Prison For Young People

Do they think we're stupid? School is garbage! If I could pursue education with out the school environment, I would in a heart beat. I love learning, and I'm a very good student, but even I agree with most delinquents that the institution of school is just a prison.

I realize that they have to teach us to become adults, but adults don't get detention for laser pointer!!!!! I'm sorry that I was messing around with the damn thing. They told me that I could shine it in some one's eye, but I made it a point not to do that. Then after I told them that, they said I should have cooperated better with them, which I did!!!!!!! I never once lied to them, I answered all of their questions immediately after asked, and I told them who had the laser pointer right off the bat.

I guess I just don't understand. Is there job to: A) Teach me how to be an adult, B) Piss me off, C) Punish me for the littlest things, or D) Both B and C? I'll give you a hint, IT'S DDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

It's almost as if they've forgotten what they got into teaching to do, which I bet wasn't to punish kids. I get that some odd number of years makes them bitter, but come on have a heart.

End or Term

Being in a high school that runs on the trimester system, the end of the term is fast approaching. This means: make up work, last minute additions to our banks of knowledge, and lastly it means FINAL EXAMS!@&

People are always so stressed around this time of year, usually I'm in this group of people, but not this year. I've never felt more ready to take my finals then I do at this moment, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing idk but I'm going to lean towards the good. I have four finals that I have to take this term: Algebra 2, Spanish, U.S. History, and Chemistry. I know, I know the typical high school courses, but this is my life, typical high school.

I notice that people get very pissy when they're stressed, and that in turn gets me agitated. So finals might not be a worry on my mind but to the passive observer, I bet it sure looks like it.

Taking the ACT's

Now I know it isn't outdoorsy but taking the ACT's was a pretty big deal for me. I got there this morning promptly at eight o'clock with my five pencils, my TI-83 calculator, and my admission ticket. Normally I would be super nervous at this point, but last night I worked for four hours, and only got six hours of sleep. I was not in the mood to be there. I knew that if I got a good score on the test it could insure my admission in to the college of my choice. but for the life of me I just could not shake the crabby mood I was in. They came down the stairs to collect us and take us to our designated testing rooms. All I could think was, "Oh great, a royal waste of my life." When I got into the room and sat down I immediately felt better, that's all I need was to get off my feet. I was ready to take the single most important test of my life.

Overall I think that I did pretty good on the test. There were a few questions that I struggled on but the test is meant to make you struggle a little. I'm cautiously optimistic about my results. I can't wait to see what I got on it. College here I come!
