I'll stick with Biology and economic thanks. At least it'll help me get a job.

Did you hear what his rant is all about? He does not want to be mediocre. Stop selling the idea that Philosophy is a good idea, mediocre man!

Famous last words: "I'm majoring in Philosophy!"

They're not last words . . . say them, and sure enough you will end up saying something else. Like, "Would you like fries with that?"

HATERS!!!!! Vocational majors (i.e. engineering & such) are just glorified trade schools... might as well go to ITT Tech!

Besides ima make hell skrilla cuz I gots charisma out the yinyang, so I'll be doing interesting stuff while you guys sit in cubicals and crunch code all day (or whatever the heck it is you guys are planning on doing).

I hate my language arts class. I have to write an intro to my 10 page paper that's due next tuesday. My teacher also says that it sucks ass. what do you think?

Examine this juxtaposition, the population of Sweden is 9,182,927, the population of Israel is 7,184,000, and the population of Bolivia is 9,119,152. So why would some thirty million people be denied the right to form their own state? The Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East, with a history stretching for thousands of years. Throughout their existence they have not been able to form a state of their own, and they have lived under cruel and oppressive tyranny. From the Muslim Caliphate to the farms of Turkey, Kurdish nationals have been censured, tortured, beaten, disenfranchised, silenced, and have had their identities stolen. These people have demanded their own state for time since the modern boarders of the Near East were drawn, with these demands unmet some of them have resorted to violence, forming groups like the PKK. Not all is bleak for the Kurdish people; they have been able to form their own regional government in northern Iraq, which has been hailed by some as a model for the entire Middle East. Although they have been through great hardship and have even more tribulations in store for them, the Kurds have hope for their independence and they now seem closer than ever to that reality.

Yeah, I bent the facts a bit, but she doesn't know much about geopoitics so it doesn't matter.

[Red Door]

It's 11:30. I'm tired as hell after my rugby game today, but I have an application to do that could help me better myself and others (as well look great on college applications). I have homework for half of my classes left to do, including consolidate 3 weeks of research on note cards. I have SAT prep work to do, including an essay. If I stop work now, it's going to have to be done on Thursday (off day, God bless the Pope) all day, and that's not an option either. I just want to fast-forward a year where I'll know where I'll be going.

I'm God, but no one believes me.

Just like Jesus. Now all you have to do is die.

HATERS!!!!! Vocational majors (i.e. engineering & such) are just glorified trade schools... might as well go to ITT Tech!

Correct

Maybe, maybe not

That happens after the age of 30 though.

I'm gonna fail an ELA project.

 

[D'Artagnan59]

If I have Asperger's Syndrome, why ain't I a math genius like D'Artagnan59?

I only just saw this. I've seen some of the posts here about my rant about the support staff. Some were nice. Some, I tolerated, because when I got the IQ test results, it said 123. Not genius, but still very smart.

This one I am just disgraced at. I will tolerate criticism of my intellect. I will tolerate if someone lols because I have a 123 IQ, yet get a C on a midterm. I will accept I will not tolerate sarcasm. There is a line for everything, Swedishguy. A post like "Hey, D'Art, not doing so well in math this year, eh?" is not across it. You have crossed the line. This is taken as an attack against me. Being a wiseass about something will get you nowhere in life.

Most of my intellectual strength comes in languages (be it Latin or English). Give me a language book, I can learn a whole school year about it. Science is a strength, and Social Studies is a very strong strength.

Also, on a pissier note: Some of you remember this rant:

High school placement recommendations came today. There are four levels (ranked from most advanced to least): Honors, College Placement, Regular, and Foundational (remedial).

As I moved down, I saw the recommendations. English: Honors. Well, I won my Regional Spelling Bee and am on my way to the State bee and have straight A's in vocab (this is important, read on) (even with the sub's corrupt grading system).

Social Studies: Honors. I knew this. I get straight A's and 1's every quarter. History has been my strong subject. Be US or World, I'll be there to answer it. Also, my teacher likes me a lot.

Physics: This is the one I get mad about. College placement. I get straight A's and a "shows great understanding in the subject" on my report card, so you'd think I'd get Honors. Heck, if you think I was mad (so mad I felt like crapping fire), my mom was even worse. Swearing was prevalent, and the phrase bleeping idiot was uttered by her many times. Why?

TANGENTAL RANT: She gives us juvenile assignments. These assignments are "make a picture book that shows us the understanding of clouds with cotton ball clouds" or "cut and paste recyclable materials in the shape of a cell's organelles with each of them associated to a city". Come on, I know you're trying to teach to the middle or lower of the class. But we're teenagers, not first graders making PICTURE BOOKS WITH COTTON BALL CLOUDS!!!

Also, a role-playing assignment. She calls it a RAFT assignment. It's basically another juvenile assignment, stands for an acronym. Because it's so immature, I call it a FART assignment. Fart jokes are immature, ergo, FART. We've had two, and we had to role-play an electron writing a letter to an 8th grader about static electricity. The other was us writing a paragraph to a 5-year-old sibling (since I have no brothers or sisters at home [a half-brother and half-sister in Philly], I wrote to my 5-year-old cousin in Philly who worships me) about how seasons work.

I'm sorry, but if she actually THINKS I should be in CP Physics (called Physical Science, but isn't it physics?), she should be shot.

If you're wondering how I did in Math: CP Geometry. I might deserve this, but I prefer Honors. I won't be mad if I'm in CP Geometry, but I'm mad at CP Physics. Look at the reasons above.

Guess what? Despite the kids' pissing and moaning about how babyish the assignments are, she still assigns them.

The first one that's sending me to insanity: Associate a cell part to a city and make a cardboard model of a cell associated to a city. I usually associate myself with my two friends in groups (they depend on me for groupwork, we crack jokes, but I still get the time to do stuff). Come on.

Then, there's a flipbook, instruction manual, or poem. I chose the poem (I put words together well). But drawing a crapload of pictures? Babyish.

This is really pushing me to the edge. She makes us do a model of a DNA molecule with the codon being the letters of our given first name. It's cutting and taping on to paper. My given first name happens to be 8 letters long. That's 24 strips of paper I have to cut.

She gives us cut-and-paste-and-color projects, yet she puts a straight A student (in science) into college prep? What the hell is wrong with her?

Ugh. I can't stand people that take themselves too seriously.

People, when you use a public bathroom, don't whiz on the toilet seat, and flush the god damn toilet.

 

[The Yankee]

It took about 90 minutes for me to get home, again. Standing in the Park Place station downtown, I hear over the PA (holy crap, it actually works! Praise be to the MTA!) "the next 2 train is now at 72nd Street."

And I've had it with people that think New York is just Manhattan up to 42nd Street and a sliver of downtown Brooklyn. They don't get why I seethe with hidden anger when it's time to arrange group meetings on a SUNDAY when it takes me at least an hour to get in! "OMG, it took me 25 minutes to get home, it's so horrible I'm so far away!"

Yeah, well, it can easily take me 125 minutes to get home, depending on how messed up the buses and trains are!

Calm down, Yankee....

People, when you use a public bathroom, don't whiz on the toilet seat, and flush the god damn toilet.

I agree, I'm tired of having to clean and waste so much paper just trying to keep myself safe.

I have a MAJOR case of senoritis.

I'm currently studying at a local community college, and these will be the last classes I need for the push to graduate high school. But that's in exactly 1 month. 1 month! It's so... so... so close.
Add that to the fact I get a car, go to several parties, and celebrate my graduation all in the month of May!

Meanwhile, here I am in April, eating scrambled eggs and listening to 80's rock in my basement waiting for high school to end. And why do I have an essay on protectionism vs. free market economics due next week? Is there no peace!?

One more month, folks.
