Life getting more complicated

Life just keeps getting more complicated with every passing year. Its true. The reason, I believe this is because of the technology and knowledge that we amount which is constantly having to be passed down generation to generation. Think about it, long ago people were living in rural area's taking care of their crops and animals and they did not need a k-12(kindergarten to grade 12) education because their lives were simple and repetitive. Now, we students have to lay down at least 12 years of our lifes just to get a high school diploma. Even that wont get you anywhere unless you dish out a couple thousand dollars and years of your life just to finish up a post secondary education which might still leave you unemployed with empty pockets. What ever happened to childhood and why is it now taken away from kids so quickly? Why are we expected to mature so quickly? Teachers have been preparing and scaring me for the "real world" all my life telling kids like me that if they are losers in school then they shall be losers for the rest of their lives. How can they prepare kids for the real world when it seems like they have never actually been in it? They do elementary school, high school, post secondary, and then get right back into a school in a teaching position.
I just think that time flies by too fast now days and there is just not enough time to enjoy youth or life for that matter. Luckily for me I have found a place where I can relax and not have to clutter my mind with the knowledge of the world and the problems in my life. I have been working in a saw mill(getting quite nice pay for a person of my age) in a rural area away from all the inner city madness of stress and schedules and money. This place, for me is the only place that makes sense. Its just straight forward labor work with lumber but the surroundings are beautiful and the openness of it all is so relaxing and is not something you get in the city.

***at the moment I am really stressed to bone up on my logarithm skills for math and have to finish a big essay that is due tomorrow for English. Till next time!**
