A rant: If everyone has "my best interest at heart," then why am I getting jipped?
ok, can i just express how sucky and childish adults can be?
i thought that i had had all this school stuff figured out. i was going to be in seconde, end of story. then the vice principal calls me into her office, and tells me that she wants to put me in première. again. she gives me all these reasons why: higher spanish, no science, more advanced and therefore interesting econ classes. meanwhile, i KNOW that mr trenchant and mrs eynon (the directors of the program im doing) want me to be in seconde, because i wont die from all the difficult work. the case is this: i can always do spanish over the summer, ill have to take 3 years of science anyway for a grad requirement, so i might as well take it now rather than wait, and that ive never taken econ before, so more advanced classes could very well be almost impossible for me. i tell her that i would like to stay in seconde. she says "well, thats not good, thats a bad idea." stupid butthead (i dont like to swear). but she says its my choice, and yet she is like "well, tahts a bad choice. i dont think thats a good idea." IVE HEARD WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! YOU'VE MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR! gaaaaaah. and she wants my parents to call her. so, hopefully, they will. but tomorrow, im meeting mr trenchant at the lycée to explain to the principal with him that i should be in seconde. on his "suggestion" (one inch shy short of a demand). i dont know if thats where i should be. the vice principal told me that i could try a week of première, and if i didnt like it, then i could switch back to seconde. id like to do that, but mr trenchant said that if i did that, and i didnt like première, i couldnt switch back, because it would be too far in the school year. i honestly dont know where i wanna be. i really like both classes, maybe the première a little more, but even if i choose seconde, ill still see première friends at lunch and stuff. i just wish that they would stop trying to move me around, and let me continue with the stupid school year. its my year, not theirs. its my stupid choice what level i wanna be in. seconde would be easier. id wouldnt die of work. but the arguement that mr trenchant used to try to get my to choose seconde the first time was soooo self absorbed that it kinda made me jaw drop: he was like, "oh, well, if you dont do well, and you had a bad time, who are your parents going to blame? me." first of all, they wouldnt blame him. they know very well that im the one making the choice. and not him. second of all, they dont really care about how well i do here (as long as i pass) because its in french!!! third of all, my ego is so big that i wouldnt let myself not do well. i just when know where i am, and have all these stupid little interruptions.
wow. so, ill probably end up in seconde. if theres anyone question after that, i will calmly explain that i WILL stay in seconde, and thats that.
wow, that felt soooooo good to get off my chest (it would have felt better to swear, but im better than that :-) )
Please pray/send happy vibes/do what ever it is that you do, because this year isnt supposed to be so complicated. i am having fun, but this kinda stuff brings it down. rah.
Peace and Happiness to all,
