Why is School so Difficult?

"I have to read..." I thought lamely.

I have to do a book report for Tuesday on an Spanish book. I haven't finish that freaking book! I knew I had to finish reading it this weekend. I won't do it on Monday. I hate reading boring books and even more when I am forced to. I prefer science fiction and written in English. It is horrible to read with deadlines pressuring in the whiteboard because it is now homework and not for fun. I read some stuff for fun. I am not a reading fan or anything, but when I get interested in something I finish it in short time. For example, I love Harry Potter. I have had read six out of the seven books. ( I just have to finish the fifth one.) The seventh one I read it twice and in about a week.

So I had to finish the book today. It was kind of short compared to J.K. Rowling's work, but it okay. I am reading Narnia's sixth book, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair. (As you may see I like fiction books.) I had to read it in Spanish so it doesn't sound as entertaining as in English. The books are always better in English because the translation into Spanish is shorter and it doesn't have that amount of details.

I read the book anyways expecting it to be a little better. It wasn't awesome but not bad either. Like I said, it was okay. I finally finished reading it today in the swimming pool. I dared myself to finished it before going in the pool. It was really hot which made me read faster. I knew that if I went into the pool I wouldn't go back and read.

I felt much more relaxed after I finished that book. I didn't think of all the work that I still had to do. I just focused on enjoying my accomplishment. When we got home my mom congratulated me. I felt so proud of myself...But then she just had to ruin the moment.

"Honey, but don't you have to do the book report on what you just read?" she said innocently.

"Nooooooooooooooo!" I thought.

That freaking report! I totally forgot about it. I just did half of the work. I did the "easy" part. Now I have to kind of re-read the book to write the report. It sucks! I have the beginning of it already, so I decided to finish it tomorrow. I am actually not sure if I should leave all for tomorrow. I think I should at least do some more today. I don't feel like doing a lot of work tomorrow. I will have to do the report and tomorrow's homework. Why is school so difficult?
