transomwhiplassHaha, almost rhymed.
Uhm. Today sucked. So did yesterday. So will the rest of this week.
I hate philosophy. Mr. Westerman can just go get hit by a bus for all I care. "I don't want a novel. I just want a basic answer." I give him basic, and its not enough. Fucker. I hate him and his stupid goddamn class. I'm so much better at bullshitting on Christianity and anything about Jesus can never be fully marked wrong. However, there is a right and a wrong in his class. I made a SEVERE error in judgement. However, I am glad I didn't take Mr. B's U.S Christianity class (like I swore to do frosh year), I heard everyone is failing because their class participation grades suck so much. I heard Jaz is, and she is so quiet.
Did I mention how absolutely horribly and discriminatory participation grades are? Introverts are a minority. If you gave all the hispanic/black/asian/gay/handicapped/etc. kids bad grades - it would be a red flag. People who fail to acknowledge (::COUGH:: MR. ALBRIGHT ::COUGH::) that people cannot be as insane and dominant in the classroom and may have severe problems with talking in class (I know I learn best from listening, when I talk - I don't hear a word I say). Its an awful thing to tally onto a person's preformance. If you do fine in the end, who cares how you learn. I almost didn't make it to Honors English and H Econ./AP Govm't for the same reason. Sr. Jane was appalled in Greece when I was talking about how I almost didn't get in. I figure if I have too many problems, I will take it to her. She owes me one after putting me on display in front of the health class - "these are introverts.. look how they act, don't they seem uncomfortable." That is probably the only malicious thing she has ever done - but I know she has consideration for personality types, that is what matters.
So yeah.. 84 on Philosophy test. What a piece of crap. English quiz, she claimed "would only go as far as we went in class," then after the quiz, we got into the slides with the answers. UGH!! That quiz was total shit and I hate the "Seafarer." She can go from amazingly kind & understanding to cruel & unreasonable bitch in zero seconds flat. She was *angry* with us this morning. Gr.
Javascript. Ms. Stasio needs to totally get a clue. She assigned an exercise that she can't even do. Thank god she pushed the test to tomorrow. She doesn't teach & has no idea what is going on.
Journalism - as totally stressful as it is, and as bizarrely out of control putting the paper together was today. I've been able to vent, run around all in charge-y, & feel needed by everyone. Even Laura acknowledges needing me- she was upset because she overheard from a friend that "the staff hated us." Which, by process of elimination ::cough:: the editors that didn't show up at lunch as required/asked ::cough:: Elizabeth was the only one who would have that reason. Honestly, I've been defending her for weeks to multiple parties. If she wants to attack me, the job I'm doing, and the paper - which I have already put so much into, I will wig out. She is the bane of existance in journalism. Her inprecision, her lack of acknowledgement to standards, rules, & everything Laura and I say, is what makes us cranky. We get to go back (probably this weekend) and fix everything she managed to fuck up. She is driving me nuts and I've been on her side. She should have shown up at lunch - that just.. that was totally inconsiderate.
Drawing is nuts, I finally got Ms. Costa to approve my composition. I dunno, its one more thing to do. Drawing deadlines are painful on top of the other things to worry about. Especially since I tend to over think and turn super anal as far as perfection (I think she gave me a "100" on my gradients/textures just to boost my confidence and get me going). I just know that everything MUST be good and perfect because they ALL need to go into a portfolio.
My existance is super stressful as far as Rice application. My mom couldn't go to the senior meeting so Ms. Skelly sent her an e-mail with the powerpoint. She also confirmed some really large fears of mine, I am competing for that program not only with general applicants but ALSO with fellow SAA seniors. One (probably the only), I know is Megan Mills. This is tough. She is a really powerful speaker (I assume writer) and is hyper-charged in class. She is the drawing class before me (which I wish I was in so I could spy & compare drawings - push myself that much harder). I don't know. It's making me nuts. She isn't in my math class - that means she is either above me in Calculus BC or below me. From what I know, she is a history/english person which REALLY makes me question this.. I think I need to start up a conversation or something.
Ugh. Sorry this ended up being long. I need to vent and stuff.
Oh, sorry if you don't see me much this week - I'm probably camped in the journalism room or something. I will be at Orchestra Weds. & Fri. after school.
