I just totally need to unload about today. Gragh. *tries to not curse*
RANT TAIM
Anyways, basically! Today was the last day before Midterms start. I hate this. My teachers give me the whole "Study Study STUDY!" speach and then review our brains out. I'm sick of hearing this over and over and over. In algebra, this is the fourth day straight that we've been reviewing, and I'm sick of it. He gives us this stupid speech that we only have three more 30-minute classes for him to review with us. Honestly, reviewing should be done by today. Since, after all, Midterms start Monday, or did that ellude you, Algebra Teacher? We should not be doing anything those days, we should review on our own. The extra days are not for you to force us to review, it's for us to choose to review if we need it.
Then, once again, Physics is a pain in my butt. I am sick of reviewing this stupid subject, and totally ignore and start working on my Japanese Kanji Practice. My Teacher comes over and won't leave until I put my practice book away. Hello! Whatever happened to the phrase teachers are saying, the "You have the right to not pay attention andfail"? Granted, I haven't payed attention in any reviews, and pass this stupid class, and end up being the one explaining it to friends, who are in higher math classes then me. Honestly, he knew I was drawing during the review for the last test. Yeah so I got a 72%, That's still passing idiot teacher.
I really feel like going up to these teachers and telling them straight out "I haven't studied for anything in 6 years. I don't need to study. Or do my grades not tell you that?" Come on, I'm passing Algebra 2 with an A-. I don't need to pay attention if I already understand it.
And what sucks the most is my friends who seem paranoid over this stupid "study study study!" crap the teachers shove down our throats. Come on, if you stress over a stupid test, it actually does more harm then good. Stress is bad, and I hate stressing over something as imaterial as a test. Think about it, a test is just a test. It really isn't a test of your knowledge, because if you suck horribly at taking one, you'll fail no matter how much you study.
However, I'm pretty good at taking tests. Yeah, sometimes I pull a blank. But I still pass my classes without studying. The only class I ever failed one marking period was Spanish III (Last year), but I hate spanish, and you know what? I don't care. I got an F on it, I can't change it now. I hate that about one of my friends. She's all "OMG I think I fail, I think I failed" and I'm seriously saying "Get over it, it's done with, no matter what you get, you can't change that grade."
I'm just utterly sick and tired of hearing this "Listen to the Review! Take Notes Now! Study at Home! Study Study Study!" Honestly, the work is already in my notes... why am I watsting double the paper? And on top of that... Dont' study, thus don't need to waste trees taking notes on something I already have and know.
RANT OVAR.
Gragh. Sorry it's kinda long. I just really needed to say stuff about this. I tried to cencor myself best I could. ^__^;;> But I'm really annoyed at this. (Thank goodness it's friday!)
Ahh Young Grasshopper, you have not mastered the ability to look like you are doing what they are saying but doing what you want. I know how you feel. When I was in school it was the same BS. Except I didn't turn in any homework and got 80%+ on all my tests and my Parents would tell the Teachers all I do is Play Nintendo when I get home and not Study or anything. Learn to Tolerate it there. Then when you get home Rant and Rave, cause work is no better unless you are your own boss.

I study about 5 minutes before a test and I pass... once I got a 100% on a test that I didn't even study for. Hell, I can sleep in class and later I remember all the stuff out teacher said! ... Studying is actually pretty overrated I think ._.
I just choosed what Gymnasium I want to go to this fall and right before I was going to make my choice the school nurse walks up to me and starts to talk about some Gymnasium in a town half across the country just 'cus there are other people with problems with their ears there, I hate her. And if you don't want to do something she calls home and tells you parents you are bullying her... I really hate her...
Edit: A Gymnasium here in Sweden is in the same age as High School but I think it is more like a mix between High School and college since you choose a program and then there are classes you have to do and classes you don't have to do.
