everyone is just surrounded in absolute ridiculousness. EVERYTHING is a joke.
for example.
im going to birmingham this weekend and my aunt and uncle invited the entire team over to their house for a cookout. i asked my coach and he said "we can go but they should make pasta". YES. PLEASE LET ME CALL MY RELATIVES THAT OFFERED UP THEIR HOME FOR AN EVENING TO TWELVE TEENAGE GIRLS AND THEIR PARENTS AND ASK THEM TO MAKE LASAGNA FOR TWENTY PEOPLE. are you kidding me. i understand the whole "carb-loading" idea, thanks, but there is a time and a place for that. you'd just take us to some nasty buffet anyway and everyone would get something grosser than hamburgers there, because EVERYTHING at some buffets is greasier than homemade hamburgers, so why dont we just cookout for free?
HEY THEN AP GOVERNMENT IS A COMPLETE HOAX. so this entire year, government has practically been a review of 4th grade government. judicial brance, separation of powers, direct election of senators, blahblahblah. my teacher. sucks at teaching. but it has never mattered really, until this chapter, when there is actually stuff that isn't common knowledge. SO NOW! HE DECIDES! he is too lazy to teach it, and makes us read the chapter and teach to the class. and doesn't listen to our projects to see if we're right or not. and then will randomly start paying attention and interject a "I DONT THINK YOU EXPLAINED THAT ENOUGH." are you kidding me? who is the college graduate here? we have no idea what the hell we're doing. OUR GOVERNMENT BOOK HAS A WOLF ON THE FRONT OF IT. HOW IS THAT EVEN RELEVANT. THAT SHOULD SHOW YOU HOW USEFUL THE BOOK IS. and ALL of our grades are in multiples of 100 because he can't handle any other number. for example, these quizzes that we take on current event magazines that we never discuss or go over or anything that we MIGHT actually learn from, there are like 5 questions, so if you miss one you get an 80, and that is worth 200 points. so i have a B, because most of our grades are stupid things like that. a B would be fine in AP Calculus. (incidentally, i have an A in calc. this is why i have license to complain about having b's in government and photo. because i have no idea what the hell i'm doing in calculus and somehow luck out on the test. people say you can't bs calculus, but i have proved them wrong. but if i did have a B in calc...ITS CALCULUS. and the grades come from normal things like tests and homework and quizzes) but this is ap gov. mr. vandemortel's ap gov, which is equivalent to elementary school government, MINUS THE SENSIBILITY OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER.
HEY AND THEN I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE PHOTO. i dont know if i've mentioned it before in here, but ap photography has completely ruined and sort of love i may have ever had for the art of photography. i have a B in PHOTO. i dont even think that i can write everything i despise about photo because it would just take up too much space. this class has completely sucked the pleasure out of taking and developing pictures. i've had to start bringing my ipod so that i don't start screaming and cursing at my teacher, and so that i can stay calm during long exposure times that NEVER work. i have FOUR portfolios that i am working on now. dear mr c, i am not a photo major. i have 3 other ap classes, 2 other honors classes, and i play on a travel volleyball team. i.do.not.have.the.time.to.take.a.roll.of.film.every.day. on my last portfolio i got a C because my pictures had scratches on them. ALL OF OUR EQIPMENT IS TOO BROKEN TO CLEAN MY NEGATIVES. i ran them through the fix. and the photoflo. and the 'scratch-away'. and the cloth cleaner. the scratches were still there. then i fixed them all with spot pens, so you could only see them if you looked really closely, and since we're taking slides of these pictures anyway he said he wouldn't count off for scratches you couldn't see at an arm's length away. but then he did. it's probably because i told him that i was giving up his class for Lent and there's was nothing he could do because it was for religious reasons.
also. is it normal for me to purposely not do my calculus homework on some days so that i can do it during lunch, thus withdrawing myself from my table's conversation? on the days that i don't save homework for lunch, i switch between like four tables because i really can only take each one for so long. then on ap bio test and lab days i become really popular because i'm the ap bio aide and i took the class last year. hahahah and they all assume i know what i'm talking about.
and i DONT want to go to prom and i DONT want to go to the senior luau. the senior luau is ten bucks. i should probably just go to a movie. rather than hang out in the park with 450 other people surrounded by fake grass decorations. the otehr day my team was talking to my coach about tournaments on the days of different school's proms. everyone was all worried that they wouldn't be able to go to their prom. i said "do we have a tournment on april 23rd? because i really wouldn't lose sleep over not going to my prom". incidentally, we do have a tournament, but it's small and my coach isn't expecting any of the girl from my school to be there. but it's going to suck. i won't have a date, because i cannot for the life of me think of anyone i would even want to go with. so i'll end up doing the same thing as last year, and the air conditioning will probably be broken again, and i'll have to go around enduring/participating in the OMG I LOVE YOUR DRESS!!! AW THANKS YOUR HAIR IS SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!! and then i'll go to postprom and it will be okay but nothing to write home about and then i'll probably go get drunk OH WAIT no i'll probably go home and go to sleep by midnight. my friend works at godiva so i get free chcolate and just now i had one with a bit of champagne in it, so maybe if i eat A WHOLE LOT OF THOSE I CAN GET TIPSY AND JOIN IN ON THE FESTIVITIES. and i'll have spent all that money on a dress and shoes and hair, which will be the only part i will enjoy anyway.
i'm sick of complaining. but i could continue on for a very long time. it has not been a bad week. it has just been a ridiculously ridiculous week.
