Bull Hunkey.
I signed up for junior year classes tonight. And I'm scared spitless.
I don't know if I can handel AP Bradfield AND CP Graziano AND AP Online with everything else without losing my mind. Everything else being along the lines of band, orchestra, vocal, show choir, piano, debate, and drama. And other classes. Catherine does alright, but I hardly think that means I will.
I'm tired just thinking about it. I can barely keep up with my classes being gone every weekend as it is. What's going to happen once I actually get into some worthwhile classes?
Speaking of the worth of my classes, I had a tiny confrontation with Mr. Hanson (history) today. Descartes was in our last chapter. We learned ONE SENTENCE about Descartes. I think, therefore I am is all we needed to know for the test, so thats all we learned. I asked, very sweetly, if we could diverge from the book for one day. One fucking day out of 180. I understand that it's semester and it's not a good time, but honestly. It's just a suggestion for future reference. Take ONE THING from the book and expand on it. Learn something besides a fact that gets repeated verbatim on the test. No, no that would be too much work. His only response was to bitch about the conditions he has to teach under.
He asked me once for suggestions on how he could enrich his class. Before I suggested anything he made sure that I understood nothing would change. He's too set in his ways, and it's too late to change now. Sure, Mr. Hanson.
How am I supposed to learn when they make it so damn hard?
I just don't understand. All I want to do is know. Just know the who and the when and the why of the world. I just want to know.
