Breaking at the Wheel

A torture technique that involves tying an accused criminal to a wooden wheel and rolling it on hard, sharp, bumpy surface causing irreversible damage to bones and organs. Sometimes if the person was still alive, an excecutioner would hammer the brain with iron or drop the wheel in a lake. The bodies were often left on display to dismay criminals.

Breaking at the wheel is not a good way to go.

winter break

Winter break is the thing that every student looks forward to from the first day of school. When it's close people's brains will just stop working and you will forget about studying, tests, homework, and projects. When winter break is close you can expect your grade to drop as you spend every waking moment counting down the nano-seconds. On the last day of school 75% of your classmates won't even show up and the people who do will spend all day staring at a clock, going on their phones, playing music, and talking to their friends. And what will the teachers do? Well, most will either not make you do anything or have some fun activity planned. Some will just tell you to do any homework, and or missing assignments, a few will just stop caring and let you go on your phone, however, some will treat it as an actual day of school. Those teachers will give you homework, assignments, projects, and stuff to do over break. When school ends the second the clock hits 3:00 PM or 2:00 PM or whatever time your school goes out it will turn into a war zone. Everyone will be bolting for the exit and beating each other to get out the door in anticipation of the great break they are about to have. When you leave your classroom everyone bolts to there lockers and stampedes each other. Then when school ends and winter break is in full swing you don't really do much.

friend 1: Dude you excited for winter break?
Friend 2: fuck yeah, these last five minutes are killing me
*5 minutes later*
friend 1: oh shit, schools over
friend 2: see you in a few weeks

*enters the warzone that is leaving the classroom*
*first day of school back from break*
friend 1: so what did you do over break

friend 2: nothing, how about you
friend 1: same
*both sighs*
