SSS- Summer School Syndrome

In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World there is a drug called Soma that from what I've gathered basically makes anyone forget all of their negative feelings and just feel happy.  Right now I REALLY wish that it was real because I am suffering from a severe case of SSS. Many students do not choose to take summer school and those who do either do it to make up lost credits or try to get ahead of the game. Regardless of their reasons, all students who enroll in summer school eventually become infected with a disease I like to call SSS or Summer School Syndrome. Common symptoms of SSS include drowsiness, lack of motivation, short attention span, inability to get up in the morning, headaches, and brain damage. These symptoms can be seen as early as the second week of school and in rare cases on the first day. The disease is not limited to students as some staff, though they try to hide it, also suffer from its effects. The average time that a person is infected with SSS is four weeks and many students will succumb to SSS and will drop their classes rather than suffer any longer. For the few who survive however, they now have gained some valuable knowledge for their trip on the road of life and also no longer have to take that class ever again. To all students currently suffering from SSS, two more days guys, stay strong!

  1. I think the cure to SSS is not being in summer school in the first place sir.
