Frustration sets in

Its now day 13 of the strike (if you don't count weekends) and the enjoyment of an extended reading week has long passed. I'm now getting worried that the school year might start to conflict with my summer trip to Germany with Leanne. I'm going on this trip no matter what because its an opportunity that probably won't come again for a very long time, and the plane ticket is already booked. But if I want to be rid of this school and all the politics that goes with it... I want to write my exams and pass the course and never look back. But with each passing day of the strike it looks more and more like I'm not going to be able to finish my year. I'm praying I will but I've had my plans messed up by unions so much that I feel that its inevitable. But I won't lose hope.
