32 days until graduation but only 23 days until the last day of class; 16 actual class days. My seniors are slipping away. Today they seemed disheveled, like it was a Monday after a difficult weekend. After today, there are only 2 more Monday's left of regular school. It is hard for me not to remember how crazy this time is-- crazy for me as a high school senior, crazy for me as a mother of a high school senior. I watch them with excitement and a little pity. They have accomplished a lot and most don't want to do anything anymore. I understand some of their apathy, I tolerate with patience, knowing that my getting upset about any of it won't really help. I yelled at them the other day because they were ignoring my instructions. They all looked at me like I had lost my marbles, but they stopped ignoring me.
