Oh JOY
Today, in 2nd Period Social Studies, I was forced to go sit in a small room and listen to one of the PE teachers go on and on about old Ford cars, and how Ford was awesome, and how the Model T is awesome. Sure, it was nice and interesting for the first 10 minutes, but then he started getting into the entire how-the-engine-works speech, which required prior knowledge about mechanics and automobile designing, which none of us had, which just got old. Then, we watched a video, where the narrorator repeated everything the previous speaker had said, only in a more snazzy-sounding vocabulary. To sum it all up, our teachers made us pick up our 20 lb. backpacks, head out into the blazing sun of cloudless California, stand around one of the cars this speaker guy took 40 years to restore entirely. Alright. So he repeated everything he said, AGAIN, only with a car in front of us. A cool looking car, but an incredibley boring car. Making the speech boring. Which, *amazingly*, made the entire 1 1/2 hours boring. *GASP!*. It wouldn't of been so bad if we weren't standing there with 20 lb. packbacks on in the blazing sun for 30 minutes. But we did. Which made it, in fact, pretty bad. Joy<3
I hate the teacher that made us do that. And I have her twice a day.
And, oh no. She decided she not only wanted to make me stand out there once, but TWICE that day! Oh yes, she decided that she wanted to drag out her 6th period Language Arts class, which I also have this teacherofJOY for, and make us listen to the SAMEDAMNSPEECH all OVER AGAIN! As if it wasn't boring enough in the first place! At least, the first time I heard it, I didn't expect what he was going to say next! (Until he started to repeat himself.) AT LEAST THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THE FIRST MEETING HAD SUSPENSE!
Alright, I'm all for the whole express-what-you-do thing. I mean, if you want to go out and educate people about what you're interested in, especially if it's different, like restoring old Model T Fords, then more power to you. But please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, express it to someone who VOLUNTEERS to listen to you talk! NOT SUNBURNED, IMPATIENT, CARRYINGLOTSOFWEIGHTSONOURBACKS 8TH GRADERS! And, if you decide you want to do a full 1 1/2 hours of it, SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR THE LAST 1 HOUR AND 20 MINUTES!
Sorry for my blunt shoulder, but it hasn't been the best week for me. I'm getting a lot of crude remarks from kids, guys and girls alike, at school. YesI'mafreak, but is it so important to announce it hourly?
Of course, I could be imagining it all. Either that, or I'm just making this more dramatic than it has to be. Since I do that a lot.
Drama. Dramadramadrama.
Oh yeah. Two rantagey-goodness in one post. New record. Oh. What now.
