Grandfather Clock Can't Go Fast Enough

It's three periods and two tests to go until the 3:30 bell rings to signal the start of Christmas break. I'll admit it - today, school feels like a prison, and the mass escape cannot come too soon. I've got a clawing vision headache (my glasses do me no good), and I get the feeling that only the dim of my home can ease the pain. Come, clock! Tick faster!

But at the same time, I want break never to come. Better to be trapped with friends than free without them. How will I keep up, keep track? My cell phone will be useless and the internet inaccessible.

The clock ticks on. Faster, Grandfather, faster!
