Inches

It's finals week. Only three more days before school is officially over and I can relax. I can look onto the future and prepare for the next step. What remains at the moment is whether or not I want to end the year with the best result I can achieve or to just do what I can to graduate. I currently have an A in all of my classes. All of them can change to a B or lower if I don't do well on my tests. The question is, should I try to get that 4.0 that has eluded me all these years, or should I just relax and begin my summer early? The answer seems obvious, but what is making me hesitate? I have been conditioned to slack off. I've never put 100% in school ever. I don't know how to study, so I just don't, yet I still get a better grade than most. I've found that when I do study, I get a lower average than when I don't. So it remains, should I try or not? What would prepare me for what lies ahead? I'm almost there. Finals. Graduation. Summer. College. It's only inches away.
