Sigh. I'm pretty sure I'm officially miserable, school-wise.
I pretty much just listen to music and draw during the hippie class these days. Today I drew a snowman and wrote the lyrics (as I remember them lol) to 'Frosty the Snowman' in a sort of insane way:
Frosty the Snowman!
Was a jolly, happy soul!
With a corncob pipe and a button nose!
And two eyes made out of coal!
Oh!
Frosty the Snowman!...
Today's only saving grace was that we were talking about "A Scandal in Bohemia." So I actually spoke a little about how much I like the Holmes stories that kind of show him as a person, like when Watson gets shot and those times he does drugs and when he makes his big return, those kinds of things. Anyway, so that girl that annoys the HELL out of me, the one who makes self-righteous little noises in her throat at regular intervals to let us know how smart she is (WHEN SHE'S REALLY A PATHETIC LITTLE TWITCHY CREEPY LITTLE CHIHUAHUA-PERSON) tells us she's had a REVELATION (exact word she used) during the freewriting bullshit. So of course she has to contaminate even my most happy mindspace: she goes 'House is based on Holmes.' WELL, NO SHIT ~*~SHERLOCK~*~. Guh. Why'd she have to know who House is? House is mine, okay. Only I (and you guys) can have him. Now when I fantasize about him doing lewd things to Wilson during that class, I'll feel like the chihuahua person KNOWS. Which is like the grossest thought ever, lol.
Anyway, I need a little help. The hippie teacher wants us to do a project, but she refuses to assign it. Like. No kidding. She told us to turn in a paragraph about what we each WANT to do for 20% of the grade. (Is it just me, or this a lapse in the teacher-student dynamic?) So I have literally no idea what to do because I DON'T CARE. I just want to be assigned something, I'll do a mediocre job on it but present it in such a way that the hippie teacher will think it's gold. Does anyone have ANY ideas? I don't know what to do yet. It has to have something to do with British Literature, I guess (though most of the time the class discusses pop culture while I sit there and slowly go insane; today I was able to work that show Captain Planet into the discussion, lol). It could be related to Holmes or maybe Frankenstein, since those are the only two works we did that I can remember (or CARE) anything about, lol.
I'd like to do something that contains a subtle bitchslap to the class; I did that in high school all the time (and since I'm back IN high school...sigh). I'm seriously, seriously thinking about showing the slash potential between Holmes and Watson (PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS, AM I RIGHT?) but how do you turn something like that into a project? And how does hippie teacher plan on grading ANY of these with no baseline assignment???? What if I work my ass off on a thought-out presentation (LOL FAT CHANCE) and the chihuahua person brings in like a posterboard with unicorn stickers and glitter and such and we get the same grade??
Help help?
