I'm addicted to the Sims....but it's reallly frustrating. everyone dies. o.O
hello.
I have not written in a while but I felt that this was necessary to share.
I am an excellent bullshitter. Like no joke. My 8 years in the honors/AP system has prepared me for what I like to call the BS Olympics
First example:
just ten minutes ago I stepped out of my last class entitled "Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings". Oh yes, I had a class that was about our former wig-wearing president and his slave lover.
Let's just set a few things straight.
I did not read the book.
I did not intend to read the book.
I went to about 4 or 5 classes at the most.
And didn't see the study guide until now.
(I'm not trying to brag, I actually find it incredibly sad how unmotivated I am with school).
So.
My final consisted of 3 terms, 3 short answers, and an essay.
I did not know one single item on this test.
not that I assumed or even thought I would know. But I kind of thought it would be a little basic like "Who is Sally Hemings?"
instead I had to identify Tugahoe and Peter Hemings. ( I chose not to answer the first one, because I felt that I could not honestly give him an answer that would not make him blush or threaten to fail me).
I also had to short answer these other questions, but those aren't important to me.
Oh no.
what's important in this story is the fact that the essay, which asked me to detail what Thomas Jefferson might say to the modern American public if he was to address the subject of Sally Hemings.
Yea he just asked me to write a piece,on which hypothetically we get Thomas J back to life and force him to answer sex questions.
needless to say I was amused.
My essay, or short story if you will, consisted of me detailing the cryogenic procedure in which we would have to endure to revive Thomas "the Jeff" Jefferson. I then state that it would take him no less than 6-8 months to recupurate and become up to speed with our modern society. Regarding the fact that he was dead for like...ever. (no need to cite sources on this fact I believe), I explained that he would probably have low motorbility functions and would not be a high functioning member of society. But in this special case I would allow myself to move past that small detail and pretend, just for the sake of argument, that he was the same ol' TJ his family loved him as.
So I continue in saying that the interview would be broadcasted online, be taken by Katie Couric, and that Tom would have dressed for the occassion in his new modern haircut. Anyway the rest of the essay is filled with dramatic pauses, intense music, and excellent journalistic skillz on Katie's part, And it all ends with a single tear running down Jefferson's cheek as he pleads to America to forgive him.
So. What is wrong with this essay? you might ask
What could possibly be wrong with this amazing masterpiece of a final? you may wonder
well I kind of portrayed him as a sneaky politician dick. not the best idea when your teacher has a major man crush on a revered dead man.
I also included little to no actual information in my essay, although three pages long, and I feel like I could have included a few vocab words.
But nevertheless, I hope that whilst my professor might read this, he might smile, or chucke as he marks with his judgemental red pen on my paper, and that he thinks back to a time in which he was 19, and he did not like waking up before 9 am in order to go to a class which carried no importance to him at all.
That is all, and I hope everyone has an amazing weekend, because I have a video game final in aboutttt 1.5 hours. I'd study but if I think about that class I get giddy because my professor is kind of a hottie.
G'bye!
Oh dang I should have used Anderson Cooper and filled my essay with sexual tension.
damn.
next time buddy.
next. time.
