Ah yes. Sitting down at the computer typing up a bio with the sun shining into my room while munchin' on a cookie. What a delightful day. Aside from the fact that I failed the shit out of my History test, got a D on my Language project, and accidently dropped clay on the floor in art and got in mad trouble for it, it's a fine day. Notice anything strange about that? How I happen to stay happy even though I suck ass at school? I find it funny, too. There's just so much more out of life I can get than school and I don't want it to fuck over my ideals in life. Even though it takes up 6 crucial hours of my day, and makes me go to bed before the time of the day I am most constructive (The mid night, of course) I somehow just... Ignore it when involved in something else.



There's something that's pissing me off, though. Today my mother went to see my teachers in a conference in regards to my failing grade in Science and History. She talked with all of my teachers one by one. Oh sure. Some old same old. "You have a smart kid. He is very talented blah blah shouldn't take him out of gifted." Blah. Blasphemy. I'm pissed that I am not getting out of gifted History and Science. First of all, my science teacher is BOGUS. She says things under her breath and expects us to remember it 6 weeks later. Aside from the fact that she can't control the class, which is a MAJOR pet peeve I have developed. The History teacher is fine... He teaches and all. Expects us to be gifted and do stuff we can do on our own and all that, but History just isn't my subject. I can't remember things that happened 200 years ago, much less do I care about them. Even when I study (Yes I HAVE studied a few times) I still fail or get a D on tests.



Now... because I'm such a "smart kid" and because I do extremely well in ONE area (Logic. Math and grammer are my strengths) They want me to stay in all the other gifted classes. I say to myself "What the hell?" Why stay in a gifted class and Fail when I can go to a lower class and pass easily? An A looks better than a D or an F, and in College, they don't give a shit whether you were in Gifted or not. Why should I sit around and act like I'm some retard when I can look like a straight A student who always does his work and excells greatly? But this leads onto a another thing that makes me mad.



The range of the challenge classes are. Gifted class: really difficult for me (Unless it's one of my strengths) too much work to remember, too much stuff to do. Regular class: a synch. Almost no work, and it's all extremely easy. Tests are preschool material. So... Why don't they make a level inbetween? Like "Halfassed Gifted kids." I'm not afraid to say I'm not good enough for a class, but it seems like everyone else thinks I am. I tell them everyday "If I were in a regular class I'd be a straight A student" they ONLY reply I get is "You'll be bored." Well, of course I'll be bored, but at least I can draw or read or some shit. Things that are actually CONSTRUCTIVE. And on top of that, it'll look good on my GPA. So why not? The only classes you REALLY need in life are Grammer and Math, the TWO FUCKING CLASSES I'M AWESOME AT. If I didn't have to sit through this shit and learned Math and Grammer on an advanced level, I'd fly through life with no problem at all. Basic skills my ass. When are we going to use the structure of animal cells in life? HMM?? LEAVE THAT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW IT! I certainly don't. The only reason I would use that is if I were some scientist trying to find a cure for herpes or something. WHICH I'M NOT GOING TO BE, THANK YOU. The things I WANT to do I am already excelled in. Web Page Designing, art, and possibly acting. All three of those jobs bring in alot of money. Look at paintings. Fucking 1000 bucks for a glop of paint. And people actually buy it. Web Page Designing. 800 bucks and up for a webpage design that's managable. Actor. Millions of dollars a movie, or TV show. Why should I sit in class learning about some fat guy back in the 1700's when I could be rolling in the dough from something I actually enjoy doing?



People say school prepares you for the real world. We are in the real world, you idiots. Here's a way you can "prepare me," CHUCK ME IN IT! Don't make me sit in some caged arena leaning back and watching the show until I'm "mature enough." I am ready and eager to work NOW. I can handle a job. As long as I don't have school to worry about. People say "A job is harder than school is. You'd better get ready." Right. At a job, I have to remember 6 different topics with endless facts and do work on each of those topics, remembering everything in past events. I'm sure. First of all, at a job, all I have to do is one thing. One thing I can completely focus on with no clouding whatsoever. The way your brain is SUPPOSED to work. So you can put 100% effort into it with nothing to worry about aside from it. Second, YOU GET MONEY. HELLO?! WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WORK IN SCHOOL?! THEY AREN'T GETTING PAYED!! People don't give one rat's ass about what happens in the future. They want something in return NOW. Jobs do that. Satisfying.



To wrap this whole thing up, I say to you, I think school is stupid. I want a job. If you think I'm some bitchy kid down in Florida, then fine. I'm some bitchy kid down in Florida. Amazing. I have earned your disgust. I don't give a shit. Someone can agree with me somewhere, and only people as a whole can make a hell of a difference.
