I need to get back to work because I have nothing to do and I spend too much time on these message boards. (Not that being here is a bad thing, but earning a living is a bit more important...)

Sorry, to beat the grammar horse again, but there is no such word as "heighth," nor is there a "heigth." I know that sound is logical with "length" and "width," but it is always "height." No "th." Ever.

I heard that at least twenty times today and it really got on my nerves.

 

 

I also have a couple other rants. Here goes.

 

So, the first one. My math teacher is incompetant. He doesn't care about his students, he barely ever teaches the class, he plays favorites like there's no tomorrow, he grades harshly, he's sarcastic and mean, and he's entirely unhelpful.

I'm struggling through what should be an easy year of math, and it's because my teacher doesn't actually care about the class. I'm working hard. I'm doing everything I need to do. But my teacher doesn't understand that the textbook is horrible and it's really hard to get much of anything out of it if it's not accompanied by a class.

We recently did a section on parametric equations (x^2+y^2=r^2). Basically no one in the class understood it at all until the section was over and he finally decided to teach it (his excuse was that we all should have learned it last year - maybe two people had).

At another point in the year, he made a mistake grading a quiz, and said it was out of 31 points when it was really out of only 30 points. When we figured this out, he refused to change our grades, even though it was his mistake. That one point would have pushed me up to an A.

 

Number two: I'm currently playing Dr. Livesey in a production of Treasure Island. Our director is a college student and he is very busy all the time. I totally understand that, and he's a fantastic guy, but a lot of the time, he doesn't even watch our rehearsals. I'm sorry that he has other things to do, but if he's really that busy, than he shouldn't have asked to direct this. He made a commitment to be here just like we did. He doesn't get to lecture us every day about being here and not leaving if he isn't going to stay himself.

 

That's pretty much my life right now. I'm unhappy with my math class and I'm weighed down with rehearsals for the next two weeks.

People driving Hummers who slow to an almost dead stop before rolling over a small speed bump at minimum speed. Really? Are you afraid you may hurt the suspension?

 

Isn't a Hummer an off road vehicle? Seriously? Hummers only get like 5 miles to the gallon going downhill on a good day! There not even that nice.

 

I hate people that say you're creepy and they don't even know you! (Cough Wes, and Colin!)

I'm really starting to understand how frickin' stupid some people can be in middle school. One common example is simple insults. Except at my school, it's not so. This is an actual quote I heard on my walk toward the park:

 

"Shut up you b!t^h slut f^*k, you motherf^*ker!!"

 

Yep. I hate my school.

Tomorrow is the last day of the gradeing period and I have two essays to write, due by first period tomorrow. I also have a rough draft for journalism due later in the day which I will just have to work on in French I guess.

As I type this, I am suffering from a severe nosebleed. I've gone through many tissues and it isn't stopping!

 

EDIT: now I have nausea. I feel like I'm going to be sick.

AutoCAD.

 

There's absolutely nothing "auto" about it. You still have to enter the commands and information.

Some of that is just middle school You still have stupid and ignorant people in high school, but people (most at least) get more mature as they enter and go through high school.

Just once I would love to be informed on important things in our family. Just for once. You know forgetting to tell me about a family birthday party or something every once in a while is alright, but when someone in my family might have cancer you think I MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT!!!! I really, REALLY hate my family right now.

 

Only about 2 more years until college.

I can't stand when a motorcycle parks in a regular sized space, and another one parks two or three spaces over. Why don't they just share a space? Or whoever designs parking lots should designate a motorcycle parking area with smaller spaces.

 

It's such a pain to park at our train station because they do this all the time.

Picky eaters. Do you think things like sushi would be so popular if they weren't incredibly tasty? No! I think picky eaters are just that way for the attention. "Hey everyone, look at me, I won't eat that, and that makes me better than you!"

When I'm at a restaurant and if I order water the waiter(ess) serves everyone a glass - I'm not being tight but I ordered water thats my drink for the evening - s/he doesn't serve coke to everyone! And to make it worse I can't complain because people will think I'm being cheap
