Sorry for being AWOL last weekend, let's just say that the teachers decided that last weekend was the perfect opportunity to hand out some homework (such as, I DON'T KNOW, an oral presentation, an essay, reflections, diagrams, etc etc!?) and it's the beginning of the Peak Homework Season in school. As usual, I wasn't prepared for it. Well, who is prepared for a lot of homework that comes just on the day when you want to go home, plop on your bed and basically, pass out for the next few hours or so?
Anyways, let's just say the reference to "The Scientist" did refer to...science class.
*insert photo of Archie blowing up the entire science lab that I spent about 30 minutes finding...but failed*
My teacher is a total asshole. No kidding, his face does resemble that area sometimes. But it's just absolutely nasty about how he wants to rip all our faces off just because we don't understand something.
Someone: Hey I don't understand-
Teacher: Stop wasting my time! You guys are so irritating!
Last class we did this experiment on gravitational potential and kinetic energy, and let's just say I forgot to save the document with all of our measurements on it (I didn't think it was required! It wasn't going to be turned into a lab report or anything, so I was definitely sure of that) and then he asked for our final two values, which we clearly did not have, thanks to me (we gave the two values to him last class as well, he wanted to review something). But in my OneNote documents, I had some calculations there, so I could easily just get the numbers back again and work it out once more. Before I got the second final value, the teacher asked our table what the values were, and we told him we had to wait a few more moments. And then before I could get the calculations, about two seconds later he asks for the values again. Once again we aren't able to provide them.
After I finally get the numbers, he comes back from talking to another table who also didn't have their calculations, and judging from their faces when he left, they obviously got screwed over. I was about to tell him about the final numbers, and he interrupts with the "I'm very unimpressed and disappointed with this table because you obviously haven't got the ability to read instructions...you guys have missed on important skills you need for future assignments and that's your fault..." speech. It also included, "Are you guys able to read? Judging from this evidence, I think you aren't able to!".
Okay, first of all, in no way are we illiterate, we DID read the instructions, and we also gave the values to him last class too. We just weren't able to give them to him this class because I forgot to save the document (he didn't even give me a chance to speak up for myself and my giant mistake because he was concerned about the fact that I couldn't read). Now we are probably going to be marked down for not providing the values, even if it clearly did not count for our grades.
And then he assigned an experiment. With a lab report. That's due on the exact same day another important assignment from a different subject is due. The times I wish I was a ventriloquist so I could say how much I hate him and not get in trouble...
Sheesh.
Anyways, on a brighter note, once I finish off all of my homework (which I need to start...now) I'm going to review Sara Bareilles' new album, "Kaleidoscope Heart", which I'm really excited to hear. I'm going down, follow if you want, I won't just hang around, like you'll show me where to go, I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how, to get started, it's all uncharted...
