Life is what you make of it
I hate school. It is an enormous waste of my time. And, It's one of society's biggest mistakes. One of the biggest misconceptions about school is that its for learning. That's not true. While I can't say that I haven't learned ANYTHING in high school, the real point of it is to make you a better employee and drone. It trains you not to question authority, but to carry out orders mindlessly and support the government's actions. I wish the brainwashing would stop. You don't learn by sitting in dirty, stuffy classrooms listening to some stiff-necked reptilian teacher lecture you. Learning comes from the world, from experiences, from interesting people and from travel. I am feeling frustrated with life right now. This is NO way to spend a childhood, and I already feel like most of it is already wasted. All that time where I could have been outside with my friends exploring the world, instead I am stuck inside a dark room looking at it through the window. and this goes on all day, all week. It makes me want to cry. It seems as if I've missed out on experiences with my friends as the best years of my life are wasting away...
Don't worry, I'm not turning into an emo kid. I never will, that's not me. I just feel that I could be a much more knowledgable, much more talented, much more interesting person. I can't put the blame on school. Life is what you make of it. I feel like I could be doing something worthwhile. In a way, I feel like I'm having an identity crisis.
As many of you know, I homeschooled during 8th grade. Well, more accurately, i UNschooled. It was a pretty good year, overall. I was in drama productions in GP, worked at the dome school, got into a blacksmithing apprenticeship... But, the reason i came back in 9th wasn't because I hated the fact I had been having so much freedom. During that year, my social life took a tragic nosedive, and I returned to school in hopes of patching it up. It hasn't been the same since, but i think i might be getting back on track again. Unschooling WAS nice, but I was very limited in my ability to get around. I probably spent too much time at home, because I couldn't find transportation. It's a long drive to get to anything interesting from this valley we live in. Now that i can drive and have a car it might be a different experience. Can't wait to get out of this fucking backwater town. Don't get me wrong, I love takilma, and all the hippies, but i can't wait to go somewhere that actually has opportunity and is active, for gods sake...
Can't wait for the 4-day weekend... -_-
Peace Out, homies...
