Autumn Anticipation

          I will shamelessly admit that I actually really like school. I simply adore learning and the structure it gives to my life. The only part that I detest is the social aspect. It's difficult to enjoy something when you're surrounded by charlatans and troglodytes. What I'm probably most excited about is English, history, and my art history class. I have always been a liberal arts person; I detest math and feel indifferent about science (excluding anatomy and biology). But I'm willing to appreciate all subjects and the benefits and opportunities they provide me with.
          It always bothers me when kids say "When are we ever going to use this in real life?". A lot of the subjects taught in school are not applicable in a literal way! It's such a simple concept to grasp yet for some reason, my peers see it as incredibly difficult to understand. English - I could go on forever about how wonderful that subject is - teaches you how to analytically think, gives you a deeper perspective, and improves comprehension as well as language skills. Personally (perhaps I'm biased), I believe English (or for you foreigners, whatever your indigenious language class was) is the most important subject of all. But of course, in order to have a complete understanding, the other subjects are necessary.
          I adore history because it's basically like reading an interesting story. It's humankind's mistakes, triumphs, failures, and successes. There is so much to learn from the past. And it further enhances a person's understanding of their world. My history class last year was incredibly demanding, but I adored it because I found it so fascinating. For my junior year, I'm taking two history classes: US history and art history. Ever since I took this college credit course on art history, I fell in love. Art is my passion and so is history. Gosh, I'm so excited! I probably sound like a nerd but I don't care. Learning is one of my passions.
          As Autumn draws nearer, I can't help but feel anticipatory. The changing of seasons are always exciting  for me.
