Am I Ready For Christmas?

In two weeks time, comes the ever so anticipated holiday of gift-giving and merry-making. A time where we give gifts, exchange cards, and to the excited ones, light up the fireworks. But recently, school has been doling out it's presents early, and mostly in the form of long tests and essays galore.
All these "blessings" have been taking a toll on my mind, and ruining my day
So begs the question, Am I ready for Christmas?

Usually, I'd look forward to Christmas, wondering what I'm going to get from under the tree. Counting days until the Christmas break arrives, ready to pack my bags and go home. Enthusiasm always on the plus side.


Alas, school has started to drain away my interest in the holiday. So to say that I haven't been performing my best in my academics, proven by the number of test papers I've crumpled out of frustration. A whiplash effect ensues as the emotion sends my mind into some sort of "refusal to learn" mode as the teacher introduces the class to a new lesson after returning our papers. I don't have anything against learning, It's just that I want to go someplace and cool off, maybe then my mind will accept more information.


The more I get caught up with all this work, the less I start thinking about Christmas, what I want, what to get. Every time I think of the holiday, I have absolutely nothing. I've lost it somehow, I hard to see myself enjoying the 25th.


So all I want for Christmas is a break
