Half Way Through The Week

WAKE UP!!!
I wish someone would shout. But no one will. I sit at my desk in Computer Technology, beginning to doze as I have completed most of the work. I feel as if my eyes are open, yet when my brain tells my eyelids to move I find that they have indeed been closed the entire time. Note to self, don't go to bed late, only to awaken early. Yeah I keep telling myself that, it will never work.

Well typical life of a teenager, and there's also the fact that school starts much too early for my liking. I mean come on, I have to board my bus by 6:37-ish in the morning, arrive at school by 7, chill with friends, cram for tests, all until 7:30. That's when the bell rings, signaling the beginning of a day filled with work. Now I wouldn't mind it at all; if only teachers could make it interesting. Would teaching a class while hiking be so bad? Let us sit on the floor as opposed to the cold hard desks; constantly shifting as we try to find the most comfortable position. Let us talk amongst each other, it's how I retain information. Joking about the prospect being brought up in class, arguing as we decide what the subject truly means, or just overall enjoying the topic.

Teachers tell us to be quiet by the end of the day, to "shut up and sit still!". How are we to do this, when that's what we have been doing all day? "Don't you guys have P.E?!" I have heard many teachers inquire. Yes, for 2 quarters out of 4. Some of us take it online so as to have more time to do the arduous homework for our core classes. Just as an FYI, we do have other classes; anyone else feel me? I feel as if my science teacher gives me two hours of homework because they think I don't take any other classes, just straight up science. Then my math teacher gives me an hour, ignorant of the science homework. Let's not forget I have to study 200 words for a 20 question vocabulary test for AP! Then again, I chose the classes I have. So I gotta take what I dish out.

Wow, sorry about that rant. It's just that CRTs are coming up. Oh excuse me, SAGE testing is coming up. Such a pretty name for such a hateful topic. To top that off, I still have a bunch of exams coming up during the testing. I mean no offense to anyone out there!! Especially my teachers! I love all the classes I take ––– true story. No truly! I enjoy school, and the prospect of learning. Ok, go ahead call me a nerd, although I'm pretty sure you would be using the word incorrectly.

Nerd

a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious

I'm not too boring! (I hope) I wouldn't really know considering I've never actually met myself. But yes, school can be a ton of fun. And I am fortunate to even be attending school. My class & I are reading Romeo & Juliet in class, it states that girls at around the age of thirteen are getting married and having children. Juliet herself is only turning fourteen and her parents would like her to think about the prospect of getting married. I am indeed very fortunate that I am not in that situation. 

So I just reread the description of my blog, yeah it doesn't really coincide does it? I apologize. Umm...Well I hate to do this, but here is a picture I drew recently. I noticed that it said I would post some of my own art, I don't even know what I was thinking when I said that. Some feedback would be nice, anything that I can improve on. Please don't feel the need to give compliments; it is something that we are forced to do, especially as society sees fit. I want actual feedback! Please critique! (That's if I have any readers however....hmmm I may have a dilema)

So I Have My Craptastic Art Days
