School Rant of 2009

I feel like everything is falling apart. It used to be easy to be a straight A student. Little effort was required and I was rarely stressed. But now, with the coming of high school, it's so different. Every little thing sets me off, stressing again. With the same classes everyday, there's no release, no break from class. No chance to procrastinate. We have to do everything on time, well, correctly, perfectly if we want to graduate. We have to be good at everything. There are so many tests each week, so much homework, there's little time for relaxation, little time to breathe. It's making me unravel bit by bit, and by the end of they year, possibly by the end of the semester, I'm going to be empty and completely unraveled. I can't take this really. Too much that's too hard at the same time. I need a break. But even with Thanksgiving break, it's not a break because I'm going to be traveling. With the band.

And since I was sick, I'm now playing catch-up, with teachers wanting everything to be done by the end of the quarter. Which is in two days, mind you. So, a movie watched, an essay (Spanish, mind you) test took, an FST test took (taken??), Chemistry quiz taken (definitely taken), and Euro notes copied and understood. Possible, not really. Expected, but of course! I'm in high school. It's only normal for the impossible to be expected.

that that? no! the NEW that!

okay. i still don't really know what that was all about. all the "thats" were incredibly confusing. and is there a new that? i'm ver confused. i know the facebook that, and the old that. . . anyway. traumatizing much.
so. i'm theoretically studying spanish right now. but I'm really making a friendship bracelet/posting. so we'll see how i do on the quiz.

why are irritating, stupid, obnoxious, immature people created? and no, andy, i'm not being a superhero right now. i'm doing physics questions.
life really sucks. at the moment.

homework.
rawr.

sigh

I am better now. I no longer feel violent towards her. Though I'm still rather pissed. Very pissed, might I add.
And I love Prince Caspian music!! it was my savior... sorta. Okay. that sounds really lame. so i'm just going to end this right here and now.

FREAKIN PISSED

she gave me a freakin 75% on my collage when I spent four hours on it one saturday. i spent so much time on it. i'm sure she hates me. i know it.
i have officially written her funeral march, though it's too epic for the beetle on the face of humanity. so i must change it.
NOT. HAPPY.

Disapproval. With Bertha at his side.

I did homework from once I got home, 4:30ish, to now. 7 minutes before 9:00 PM with only two breaks; one bathroom, another dinner. Oh wait, there was another. Pushing the cat off my book. Twice. Le sigh.
Anyway, not happy. Disapproval. A whole bunch of it aimed at this cruel world in which we live.
Good day.

And who shall die tonight...? >.>

So I’m killing Gayle Wentworth, Sam Jones, Andrew Wicker, Balak Hussein, Azizah Hussein, Yasser Hussein, and Joseph Kitagawa. It’s a sad day in EconWorld. *tear*
JK. I’m just completing my Econ assignment. lol.
Anyway, 9th grade is getting better, marginally. I’m not floundering in Physics, which is nice, but ELA and Econ have hit an all-time low. I HATE THEM!
Gah.
Good day! Just wanted to say I posted!

*grumble*

my life is suckish right now. I mean, really. I've had probably the worst week of my existence so far. And it’s only Wednesday. The hump day, as I’ve been told. (don’t think about it that way, please. Not in the mood.)

So, after a total sleep-deprived weekend, Monday rolls around with me sick and dreading running with the mutt. I get up at about 5:45 and run for about fifteen minutes. My knee starts hurting like hell so I turn back, take a shower, have breakfast, get on the stupid and crowded bus, and get to school. Then I forget my combo. The same combo I’ve had since sixth grade. Monday wasn’t all that horrible. Until after school. When I get headgear. 14 hours a day of wearing it. It’s stoopie.

Then Tuesday. An ‘A’ Day. Would usually be a “nough said” situation, but then I have Econ where I get a 12/15 on my assignment that I thought I understood. So I stressed out over that until Physics comes. I. Am. Going. To. Fail. Or die. Whatever comes first. Anyway, I almost had a mental breakdown cause the teacher left early, leaving us to muddle slowly through our stupid speed labs. WHICH WE HAD SUCH TROUBLE WITH!!!!

Then today. Wasn’t that bad. I got about 3 hours of sleep last night, with a cold. And I figure out after school today I have a slipping kneecap. So i have to have stuff done. God.

I. Hate. 9^th. Grade.

FRee... *sigh*

Well, as Maggie said, the first two days are DONE! And boy were they irritating. I seriously went from seeing 0 people to 1200 in a matter of minutes. I was shell-shocked for the rest of the day, and in a seriously foul mood.
And to add to that, I now get up a half hour earlier than usual so I can run with my dog in the morning. *sigh*
I, already and again, hate 'A' Days with a passion because the surplus of stoopie classes such as band and e-physics and ELA. 'B' Days are looking up, though, what with Government and Spanish and Adv. Algebra. Health is a downer. As much as a downer as Econ is looking like an upper.
Anyway. We have the whole year ahead of us. Pray to Lafae for getting us through this year. And fear Natazi so he doesn't kill us. Though that might be a welcome relief...
Nah.

P.S.
Venting about school! Haven't used that tag in a while!

50th POST HAS ARRIVED!!!

Well, everyone, the 50th post. It has finally here after it's brethren practically went extinct, lying dormant for the school year's pressure to be gone.
And speaking of school (gag), I got my report card today!! Yes, after a brutal two hour soccer practice, I come home to find my report card sitting on the table. Just sitting there. It almost seemed as if it was taunting me. The last part of school left. With this thing opened, I would FINALLY be free from the torturous grasp of eighth grade. So, with a brave frame of mind, somewhat, I stepped forward to open it. Well, after ten minutes of struggling, it was bent and somewhat crumpled, but not open. Why do they do this to us? Our grades, our FINAL grades, are given to us, but we must pass yet another test to be able to get to them! What kind of CRUEL, TWISTED, MALICIOUS mind came up with this?
So then, my mom walks over and says, “Your report card!” Then she grabs it away, fiddles with it for a bit, and, voila, it’s open. I stare at her, completely dumbfounded. It was exactly like that AT moment with the un-unlockable door. We, great minds though we were, had many issues with that lock and key. Then some random person walks by and opens it. Just like that. I felt stupid then, and I feel stupid now.
Anywho, I did pretty well. 11.875 GPA. An A- in geometry (which i’m REALLY happy about cause I thought I had failed my final... which reminds me, we STILL haven’t gotten the grades for those back yet. Sigh. He takes forever.) and comments such as “A good young woman” and “Good participation” and “Nice work” and, the best one of all, “Good citizen” from none other then the famous Mrs. B. Yes, good times, good times.
But that’s pretty much it. I fell a few times during practice, and no, Maggie, I did NOT get hurt, and kicked a lot of balls. So summer’s pretty good so far... Good day!!!
(Whoa. Long post today. Sorry, folks!)

Well. . .

Well. . . I dunno why I'm posting. Perhaps it's to celebrate that the brain-frying written MCAs are over. Maybe it's because I'm procrastinating. (what a surprise) But it's most likely because. . . well. . . I don't really know. Boy, whoever's reading this is most likely asleep on their keyboard. I'd give my sincerest apologies if I felt like it, but since I really don't, let's move on.
Today was boring. Two hours of brain-deadedness... I hate MCAs. And having it be in Mrs. K's stuffy/hot classroom made it oh so much better. Then band. Whoopdeedoo. Geometry was ok. The test wasn't that bad. (I know. Two math tests on one day. How stupid is that? *sigh*) LA (Long Annoying Class) was long and annoying, hence the title, even though a third of it was non-existant. Anywho (i can't believe I just used that phrase. It's something my grandma says... Anyway...)
Spanish was tolerable. We played a game, read from a book. Ho hum. Test in two classes. Boring.
But that's it. Sorry if I killed you with the lack of brain activity. Honestly, i don't know why anyone reads this. Good day. (or is it?)

i'm posting for the hell of it

Well, it's FINALLY FRIDAY!! This week dragged on FOREVER!!! It was filled with A DAYS!!! The DREADED DAYS OF SCHOOL!! They're like the Aydes(?)of March, the school version. Cept they're every week. And no one dies. But you get the point.
Monday was bad. I was SO tired due to jetlag, but i'm good now. Working on a whole bunch of stuff. sigh. i've got like ten tons of homework. there's the wiki for LRT (on hurricanes. god. when in our lives is knowing about hurricanes going to help us. the only scenario I can come up with (because this is all common sense basically) is that some day all of us will simultaneously end on Jepordy(?) and get asked the question "Where on earth are hurricanes called typhoons?" then we'll have all forgotten where, get the answer wrong, and move on with our lives.)
then, there's geometry. i again ask myself how learning about 3D figures is going to help us in real life. and, being the kind person I am, i won't go through the entire "Jepordy Scenario" again.
there's also LA. with Tomorrow When the (frickin) War Began. Yea. bored already. yawn. sigh.
and finally creative writing with the Tribute Essay. I love how, at the beginning of the semester, they told us "We're not going to assign you guys much homework because this is an elective, and we don't want this to be taking up your LA time." Boy. Didn't THEY learn the art of lying well. but i suppose all teachers do.
That's it though. only 39 more days of school!!! W00T!!!

*shrugs*

so, I had an interesting day. i got to school at the usual time, listening to my ipod. seemed it was to be a boring day. as usual.
i got to Creative Writing at 8:43, or thereabouts, as usual, and I sat down, readying myself for another enlightening conversation on something i've been taught since fourth grade. then, we were sent down the path of creativity to come up with a relatively good twisted-fairytale. Sadly, we had to sprint down the path of creativity. there was no time for lollygagging. thankfully, i finished with five minutes to spare, and, being the person I am, I asked my wonderful LRT teacher if we had any homework. she told me we were going to get so much homework we were going to be up all night. i did not reply until she said something that shocked me, and anyone in earshot.
she said this. "You know, it'd be kind of funny to see you cry." I gaped, as did Emily, Tyler, and Mary. She laughed and said, "JK!" I made noises of distress as she attempted to "soothe" me by saying that there wasn't going to be any homework. I believe i've been emotionally scarred for the rest of my time on this wonderful planet.
then, off to social studies with the frightening dictator. it passed uneventfully. we watched the historically-inaccurate and the overly-dramatic 13 Days and played with chunks of gray sculpy clay that Will had brought. we also played BS, much to the annoyance of our classmates.
then, the dreaded LRT with the dreaded teacher, and, we soon found out, with the dreaded tech support. good lord. it was absolute torture. we began working on our Wikis and, being the dreaded teacher she is, Ms. JG stood right behind me, reading over my shoulder, because she knows i hate it when teachers are right behind me.
then science. that was fine. we watched four brain pops, only two of which related to science. the other two were about communism and steroids. the steroid one was hilarious. it said that if men use steroids improperly, they develop boobs and women will get something disrupted. (i would say, but will and jack read this too, as kwano reminded me.) god. now that was funny.
but that's pretty much it. good day!

GAH!

i hate DBQs. i hate current events. i hate mini portfolios. I HATE SCHOOL!

Summer *sigh*

I, seemingly like everyone else in this cruel school system, am out of my frickin mind. You'll find me

here:

here

and here

Anywho, see you once we a) get a snow day or b) it's finally summer. Out of my mind, be back in five months!

New Post

I know... a post... *gasp!* but gym was AWESOME!!! okay, it was just me, gremlin, mary, elesaur, eva, and ER there playing soccer under the "supervision" of Halvie... i guess there were a few other people, 2 to be exact, but they did nothing...
anyways, we played soccer and ER and i went into goal a few times to block balls and stuff... but it turned into target practice because mary and eva can kick REALLY hard, eventually turning our hands BRIGHT red and cracking a random odd joint... it was also fun to freak Halvie by kicking balls so that they hit the wall like a foot away from her head... she would jump and "snap" at us a little... (if you could even call it snapping)
but yes, gym was very enjoyable today... and so was SS... so Phisoa and i were doing this intineray thing for our "trip" to Asia... and we became VERY accomplished... we climed Mt. Everest in 40 days, and, after getting back, became world heroes... then we kayaked down the Ganges River, tipping over somewhere along the way, and reached the Bay of Bengal... Then we went to Taj Mahal, the Dead Sea, and gawped at the flashing lights of Tokyo... But, sadly, on our flight home, our plane crashed somewhere in the Amazon and we were never seen again.... After showing our teacher the finished product, she said we had creative minds... we don't know if that was an insult or a compliment...
then, i went to LRT... we got assigned this big research product, but, the good thing is is that we can choose our topic... I'm doing mine on synesthesia... (if that's how you spell it.) after she passed out the assignment, we watched the rest of The Dead Poets Society... NEIL DIED!!!! NOOOOO!! AND MR.KEATING GOT FIRED!!!
then, science... uggggg... we had a horrible sub who had a southern drawl (not that that's a bad thing), but he talked slowly in a boring monotone and confused some of us when explaining our lab... he also got really mad at Tim for no reason whatsoever...
then, when i got home, i found that my glasses STILL have not come in... SHE SAID THEY'D BE HERE IN THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK!!! THE REASON WHY I'M MAD IS BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER SPANISH CLASS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE FRICKIN BOARD!!!
but yes, that's it... Good Day!!

LRT... and stuff...

well, i might b switching LRTs... that would b SO FRICKIN NICE!!! the teacher is nice, BUT THE CLASS IS SOOOOOOO FRICKIN HORRIBLE!!! GOD!!! WHY DOES THE FRICKIN SCHOOL BOARD MAKE US DO THIS???
also, the subs from 2day were SO FRICKIN BAD!!! first off, that weird LA teacher sub in need of jaw surgery treated us as if we were toddlers... and for LRT, MRS. BEL*blank for privacy*!!! AHHHHHHH!!! ONE OF THE WORST SUBS POSSIBLE!!! SHE HATED OUR CLASS!!! and for science, THE FRICKIN CRAZY MRS. PREBL*purposely spelled wrong, thank u very much, Kwano*! AHHHHHHH!!! okay... ill stop venting and write about some semi good stuff from school 2day...
anyways, life is good besides that... i have a geo quiz tomorrow and a science quiz on friday, but yea... thats really it... kickball was REALLY bad cause the teams were uneven, especially when we played the boys... the entire kickball tournament sucked my joy of life right out of my body... yea...
also, how come whenever you come back from the field/track u have 2 walk through the thorny bushes of death that chop ur legs off??? THEY FRICKIN HURT!!! whoever planted those there were obviously trying to keep us from walking through that way, but they ALSO obviously forgot that middleschoolers r ALL about taking shortcuts... havent u realized that??? they cheat with some regularity, know all the shortcuts through the school, and tend to copy answers... anyways im tired... and i have 2 go run w/ the dog... joy... 3/4 mile of running.. W00T!!! :DD toodles!!!

i had 2 dance

well, i had to dance today... in spanish, of all the classes... we learned the salsa dance... GOD!!! THE FRICKIN SALSA DANCE!!! SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST INTIMATE OF DANCES!!!! AND I HAD 2 DO IT WITH ER!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! WE HAD 2 DANCE FOR AN ENTIRE FRICKIN HOUR!!!! GOD!!!!
and, besides that, we learned an annoying spanish song...El Gato Volador... GOD!!! u go "el gato volador... el gato volador..." and wave ur hands around like a crazy person... (elesaur, gremlin, kwano, DONT tell phisoa what it means when u do it 2morrow... i like 2 bug her... :DD)
also, I HAD 2 TAKE THE FRICKIN TEST FOR 3 FRICKIN HOURS 2DAY!!! HOLY FRICKIN COW!!! ITS NOTHING LIKE THE ACTs!!! GOD!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
*takes deep, calming, cleansing breath**does some of Paul's exercises* all better... sorry... was going on a bit of a rant... so, yea... thats the bulk of my day...

>.<

well, today in "church", we saw graphic slides... it was... uhhhhh... HORRIBLE!!! FOR AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES, I HAD TO SIT THERE AND LABEL DIAGRAMS!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! it was pretty bad... friday night was actually kind of fun, but today, it was HORRIBLE!!!
and, besides that, i had to right that essay for LA, redo my procedure, and do the data table... plus, i had to study for the dumb SS test... joy... can't wait for THAT one...
and, TOMORROW IS A FRICKIN MONDAY!!! WITH GEOMETRY!!! AND LA!!! AND SPANISH!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
