school-type rants

[Flower]

i'm seriously annoyed right now. my classmates are such idiots. especially my math classmates - who are actually a grade HIGHER than me and I think could easily be surpassed by most of my grade. gah.
so we were reviewing. and talking about angles. so our teacher started talking about the difference between supplementary angles and linear pairs of angles? so my classmates started asking dumb questions like, "if there's another angle then is it still a linear pair?"

seriously. linear pair. linear PAIR. PAIR. PAIR! PAIR! PAIR! PAIR![/u][/size]

*calms down*
sorry. either way. i'm annoyed. verah annoyed.

post your experiences with bad teachers, students, or whatever.

OMG IKNOW.

i'm having the same problem. i'm in freaking algebra 1b! and all the sophmores/juniors are not very bright.

and my teacher gives SO MUCH HW.

[Đarκsong]

Lol, I'm gunna complain about YOUNGER students rather than older.

Ok. I'm a Junior this year. UPPERCLASSMAN. And the stupid freshman boys shove me around in the hallway cuz I'm small. I wanna be like STFU n00b! They think 'oh we're so cool we're in high school now'. Guess what? You're not. Get. Over. Yourselves!

And the stupid preppy freshman girls either bug the crap outta me OR give me dirty looks during study hall. BEING A FRESHMAN DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL. AND NETHER DOES WEARING A&F AND ALL THAT CRAP.

Gawd >.<

[რoonwhisker]

AGREED.

But I'm a freshman :]

Nothing in A&F fits me. haha

[Đarκsong]

AHHHHH FRESHMAN *hides*

Arg, I have to take the ASFAB....it lasts 3 stupid hours and will supposedly tell me what job i should do. Then I can set up stupid job shadowing. The test is during 2 of my classes on Wednesday, HONORS English and Biochemistry. I might die with the amount I'll be missing >.<

lawl, I'm still middle school. I feel out of place.

well, they did it again. "Equilateral... what does that mean again?"
Equilateral. Equi and Lateral. ACTUALLY USE THAT GREY THING IN YOUR SKULL FOR ONCE! ._.

I just have to wonder if they could have dug up a more dried-out prune for my science teacher. And the person's not a very nice old prune, either. Um... can't remember a word of French, and since that's all that you're allowed to speak in the class, it's difficult. I have no idea what to expect from my math course, since I have somebody new to the school. English promises to drag. My lunch is... unappeasing to me and my mighty wrath. However, history will be--and I can't believe I'm saying it, it's blasphemy to my own ears--very, very interesting, and possibly even cool. Theater class is going to be worth it, I can feel it.

Now, I've just been talking aimlessly about classes. Um, students, for the most part, EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD I'm friends with are in my classes, except for theater. But that's because I was an idiot and started taking it a year after everybody else. The incoming students (that I come in contact with, anyway) are actually very nice, sometimes even cool. Well, albeit I know some of them, and I'm all like in this preppy voice "OMG I MISSED YOU SOOOOO MUCH I LOVE YOU!!" But that's pretty much to everybody. That's because my mind's on the fritz and I'm having mood swings as bad as the administration, who can't decide whether they love us or hate us... oh, and I'm being completely literal here. That, and my middle school history teacher is coming back to haunt me, and my favorite math teacher ever is leaving. So yeah. Life's pretty good, all in all. Not much to rant about, for having taken up two paragraphs. ^^

Oh God. I KNEW I'd find a decent place to spew eventually.

So I'm a junior this year. (-hi-fives Emzie-) I'm loving my classes, my teachers, the new full-period lunch, pretty much everything -- with a small exception. I'm just now realizing I've taken a bunch of classes I don't give a crud about and have NO reason to take except a tiny bit of pressure.

Physics, Spanish, US History. All but that last are NOT required. I could pass any of 'em with my eyes closed. And there's ALREADY been homework. Now, English, Music Theory -- that's all well and good. I LIKE those classes, it's something I might continue -- AND there's enough challenge that I don't wish I was anywhere but sitting through stuff I already know. It's actually something I CARE about -- but the other stuff? Ugh.

The upshot of it all? I come home feeling like somebody's been running me over with a steamroller and wanting NOTHING more than to relax, and by the time I'm done with my homework I'm just like "Who cares about all that junk that actually matters...I just want to take the chance to do nothing." And believe me. Instrument practice, my writing, my art, my social life and computer -- all that matters a TON more than the stupid classes I shoved myself in.

It is SO infuriating to have nothing more than your own brain make you not care about things that really mean something to you, and to just sit around in your room wanting to do nothing even though you KNOW you'll regret it later. I think that's why I had such a crappy year last year -- I spent most of my free time sleeping. If I'm not working on a project, moving towards a goal that really feels vital to me, I start to get restless -- I feel edgy and unhappy with myself, because it seems like my life's going nowhere. Seems a bit stupid maybe, considering high school IS where my life is going -- but it's always been more important to me to have something I'm WILLING to work for than to have a necessity I can sleep through. Music and my writing are the only things that do that for me.



...Ahaha. That ended up really long. But it wanted an out. It's not really so bad, mostly just getting used to waking up at 5:30am and being willing to write straightaway. But it's incredibly frustrating while it lasts.

One of the kids in my English class was asked what the predicate of a sentence was and he just stared blankly. Ugh. And lunch today was horrid. As usual. Just a general day among idiots here. What really surprises me is that quite a few have straight A's. :/

[☆§wìftflame☆]

high school SUCKS.
kthnxbi.

[.&&. Snowsong.]

I'm still in middle school. Except, we work like high-school students. 'cause it's an advanced/magnet school. Everyone's supposed to be smart, right? Well, WRONG. >>

I have a dude in my Spanish class, and BOY is he annoying. He can't pronounce words right, and he asks stupid questions like, "Say my city or state?" or "Es -- Oh, wait, no. *looks at paper* Oh, yeah Espa-- Wait, *looks at paper AGAIN and STARES* Uh.. Hm, yep. Espana." Give us a break, arsehole. >>

There's another dude in my class, though our schedules changed and THANKFULLY I don't have classes with him anymore. He acts all cool and nerdy when he sucks.

Also, there are some retarded people in my class. Like, Jonathon. Though he's my language and kinda smart, he's so retarded. Yet funny. xD Though, when he's quiet, you wanna punch him in the face so bad. xD

In my English class, there's this b!tchy girl that sits either next or in front of me. She doesn't like me, and she always acts as if I don't exist or that my name isn't even registering in her mind. And I get HER journal for her. Bish. >> I mean, she even told on me for no reason, and the boys at my table, Peter and JaCorey, said, "Teresa didn't do anything, though.." The teacher didn't believe them, and she said, "Mm-hm..." Then, that bish, her name's not worth typing, sits down and the boys try to tell her that she told on me for no reason. She goes, "Well, I don't like her." I wanted to sink my nails into her throat so bad. >>

Some people are so, idiotic. They're all like, "Oh, yeah, I'm better than you," when they are way lower than my friends' and my level. How did they get into this school, I wonder.

[რoonwhisker]

Snow, your name is Theresa?

I'm stupid. I never really registered that your name wasn't snow. Haha.

But I get that too. Meppers = Emily. But we have Emzie so Meppers is easier :]


But neways. The kid I sit next to in my French class is SOOOOO annoying.

He thinks he's the best at everything and HE NEVER STOPS SINGING.

[Flower]

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN.
A kid in my science class has ADHD or something and he's super annoying. He often lets out loud yodels at inappropriate times. Yes, you read that right. And he's violent. He constantly threatens to punch people in the face or whatever. He's in my french class too and he can hardly ever pronounce stuff right, but at least he's less hyper.

[♫.Starredmyst]

-also has an annoying kid story-

The girl who sits next to me in my US class is so...gahh. She just kind of spits out whatever is on her mind. For example, if my teacher were talking about, I don't know, important cities and mentioned Washington DC, she might interrupt him in the middle of a sentence with, "Hey, I've been there!" And it'll lead the entire class on a random side discussion, and by the time my teacher gets their attention again, he has to start his lecture from a different spot. He's good at getting them back on track, but STILL, sometimes I really wish I could hear the point he was getting at before the interruption.

And the worst part is, I really can't get mad at this girl 'cuz I swear, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. It's not like she's being malicious or disruptive or anything. She's actually really nice, she just...comes out with stupid stuff because she never learned how to keep her mouth shut. x.x;

[.&&. Snowsong.]

Meppers, my name is Teresa. You just got the 'h' wrong; I has no 'h'. xD

Anyway, yeah, I got some really annoying, selfish people. They'd look at you, if you got something wrong, and act like they hated you.

Yeah, short story, but, I gotta go. >>
