One of those days
You ever have one of those days? The type where you wake up and you get through most of the day and everything is fine, and you just know, deep down, that it isn't going to last? I'm having one of those days. It started out OK, nothing major happened... well, i spent all of this morning before school trying to get one of those Chinese square things to work... and surprise surprise i didn't... so i was almost late for calling on people, but i wasn't... just.
Anyway, got to school, normal first lesson where the person i lent my calculator to yesterday for their general studies exam went back home to get it for me so i could do my maths homework for 5th. And so i spent the first hour of the day doing routine things such as blog checking, email checking, etc. And then, when i got my calculator back, i spent the next hour doing the maths paper, before giving up, going on the web and downloading the answers... yes, the rebel in me is surfacing!
But it's not like we used them until we really needed them... question 1 d?
Anyway, Tomo-chan and i have come up with a wonderful plan... there is a display in the ILC of skills and qualities that are good to have... and they all start with the letters R,A,I,N,B,O or W, and 3 per letter. So of course, we cant have the next year being shown a load of lies... so we have come up with our own list... *cackles madly*
Still, at least our idea is nicer than some peoples. They want to get frozen prawns, put them all over the school, and let them thaw over the weekend... but of course it's the half term then, so they'll have fully stunk the place out by the time anyone gets back. I wash my hands of that, i shall have no part to play in it if it goes ahead. Besides, Tomo and i have our own plot to spring.
Maths was sorta interesting. After "doing" the aforementioned paper, only Tomo and i actually turned up to the lesson! So the teacher begins to go through the paper, using the mark scheme that we printed off in lesson 2, and (i know, i know, rebel!), before realising that because we know of the website, we can check our "own" answers ourselves. So he just gives us another paper and heads off to get a coffee... apparently he would offer us one, but there were only a limited number of cups... to which Tomo commented once he was out of the room "but there's only 2 of us!"
5 minutes is what he said... but it was more like 25... and the teachers tell US off for chatting! Grant, Matthews, Finders and Robothem(?sp...?anyone caring) were just standing in the corridor having a good natter, while we were trying to translate the paper into English. Not an easy task, i tell you! Just what the hell does differentiate implicitly mean anyway?! Seriously!
Came home, did some work, fought with that Chinese square, realised i had f****d it up, and decided screw it, i didn't need to do it anyway! (so i gave up... so what?!) Had tea, then compared my answers of my wrong Chinese square with dads wrong Chinese square to see if between us we could work out what we had done. And he put me to shame by working out the answer. But hey.
Oh yeah, something Tomo was discussing with me the other day. Can you put something that you learnt either this year or the year before into everyday context? She managed to analyse my voice, of all things, and got both music and English into it. Somehow. But it struck me that it's actually sorta hard to do. I study psychology, so you would expect me to be able to do it fairly easily, and hell, on some level, if givent he right situation, i could. There's the whole stress management thing that we did last year that could be applied at the moment, but that's only because of the stress of the exams for most people. For psychology being a very "up-to-date, relative science", it's hard to apply it to everyday life... but then that's ecologically validity.
But i finally managed to... OK, so it was something that i learnt at GCSE, and it isn't exactly everyday life... but anyway. The Wizard of Oz is wrong. When the scarecrow has been given his doctorate in thinkology, he says "the sum of the square of any 2 sides of an isocolies triangle is equal to the remaining side" this is not true... unless the angles in the triangle are 90, 45 and 45, but even then its still a right angled triangle. And even then it has to be the correct sides for that to work. See, what the world of school has done to me... I'm analysing the Wizard of Oz!! So I'll stop doing that now.
And then i have a confusing conversation to top off my day. So now I'm trying to not think about it too much, because I'll probably get it explained to me soon, I'd better or there will be hell to pay!And if i keep thinking about it, my "what the fuck" situation that i am currently trying desperately to keep up will crash and burn around me. But hey, the issue is my issue, and can only really be solved by one person. I just hope it gets resolved soon, otherwise a psychiatrist will be making a lot of money, all the amount of things that they'd get out of me if i cracked for them.
Wow... that was a really long update for a day! Hmmm, guess i needed to vent more than i realised. Ah well, i shall retreat back into my shell until next time.

Heh I've ended up watching a film and enjoying it on one level whilst looking carefully at all the ins and outs to see how it's made and where the focus and stuff goes. It happens...
As for learning stuff from school I did sociology with media, I watch films, did english lit and several other things and cannot stop actually going into everyday life whilst talking about something...heh I think I'm very weird.
