I'm sitting here with my sisters all on different laptops all of us doing different things... it's pretty funny / interesting to see how driven we are by technologoy. This is how we bond.
Instead of working on something I should be working on I'm actually just sitting here relaxing and not trying to worry about it. I've been getting stressed induced pimples... it's pretty frustrating.
Reading Sophie's World has taught me more then what Mr. Schmidt has taught us in the past three months. It bothers me at how he doesn't really push us enough to think for ourselves... I mean he does tell us to think, but he believes that everyone is born with the capability of thinking the way he does. I feel too close to the rabbit and it bothers me a lot. I'm trying to climb up there to feel what it feels like to touch the creator of the Universe... or the nothingness, but I feel like it'll take a while.
I was talking to Mark about teachers at Langstaff and how there are a limited amount of good teachers. There is a huge difference between a good teacher, a bad teacher and a teacher who has a nice personality that is easy to bond with. One of the three teachers I have this semester is a good teacher, the other two have nice personalities but not so much teaching skills. All three of them lack the ability to motivate. I don't believe I'm being judgemental considering they are my teachers and this is how I feel, and I do believe that this is the truth. Why am I even thinking about this? I really don't know... maybe because I've been trying to find inspiration and motivation from others but I feel as if I have to find it on my own. I don't think I'm ready yet.
