school

I am ready to graduate high school.
like now. please.

I am sitting in a Music Tech class because I needed a PE credit. and my tennis teacher, eager to please, was kind enough to let me come into this class and receive a PE credit because I "plan to continue studying music".
Which is code for there is no way in hell that I am going to change my clothes everyday and sweat my ass off chasing a ball around a court so that I can GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL.
how one does with other, I have no idea.

I do not need to know how to hit a ball with a racket in order to be adequately prepared for a higher education. PE is most definitely an outdated, unnecessary concept that needs to be reevaluated. If only someone would listen to us teenagers

*There is a kid in front of me who is known in school for his his hilarious personality and adequate 'scremo' ability actually a really sweet kid, who is CHOMPING and SLURPING on god knows what. and its really irritating me, but of course I'll stay quiet and pretend that he is not masticating an animal right in front of me.*

anyway back to school, and its fossilized classes and theories.
We are forced to take a language course, a computer course, PE, Health and so on.

First off, if I don't want to learn to speak a foreign language I shouldn't be forced to. and if you are going to force us than it should be more than two courses. Because seriously how far am I going to get in life by knowing how to say that I am tall and have brown hair in broken Spanglish. I'll tell you, just as far as I would have gotten had I not taken the stupid class.

Secondly being forced to take a computers class in this day of age is even more of a waste of time. My generation can run circles around those that teach us, making it almost impossible to respect the teachers that swear we don't know how to write business letters. we do.

AND LASTLY: health.

I know about STD's. hell the kids to my left and right have probably had them all and can recommend the most aggressive and productive treatment.
And you can tell us to "eat healthy" and "exercise daily" but find me a teenager who will pick carrots and a treadmill over brownies and Facebook. you wont.

SO I guess what I am sayng is that many aspects of high school are big waste of time and I am ready to graduate.
In my own opinion of course.

+ i can check two more things off of my checklist.
I went camping. in my friends backyard. It was so much fun actually, we didn't have to use recreational drugs or sip on any grey goose, we had good, traditional, cute fun :D

and the second was surprise someone with my intelligence, a friend read my blog (!) and was impressed by my writing ability. thanksss for reading :)
