Senioritis

I thought that at the end of this senior year, I would be motivated through the end because it would move so fast, and I would want to leave with a good mark on my record. Unfortunately, I am plagued with senioritis. It is a devastating epidemic passing through the entire senior class at ESD (and even some of the Juniors). All of us have been accepted into a college we are interested in and some of us are even making choices between a few that really interest us, unfortunately that gives us no drive to do well. All we want is to have a fun chill fourth quarter and the teachers feel an unquenchable sensation to crush us with work, and stress us out even more than before. I only have about 15 days left, and am more crunched with work then ever. Why do teachers punish us for doing well the last three years?
