And to continue on with the random noises theme... ARGGGGGG...
I'm sick. And as such somewhat bitter. Although that might be caused by being tired and thus in a contemplative frame of mind. At the moment I'm thinking that school sucks.
Why oh why am I looking foreword to University then?
Let's reprase that, high school sucks.
I'm in a bit of a funk because, dammit, I've had enough. Enough of a full days of work including over an hour in a room whose carbon-dioxide levels are so high they wouldn't submit animals to these conditions. Enough of ten tests in two weeks for four classes (did I mention that I also have a test tomorrow, too?). Enough moron's taking away from my chance to learn by talking in class. Enough of people who don;t understand the subject matter, especially those people who I help on a regular basis, getting higher marks than me.
That last one especially pisses me off. It's not so much that I'm displeased with my marks, my marks are great! I have no problems with them. I do, however, have problems with people getting high marks who I can easily tell don't understand the subject matter as well as I do. I have helped many of the people who won academic awards, in the subject they got the award. I got the second lowest mark in my latin class, and I'm usually the one who figures out what's going on first. What really annoys me is that I KNOW that student A got 100% at mid-terms and she always goes over the translations with Magistra before handing them in. Also "I don't get it" is oft heard to grace her lips. It just seems WRONG!!! I almost never go over my translations with her unless there's a specific phrase that I couldn't get, and even them sometimes I guess instead because I don't think it's necessary to take up Magistra's time like that. Part of learning is figuring it out on your own instead of always being told.
I really hate it when people get more credit than is their due, because that is one of the main reasons that this mark inflation is going to kill so many students when they get to University.
YARGGGG....
