Chitty OBC recording!!!!!!!!!!! WITH A KITTEN!

Hey everyone...closing night was bittersweet, of course. People were giving me gifts, though...so that added a little fun to it. Chitty OBC recording!!!!!!!!!!! WITH A KITTEN! I can't wait for the Lend Me a Tenor DVD! Woooo.
What the puck?!

Nope, we have to do presentations on various parts of chapters four and five, neither of which I understand. *sigh* Damn you, AP bio. If only I could hire someone dizzingly talented to do it for me.

I wonder if he's one of those mathematically/scientifically minded people. I mean, usually people who are so strong in the arts are not, but I wouldn't be surprised if he could do it all.

To back track -- when my chest hurts? Nothing. Just wait it out. It's from being sick. I'm not going to die, I hope.

Sorry, Nia. Chitty OBC recording!!!!!!!!!!! WITH A KITTEN! If it makes you feel any better, I'm stuck on my AP Stats project.

It's probably from all that coughing or something. You're straining your lungs. *pretends she knows what she's talking about*

Do you take a lot of deep breaths? Sometimes that can strain things.

Raul does not seem like the scientific type, but I agree. He could probably do it if he tried. I could too, but I don't have the time. I'm just trying to get through all this work; there's no time to really LEARN.

Not that I'm aware of.

I think that's why I'm so disillusioned with school lately. The idea that you don't learn for learning's sake, even though they say that's whta you do in college. I still feel like I'm learning so I can pass the test or do well on the paper.

Yes! *nods vigourously* I thought that's what my classes would be like this year, but it's not even close. The teachers either a- don't care and pile it on or b- care too much and make it so easy that I'm bored out of my mind. I'd LOVE to sit down and really learn Spanish because I think it's a cool language, but I don't have time to study it. I just memorize a couple things for the quiz. There's no cohesiveness and I don't feel broadened, just worried about my grades. The program at my school is supposed to be advanced, but it's just poorly constructed and taught. But I'll shill it for all I'm worth on college apps.

And this is why I've regressed this afternoon to not doing my homework and eating alphabet soup.

When I was younger I wanted to learn foreign languages on my own. Now I don't want to learn any of them because it's become all about what to study for a test, not the desire to learn.

I'm too sick of this crap to care, and alphabet soup is going to fix it.

T minus four hours until my dignity is doomed.

I feel the EXACT same way about my French class!

I have something better than Alphabet Soup for you, Emcee! *homemade chicken soup* You're not allergic to that, are you?

There was never doubt that I would GO. It's the right thing to do.

There still remains doubt as to how much there is to be said.

About school: we read an article about that for English class last week. About going to school just to get the piece of paper at the end of the road, and move on, not necessarily for the learning experience. I'm going to try to find it online.

There's plenty, methinks.

Allie, I'd like to read it. Part of me blames school for the attitudes of today's teenagers (myself included). With so many facts shoved at is in ways that don't relate to anything we are familiar with, why should we care? Does it really matter what date a battle of one particular war was fought on? We should be studying the causes, effects and ways to prevent those things instead of trying to remember every detail of their existence. That would be far more useful. Today's education seems so misguided.

Rephrase, then. What's APPROPRIATE to say. Or what will matter at all. To spill out everything I've thought since we drifted apart isn't worth either of our time, or my effort. She won't care. And even if she does care, the timing is f*cked, because what's the use of fixing things? So I can be used to pass on information? No way.

I agree. I think I rather vengefully blame school on a lot of how I've turned out. I used to read for fun all the time, and the fact that I was pretty early on bombarded with reading that I HAD to do over the summer, and the fact that that made it impossible for me to read for fun has sort of.... taken the fun out of it for me. (And it's also made me prone to using run-on sentences.)

We had a discussion about it in class. One guy was saying that he told his aunt or something one of the courses he was taking, and her response was, "What are you going to do with THAT?" There's no more learning for the sake of learning and being interested.

And I definitely feel that way. I have NO idea what I want to do, so I'm taking quite a mix of courses. I keep getting asked what these will all amount to, and it's like, "Does it matter right now? I'm testing the waters."

That's my excuse, too. I want to try new things, even though I think I know what I want to do, ultimately.

I agree about reading for fun. School has taken away the time I spend on my own learning.

One of my friends hardly ever gets her homework in because she's busy reading about topics she loves. She researches things like mythology and dreams for fun. Her grades may not be good, but she's one of the few people who are actually learning.

Maybe she cares more than she shows.

now that i'm coming to the end of my college career (what a scary, scary thought...) I wish I could take more classes that I WANTED to take instead of classes that I HAD to take...I mean I love my theatre classes (when we actually discuss stuff...the papers still suck) but I wanted to take an Italian class, and a Sign Language class, and a Floral Arrangement class...just for fun, cause I thought it'd be cool....ahhhh, regrets. haha...but that's why I became a theatre major in the first place...because halfway through college I basically said eff it, I'm going to study what I WANT to study, not something that might give me a more "stable" or "comfortable" lifestyle.

Am I supposed to guess? I'm glad that you can. If you don't show it, it may as well not be there.

How does your friend maintain her grades that way?
