Stressed and depressed.... and some random

Ughh.
Did you notice that I haven’t blogged at all this week? Yeah, well that means I have to for everyday the rest of this week, which will probably be a very stressful task. I’ve spent this entire week doing a mixture of review before midterm exams, learning last minute new material, and recovering from everything I missed last week. Mostly the third thing. I stay have to stay at school till four tomorrow for tutoring so that I can make up two quizzes that I missed, biology and Spanish. I also have to take one during the day that I missed in math class. I hate school. I think I’ve said this probably a million times, and I probably sound like a really dumb person. I’m not dumb, I’m getting all A’s and B’s and I go to a college prep school; not to sound pompous but I think I’m kind of smart. I really I am starting to hate school though; most of the material I am learning is irrelevant to my life and there are many more experiences that I need to have, or want to have, other than high school. I’m not saying I don’t want an education, yes some of the material I’m learning is going to be important. I just wish I could learn in a different environment. I think it would be really cool to be homeschooled or online schooled while I travel around the country in a RV, or something like that. I want to travel and learn better from experiences. Does anyone else agree? Or is it just me? I seriously feel like I’m going no where, and I am getting absolutely nothing important out of this, except AP classes.
Anyway, rant over. That’s one thing I love about blogging, I can rant and no one can yell at me for it, or interrupt me.
Next topic. Today in AP World History we got way off topic. It was okay though because we had just finished out notes for the semester, and we all kind of needed it. So anyway, we were talking about our homework, it was written by some person named Jack. Well, one girl asked if my teacher had ever watched Pirates of the Caribbean (because she was thinking about Jack Sparrow, because the authors name was Jack) and he said ‘ Yes, the first one was brilliant!’ then we all laughed because the way he said it made it seem like he hated the others. Then he was talking about how he couldn’t think of many movies where the sequel was better than the first one. Then he said that he could think of one movie where the sequel was better, and he said “Back to the Future II”. Then he asked how many of us had actually seen Back to the Future. I of course raised my hand (one of the best movies ever, and it IS the best 80’s movie, for sure), but then I told him “Yeah it’s good, but the first one is way better!” Then he looked at me like I was crazy, and he went into this whole lesson based around back to the Future.
Here’s how it went: “Okay the best part of Back to the Future II is when Doc is writing on the board about the alternate future, (well first he had to explain to everyone what the movie was about but I’ll keep that out for sake of time). So Doc draws a straight timeline on the board and explain how since the past and future was changed they had created an alternative 1985 (or present time). Well if you think of this, this is true. I mean, we have infinitive different alternate futures ahead of us. One little thing could change what happens to your future, one path could leave you homeless and one path could leave you rich, famous, and happy. It’s important to think about things this way so that you can actually take control of your own future. This is so cool to think of!”
The whole thing really did make me think and it something fun to get off topic about. Plus I was actually excited to know that I understood what he was talking about. In a way it kind of tied in with history. I still think that the first Back to the Future was better but I see how he justifies it. Then this guy in my class, Jesse, said that the third was the best and we all looked at him like he was insane. His only reason was because the doc was cowboy; that is such a guy answer. I think we all decided to tune Jesse out after that. Anyway, the moral of the story. There are so many different ways your future could go and the actions you take in the process decides your future, and also Back to the Future is one of the best movies ever!
I really hope I sleep well tonight, otherwise I might just die of lack of sleep. Luckily my first class tomorrow is art, so I can try to sleep with my eyes open, we probably won’t be doing much. I’m talking to Katelyn and Travis on Facebook Chat. Travis is lucky, a water ppipe broke at his school and now he doesn’t have school tomorrow. I really wish I went to Wellspring sometimes. Well most times. Well not really because I just don’t like school in general so.
I have to write a short story for English Class and it’s a big chunk of my grade, guess what, I haven’t even started! I can’t think of anything, short stories are not my thing. Especially for school. I’m just not good at sticking to one plot and making it under 1,200 words. I am more of a novelist. I also have to study my butt of this weekend. Wish me good luck, I despratly need it.
Well, I’m going to talk to Travis(it’s weird talking to him on Chat, because he usually talks through messages) and Kate for a few minutes, then go to sleep. G’night everyone.
