fuck the system.
soo the other day in history, mrs dacles read off the names of people who were exempt from the exam. my name was not called. apparently i'm on the list of people who can't be exempt. i didn't think that was right, because i don't have too many absences (surprisingly) and i've had a perfect A in that class all year. so i talked to sister jeanne, and the list is for lates and missing homeroom and crap. apparently i missed homeroom 32 times. half of them are days that i was in school the rest of the day but just missed homeroom. the only reason i was late was because i was sick. not because i was lazy. so she was like yea, its not a mistake, you're supposed to be on there. and she goes on to tell me that even though right now it sounds like a punishment that i can't be exempt, the whole point of exemption is to be as a reward for being on time and good attendance and shit. well i'm sorry i missed homeroom a few times. i'm sorry i was late because i couldn't fucking move to get out of bed because of the pain. its not my fault i was sick and yet i'm getting screwed over because of it. the ironic thing is, if i had done what my doctor told me to do and gone on bedside for a while, my absences wouldn't have counted as absences. when i came back to school i technically still wasn't supposed to be there. the fact that i was sick is really coming back to bite me and i don't think its fair what they're doing. and my art history exemption might be taken away too. because mr lanni wasn't following the list but when i was talking to sister jeanne she said he had to, so now that might get messed up. the whole system is just stupid. i have perfect beautiful grades in those classes, yet i'm being penalized because i wasn't in fucking homeroom. what the hell does homeroom matter anyway? i have good grades and attendance in both those classes, so why the hell should it matter if i was in homeroom? they should be basing the exemptions more on grades than anything else. and you'd think maybe in my situation they could make an exception, because they know i was only late because i was sick. BUT NO. "an absence is an absence" is what i get. fucking bullshit. i dunno. the whole thing just pisses me off to no end. i'm putting up with more crap than i care to endure and i'm really getting sick of it. URRRRGGGGGHH.
