Oct. 20th, 2004 06:10 pmSo, today was day of dialogue and it was lots of fun. And yeah, I don't feel like describing it as the people who read this were there.
I should be starting my history essay, but why do I actually want to write a two page paper saying why Napoleon either furthered or betrayed the french revolution? Besides the fact that our teacher told us to. So, I'm just gonna do it last minute tomorrow night and get a better grade on it than if I start it tonight.
It's pathetic, really, how the teachers all believe I put in so much more effort into their classes when I'm doing their work last minute than if I actually put effort into them. Like yesterday, we were getting our grades in science from Blakely and I was called up. Blakely wrote down that I was passing and all that crap and to continue the good work and then he told me that he loved it when students not only had talent, like I do, but also when they continue to put in a wonderful effort to further that talent or some other bullshit like that. He actually believes I'm putting in a great effort. I'm writing lab reports the day before they are due in all of fifteen minutes. I wrote the creationism paper in like three hours on the day before it was due and he told me that he remembered my paper being insightful and well written. If I had started that paper a few weeks earlier, he probably would have thought it sucked and could have been much better. But, no, I write it last minute and he believes I "put in an wonderful effort."
Before he called me up to look at my grades, I was thinking that I really should be putting more effort into this class and then I'm told I'm getting an A and that I should keep up the good work of not trying at all.
I also learned yesterday that doing my history homework in all of three minutes in spanish will be getting me check minuses. The one class I could care less about and it's the one class I'll have to try the hardest in to get a grade reasonably close to the grades in my other classes. How fair is that? I could care less and really don't need it in later life but I have to put the most effort into it.
My email program thingie suddenly died today, so I can't email people or get emails and I don't know when it will be fixed, but whatever. I can IM and so I really don't care.
