Today Sucked!
It's official. Today sucked worse than yesterday, or the day before, or any other day for a long long time. My mother thinks my senioritis has just now set in. I don't know if that's the case or not.
Okay--to the day. Got up, got to school on time, didn't have my music for band so I borrowed some. Calc was confusing but okay. I had to run home to get my chemistry at lunch, because I had taken it out of my backpack and forgotten to put it back in. I also thought I had done my assignment before the break (because the current assignment and the one before it both started with the same problem) but I hadn't so for the first time all year I didn't turn my homework in. Advanced Biology... actually to be honest it wasn't so bad. We had a quiz over protein purification and did a little research on our science fair projects.
Now to what made today suck. After class the teacher pulled me aside and talked to me for a little while about dropping the class. She was obviously distraught, which made me feel a little guilty, because we essentially have been making fun of her behind her back as a joke. We're half serious, but it isn't her fault. No one else with her level of knowledge of the subject could teach it any better than she... it's just that I don't think a teacher who is unqualified should teach a subject. Let me give a little background on the teacher. She's extremely nice and very effervescent... obviously one of those "Let's save the world!" sort of teachers. It's just that her teaching style is ineffective for some people, and I am one of those people. In code, she is Nqt. Boupojpmj. But it's not her that's the problem.
Anyway... what she said is that I'm essentially at the root of the negativity of the class and that if I don't like the class, I should drop it at semester. She also said that I was really rude to her once when she had asked me (during lunch, when I was in senior corner) if I needed any help with my science fair project... I was probably a little short and said no and turned around to start conversing again, but for the record, I had already written no on a form specifically for that purpose.
Which made me question if colleges would care if I dropped it... which made me start to think about school and realize that I'm becoming antiestablishment. I can't stand busy work... since I want to be taking all my classes, advanced biology just doesn't fit in. I'm realizing that as long as I want to be doing something, the work associated with it is okay, but if I don't want to be doing something, I can't stand having to do stupid busy work or such. Grr...
This led me to thinking that I don't want to do music at all. We'll see, but I don't think I'm going to major or minor in music. More to come later tonight.
