Tired of running the marathon

My dad is a marathon runner, but the only kind of marathon I've participated in is school. After 13 years of mandatory schooling (including kindergarten; I didn't repeat!), 4 years of college and so far 2 years of grad school, I am ready to be DONE!

I start class tonight and just really do not want to head to campus again. It reminds me of a joke I heard long ago about a marathon runner who had one mile to go and was too tired to continue - so he turned around and ran back to the start. Obviously, it is ridiculous and makes much more sense to just finish that mile, but my heart goes out to the fictitious little harrier. I feel your pain, my man!!
