Relief is a beautiful thing
How perfect
-Just get home, from home, after a strange little date. Fun none-the-less.
-Plop down in my good ol' faithful chair to do some good ol' fashioned homework.
-Flip open the book and start plugging away...
Glance up...hmmm Aleta is on. Should I? Should I not? Should I? (Goes on for another 10 minutes) I just said screw it and IMed her. Told her that Alissa and I had been chatting and we actually shared a few words for once! It was relieving knowing that she doesn't hate my guts. I've heard this before but didn't believe it in the least. I really need to explain why, how, and whom - it is closer we both need. Plus she is awsome - It'd be nice to still be friends after all is said and done.
Anyhow not much else that I care to think about happened today.
Hah except I saw lowery happier then I've EVER seen him before in my life. He found a new tool for teaching and the teacher in him has broken free. I didn't believe he had one.
OH! Big news! Sensei is going down! I talked to Ryan....Hmmm forget his last name, but Justin's brother. Anyways poor fella is being put under CRITICAL review in Inoue's class. Inoue is also under critical review, tomarrow all the TA's, Ryan, Sensei, and a few other "snitchs" are gathering in a room try and get it all in the open the corruption that goes on in that class. This time I don't think Inoue's career will last...the staff/school board has evidence that the kids are bribing sensei to get better grades, even altering the grades themselves. Also I hear "proof of his angry nature" is on hold. Sad, but exciting at the same time.
This is interesting for me because I spent 2 years in Sensei's class. My freshman and sophmore year (Jap1/2). Point being I saw the corruption from the very first year, even used it (ahem...I AM sadistic bastard) to get an A instead of an F. I will not explain the annoying details..but it wasn't cheating, just bending of the rules. None of it was my fault either, sensei was purely to blame aswell as the power-hungry TA's. Anyways, last year I saw the corruption rise and peak. I said I've got my 2 years of language I'm bailing. I almost took Jap3 though. Thank god I didn't. I hear horror stories about grades/sensei explosions in that class.
I had a gut feeling last year that said get out! If you don't you wont make it through another year. It was fun while it lasted though, I'll remember the antics of George Bush for the rest of my life (the actual kid going to kamiak...duh)
Anyways...I feel for Sensei it's not really his direct fault...he is a product of his kindness. Sensei holds everything in, he is the nicest guy in the world but the kids REALLY annoy the SH** out of him with jokes and comments. I've seen him go from handing out his lunch to breaking a table over a desk then kicking in a wall. Yet still I'd vouch for his kindness anytime...2 words though Anger-Management!
Anyhow I'm off, hw to finish...I'll be up late again, ugh.
