So Close, Yet So Far

      Happy Wednesday! I'm super happy right now because I finished my second and last AP exam today! It was AP U.S. History, and it was brutal, but I'm fairly confident that I passed, which is all that matters to get college credit. Now the end of the school year is so close that I can almost taste it...except that I have to take five finals next week. And I haven't started studying for any of them. Maybe it's just because it's the end of the school year, maybe it's because of the beautiful summer weather, but I can't seem to find the motivation to study. I just don't care anymore.
      You know how I always sign my posts "Carpe Diem, Brooke"? Carpe Diem is one of my favorite quotes, not only because I take Latin, but it's so beautiful in its simplicity. It's a nice little reminder that our existence in life is just a millisecond compared to eternity, so we need to take the precious time we have and spend it how we want to, instead of worrying about trivial little things like tests. I actually really resent the government and whoever else is "in charge" because at one point they decided how everyone was going to live their lives, to a certain extent, but I really can't break out of the system if I want to be successful (unfortunately.) I guess I will have to study for my physics test...even though I'd rather be in a Parisian cafe reading beautiful poems and novels and drinking coffee :)

Carpe Diem,
Brooke :)
