Even I'm Tired of me



  "As of Monday, your new teacher will be Mr. Daniels. Let's try to avoid any negative consequences, okay?"

  I think about how me avoiding consequences would be like the rain avoiding the sky.

  She waves me out, and as I stand, I look at that poster again. I wish I knew what it was I should learn, because I know that I should know a lot more than I do.

  She sighs as I leave her office and I know she's tired of me.

  Even I'm tired of me.
