*sigh*
Just as a warning.... this might be slightly... whiny.
I am SO SICK of Lexington. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my best friends here more than anything, and I'm going to miss them a LOT.. but there is so much here that I can't wait to get away from. Namely, Mr. Calloway. I know it's wrong, but I really HATE him. I don't know, maybe hate's too strong a word, but I can't stand him. Every time I see him either in the hallway or in the classroom I'm so tempted to just start screaming at him EXACTLY what I think of him. He's one of, if not the, biggest hypocrites I've ever known. I've never seen someone with half a conscience who can be all "Yay Jesus" in church, then hit on girls and cuss at students and turn into a complete ASSHOLE everywhere else. I'm so sick of his attitude, his double standards, his freaking POUNDING THE LIFE out of that poor piano every single day, his INTENTIONALLY trying to manipulate girls to do things so he can say "You were flirting with me!" I'm sorry, but what teenage girl in her right mind would WANT to flirt with a 50-something year old perverted man? No thank you. There isn't one thing that comes out of his mouth that I don't come up with some comeback to, and not one of them is nice. I wish it wasn't like that, but it's hard for me to help it. I've dealt with his crap for 4 years and I am SICK of it... it's only gotten worse since I was a sophomore... I didn't notice it as a freshman.
Another thing... I just LOVE it when teachers tell you about a test the night before... then the day of the test, they tell you you're having ANOTHER test the next day. I don't care IF they postpone it until the following day- that's just not right. It's not that I'm worried about the class... I mean it's AP Music Theory for crying out loud- I have a 98 in there. I GET what we're doing. But I like a LITTLE more time to plan out how and when I'm going to study for things than a night... it's common courtesy. I understand that she has a lot to cover, but it wouldn't have killed her to give us a bit more warning... but at least she's better than the theory teacher Lexington has. It's nothing against Dr. Moskovitz- honestly, I really do love the woman- she's a great lady (aside from her smoking/drinking habits) and a great teacher... but I think she's getting a little too into this "be more than prepared for the exam" thing. And English is worse... ever since AP got tacked onto the title, it's gotten harder... poetry responses are enough (more than enough) without having to do reading journals for 450 page books (or however long that stupid book is... over 400 pages, I know that). This is the first time in the whole class that I actually haven't read past chapter 5 (and there's 20 chapters). That's horrible I know... but when you think about how much we've read in there... and this is our 3rd realllllly long book... two more to go, and neither of them are this long. Unfortunately, our next one also involves incest. *sigh* but then again, WHAT, might I ask, in English 5 DOESN'T involve death and/or sex? Hm? I love Mrs. Honeycutt, too, and I understand that she has to prepare us for the exam, but WHY do exam people find sex and death so blasted appealing?? It's depressing. And I won't even bother getting into government bc it's just more of the same... but at least Mrs. Crews TRIES to be more understanding... seriously, she's probably my favorite teacher right now. Not to mention the fact that she knew me when I was 3... she told me today that when I used to do Mother's Morning Out at Saxe Gotha as a toddler, she used to be one of the teachers in my class... or whatever that thing was- I guess it's hard to call a bunch of 3 year olds in a room while their moms had a chance to get away a CLASS... but she said she remembered how my hair was nothing but curls back then and I used to sit on her lap all the time.... which sounds exactly like how I used to be (so I've heard) as a 3 year old. So... I thought that was cute.
On a good note... I got the Narnia soundtrack this week, and I'm basically obsessed with it. It's one of the few things that's managed to keep me sane. I don't understand- this week was supposed to be LESS stressful... not more. I'm so sick of coming home in a bad mood everyday bc I'm stressed... not to mention the fact that having Chamber Choir 4th block does NOTHING to improve my already crabby mood. and.. to anyone who's actually read all of this- I'm sorry I've been such a grumpy gills lately. I don't think I've ever been this stressed out before- I hate it. I'm usually so much happier than this; I prefer being happier than this... I'm just ready to graduate and move on with my life. At this point, I don't even CARE where exactly I'm going to college... KNOWING where that ends up being will be enough.
Anyway. I'm gonna wrap it up now bc I've vented for far too long... but I needed to get that out.
