Schoolwork should die a painful death
Yep well it's about time now I'm realising just how screwed I am for school.
I've done jack all these holidays and I don't care because I wasn't up to working my ass of anyway. After doing it for a whole god damn term, you kind of get over it.
There is just too much work to do and not enough motivation or time to get it done, seeing as the trials are like just over 2 weeks away and there is a bio assessment first day back and english second day back.
I'm so pissed off with everything to do with school and what is expected of us. I find it impossible to have a balance between friends and work during the holidays because I don't get to spend time with my friends during a term like I do in the holidays, and I havn't seen my friends much all holidays and I still havn't really done any schoolwork worth talking about.
The teachers talk about having determination and striving for excellence, but it's almost hard to get motivated because there is so much shit we have to do in so little time. They say 'ooo it's not hard, just put in the effort" but the effort they speak of is like being a zombie and not spending time with your friends. It's almost like they say 'ooo mimimi make sure you spend time with your friends' so if people say they just want us to work the whole year straight, they can so 'oh no we defineately said friends are important too'.
...and the need for so many assessments all at the same time? Why not just have less assessments so we have more time to work on them, therefore reducing the workload. Or find a way to spread them out so they aren't all due at once? There must surely be a way, but no "we can't screw with the curriculum mimimi".
I think it's ridiculous when teachers say that we should like do all our homework and then work on assessments for x hours a night. I'd like to say 1. how can we do that much work when there is so much simpsons on T.V??? 2. they give us so much homework that is nearly impossible, and a lot of the time they'll give us an assessment at the start of a topic, so we can't really work on it equally because we havn't even learnt the god damned work yet. Or what about this... they still expect homework from other subjects when you have like 3 assessments in one whole week, and when you say 'oh I was doing three assessments' they're like "ooo that's no excuse, you should have had them done ages ago and for this point, refer back to "or what about this..."
What about the fucking english course??? There has been one essay all year 12. The rest have been speaches (not too bad), story writing...:Swtf is this???, recording a radio talkback show:S and lets hear it, a frigging visual representation. Now I mean it when I say that task was absolutely useless. The subejct matter they were after on the bloody thing was exactly was exactly the same as writing out a page of very simple TQE, but no, we had to make it pretty, and if we didn't, we'd go shit in the task. 'nough said! I mean it's an art-based assessment. The people good at artistic stuff like that would pwn it. What if they asked us to write a song in English? Music is a subject, just like art is...and the people who are good at writing music would obviously go better than people who aren't good at it. It's the same god damn thing, but most of all, it's just as freaking useless!
...and what about the ever faithful study period. We spend a whole day working at school, and study is the one opportunity during the day to be able to do nothing (besides the obvious recess and lunch) and have a bit of a break from work, cill out, listen to some music, work on something at your own pace, and if you do all these things, it's a big slap on the wrist. "no no no study periods are time for study!" pfft. That's almost as bad as saying socialising on a tuesday afternoon is prohibited, even though it's one time we have that everyone has some spare time so seeing friends then is optimal...
O well, we'll manage to get through it somehow, but it'll just suck.
I'll leave you with these lyrics becaue I like them, and they aren't too relevant but they portray the mood pretty sick.
Black Label Society - 13 years of grief
\You're so fuckin' tough, so motherfuckin' bad
13 years of grief is all your folks ever had
Just an ignorant cunt, talkin' such shit
Tryin to act like a man, you little fuckin' punk kid
[CHORUS]
Yeah
Son, look at you now
Yeah
Son, look at you now
Day of court, day of fear, in walks the judge
Half a year nothing less, no he wouldn't budge
Hand over your belongings and your motherfuckin' soul
That's the joy of life, six months in the hole
[Chorus]
You raped your mother, yeah you beat her down
Jesus can't protect you when your brain is unfound
Once so fuckin' tough, so motherfuckin' bad
13 years of grief is all your folks ever had
[Chorus]
