Realizations
On Tues, Bush took responsibility for how levels of government responded to the hurricane. That's something he doesn't normally do. Before you think I am going to start into some bullshit, today I came to a realization. And I couldn't have done it if I didn't trust my instincts and ask.
Talking to Rachael, I knew something was wrong. As the school year started and student council got kicked off, I was lucky because I couldn't get my act together but I was still given a chance. She trusted in me. She understood I wasn't having a good time dealing with my dad remarrying and that perhaps I hadn't been emotionally okay so I had been being strange. That was fair and I appreciate her thinking of me. But then, I went and started thinking of all these ways I could come out looking better than her. I have two or three plans actually and they all end in me looking better than her. I just get frustrated. There are two things on my mind that are very important to me right now and I am just thinking if I was president (and I have to do this...don't think Gore doesn't go if I had been president) , I would have been frustrated with having to totally deal with homecoming. It would be horrible because I am into helping people and making things better for people. Homecoming is a ceremony that has to be done, but as my job, I would have attempted to be doing more. Right now there are opportunities for helping with Katrina. People need to seriously discuss seminar. I don't think students should settle for their loss of seminar. For many, it's their fault for losing it. But I believe they should sign a contract to try and get things back to the way they were (with the exception of S.S.R. and the new computer lab rules...those are here to stay). So to Rachael, I apologized for thinking I was above her. I'm an equal. And she treats herself as my equal. And I believe her when she says homecoming is difficult and because of that nothing else can be done right now. It's two weeks earlier so just be cool and move on. That's what I'll do.
I'm a person who has a tough time holding something inside of me. I have to tell someone or I have to do something. If I feel it is important, I am not one to lay back and not let someone know. In some way, people will see what it is that is bothering me. Right now, my thing that upsets me the most are people who settle for something without thinking about it. Along with that, I am sick of people who can't understand that life is better if you follow the rules. (Also, if you want to change the rules, you have to first play by the rules. That goes for people who go crazy over the rules being changed and then hurt chances of getting them back to the way they were.) I followed the rules for 3 years. Now I can do virtually whatever I want in the entire school cause hall monitors, administrators (except Nash), counselors, and teachers...they know me and trust me. They know I won't do something stupid. And it's people that can't just be cool that messed up seminar and forced Calderone and others to have to change seminar. I had an interview with him for the Alltold. He didn't want to do it. But kids weren't getting it. And that being true, I don't blame him for changing it.
But then people gripe about it being changed...people who wandered and abused seminar last year (Chase Gervais). So what those people have to do is decide that if they want things back they will have to respect the passing period and the hall monitors and not socialize and go to class to get done what they need to get done. I wish it was possible to think students could realize that. But the kind of people you run into nowadays can't think like that. It's terrible.
Later.
