old man...
...

Sigh. Yesterday was a good day ... in some ways. Well, in the morning my English 1D professor moved the essay to be due on Monday. Phew. Then my Anthropology teacher, to accomodate for the fact that the projector system was completely removed, decided to move the exam to Monday! Hurrah! Less stress -- until the weekends hit, that is. I later went to my PE class to see that it was cancelled as well, so I ended up spending the hour having intellectual conversations with Charlie and Josh.



I'd say the day was going smooth until Academic Decathlon. That man sends up his croonies to announce his ideas and ends up greatly upsetting Stephanie, who proceeded to write messages on the wall, a hate letter and who knows what. Though I did agree with Stephanie because I felt that the man has overstepped his authority and know acts like he owns the place. At the same time, I think its because no one else is asserting their authority to do anything about it in the first place. I became so frustrated and stayed after class to talk to Mr. Kennedy about it, but I just realized that the man has no idea what he is doing and failed to understand my point. I am so angry - he acts as if I have done nothing all semester, despite of the fact that everyone knows that isn't true.



However, this issue brought forth the realization that no matter how hard I may try to get him to see things in my perspective -- a PRACTICAL and LOGICAL manner -- it is useless. He's enchanted by the witch. Though ... its because the only person who had talked to him most of the time is her. There really isn't a point to try and fight what that man proposes now. The best option is to run with what there is and see how it goes, but more importantly, a concrete system needs to be developed. I'll try my best to be a mediator and bring leaders up in front of the class so they can announce their ideas, but I hope that they will care enough to do it ... That's one fear I always had.



I agree, this is all so pointless, dramatized and out of whack. I think its ridiculous we have to do to such measures to make the class FUNCTION. For this, I blame only one person. Yet again, there is no point in complaining because no matter how many times I cry, the things that go on around me won't stop for me.



On the home front ... my dad seriously injured his knee. He's been moaning and groaning as he treads around the house very slowly on crutches. Autorepair is a difficult job to stomach - especially in the hot summers. I fear that my dependancy on them is running short. My brother had it easy beign able to rely on my parents for so long. Due to the fact that I am the youngest, I have much more responsibility. I also think that my life has been much for "free" as a result. To be honest, I really like this freedom - being free to fail or succeed. I think in this society we've become way too comfortable. We've set up safety nets over the next, making people so dependant. There are a lot of policies that I disagree with such as universal health care because I think people should be able to take care of themselves for the most part. I don't mind if the margin where people are considered poor is bumped up, but the everyday man should be able to fend off for himself without the government babysitting him. Jesus. Things like that irritate me so much - like mothers wanting to ban videogames. Well, how about you take care of your own damn kid and make sure he or she doesn't bring home a rated M game? Its not that hard to enforce a little supervision on your child, you know! But people are so stupid, illogical and thick.



Sounds like some other old man that I know.



Ugh, I've been feeling so dizzy lately. After I had that argument with that old man ... I felt so shaky and mad. I should relax somehow or the other before I go insane one of these days.
