It's the last week of the first semester of school, and every day seems to get longer. Christmas break is only a few days away, and going to school becomes impossible. Every teacher crams hundreds of tests and quizzes into the final days before break.
Monday is the worst day of the week. Sunday just ended, and it is time to go back to school. The bad test grade that was forgotten about over the weekend is now laying turned over on top of the desk. A small tear lands on the paper as the teacher checks over the correct answers. It seems like nothing will erase the horrific sight of the grade that stained the paper. Monday’s throw off the rhythm from the past week, and trying to get back into a routine can be rather difficult. The lack of sleep

The last few days of the quarter. It is the one week when the test calendar is full every day. At least two tests and two quizzes make it up. How could anyone survive an AP English test, an APUSH test, and an honors Spanish quiz? Study. Study. Study. Don't wait until the class before to decide it's a perfect time to start looking over the material. I guess I have not learned my lesson. I wait till the last minute every time, but that is besides the point. Do not change number twenty seven from B to C, then from C to A. Never second guess the first answer.
The main distraction students face is Christmas break. During this time, students lose focus on their grades, and they daydream about the break during class. People quit studying during the most exhausting week of the school year. Make Christmas break a motivation to do well instead of a distraction. Have the break push towards exam exemption to get an extra three days off. After all of the tests and quizzes are over, there will be time to relax, so don't give up beforehand.
With the countless tests and quizzes on the worst Monday of the week, and with Christmas break on the mind, death week can be survived with self-confidence, focus, and
Christmas is the most popular festival globally. Christmas is an occasion that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The origin and the history of Christmas have pagan roots. It is said that the origin of Christmas began 2000 years ago when the birth of Christ took place. History mentions that Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary in a manger and it is said that a star guided the three Magi who traveled from the East to Jerusalem to shower gifts on baby Jesus. It is believed that Jesus was the Son of God and he came to the world to spread the message of God. The New Testament is unable to provide any information regarding the date or year related to the birth of Jesus Christ. St. Mark, which is an ancient
On the last day of the semester, I was still a bit sick, but I had to take my exams. After I finished and corrected the language arts exam, I got a 90 and I was happy. I texted my dad and he came and got me from school. When I got home, I slept for an hour. Then most of the break was playing on my computer.
Every year at the end of August, kids start to gather supplies, buy new backpacks and clothes, and mentally prepare themselves for what they know is coming quickly. School, a word most children dread. No one wants summer to end and for the pressure and anxiety of school to start back up. But what if summer did not actually exist? Officials in Granbury ISD need to consider switching to an all year school system where students have less time to forget the material, but more mental breaks.
The book that has influenced me is “Debbie Macomber Christmas Tree Lane.” When I was growing up, my parents were divorced and it was hard on me. Not only having to go to separate homes, but with all of the hard work my mother was having to do on her own. This book talks about how two little kids try to bring their divorced parents back together, not only for the kids’ sake, but also for their parents. It also talks about how these puppies were left on their doorstep, and they were there to rescue them. With me loving animals and my sister rescuing a dog is why this book has influenced me.
My Christmas break started off really relaxed and not really doing much and for the most part, just little things preparing for the big day when Christmas actually comes. We have to clean house because my grandma comes over and my mom thinks that everything has to be perfect. Christmas is my favorite time of the year because I get tons of new toys and get to spend a lot of time with family. Every year a couple days before Christmas my family gets to drive to Belton to get to spend time with my granny and have a little Christmas there with her.
Well, at Christmas it can definitely get a little confusing. In my family we have 4 Jack’s. The first Jack is me, of course. Next, is my grandpa, which is my mom’s dad, everybody usually calls him Big Jack. Then my dad’s, stepdad, is also named Jackie, but everybody prefers to call him Jack. Lastly, my uncles dog is named Jack. It is very confusing at Christmas, everybody is always saying one of our names, and all four of us (including the dog) turn and look. Apparently, nobody planned this, but I think differently. We are working on nicknames, so it doesn’t get too confusing!
Having the fact that we had a four day weekend completely threw me off my game. I felt less focused and stressed in completing all of my assignments. In the contrary I do feel accomplish with every assignment I complicated and it help push myself to do more. In the beginning I was thrown off but I manage to find my way all on my own. I did have a few setbacks for me this week that I wasn’t expecting. I originally had a meeting this week for a project I was going to be working on with an app developer within the area, however I learned that mixing business with pleasure was a huge mistake and now I am no longer on this project. I also made the mistake of thinking I had class this week on Tuesday and not Thursday so I unfortunately wasn’t able to accomplish the certain goals I have set for myself this week such as filming a video for my Youtube channel. This week the cons certainly outweighed the pros.
What I did over Christmas beak was a lot of things. The things I did was sleep, went shopping, ate a lot of food, spent time with family, went out of town and watched movies. During the break I had a wonderful time doing a lot of things. I’ve never had this much things to do on Christmas break, and this is the first time I did all of this. I think that this Christmas break is probably one of the best break I ever had.
Ever been stuck in a heated, torturous, and boring classroom? Glued to your chair, counting down the seconds to 3 o 'clock. Clearly, anyone who attends a public school witnesses these emotions every day, until the weekend arrives. Finally, a time where children can sleep in as long as they want, or even stay up as long as they want. But then, school kicks off once again on Monday morning. Ever wish every day was a weekend? Doesn’t that sound just too marvelous to be true? Few events, such as this, will occur throughout the school year; however, the longest and most satisfying of all is clearly, Christmas break. Christmas break is a time to make memories with friends, family, and loved ones. Although there is a countless amount of stunning events that transpired during the break, three are my personal favorites.

What does Christmas mean to you? To me Christmas is about spending time with family and giving to celebrate Jesus birthday. Christmas can be over commercialized as things that it is not. People try to make Christmas about buying gifts, Santa, and receiving presents. These are advertised all over the place right after Thanksgiving all the way till Christmas.
However, for other students, the start of another school year is a burden, especially when they’re forced out of summer vacation mode, into a daily routine of having to get up early, expected to follow school rules again and given a daily dose of homework.
Heavy traffic, busy work day, approaching deadlines, hot summer heat, and loss of sleep due to relationship troubles describes my hell week in summer 2015. It was just one of those weeks where everything that could go wrong, did. I was running around fanatically all week to keep my head above the water.
And the school holiday is a very crucial time for students because they can rest and indulge in their favourite pastimes like reading, playing outdoor games, travelling, etc, which they would not otherwise have the time for.
