School.

Hey Gamespot, if you stalk me, you've noticed I haven't been blogging much, and when I do blog it's always about nothing. Anyhoo, I'm about to write a pi$$ed off blog about school, as my latest experience with it has been cr@p.

Academically, my school seems to be most useless place of all time. Today I basically sat in multiple rooms being yelled at by mulitple teachers. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but it seems most of my teachers expect me to work when they don't teach, and if they don't teach, then how am I suppost to know how to work.

The one thing I can think of that high school has taught me is the Pythagorean theorem, and I'm in year ten now. I'm picking at my memory to think of anything else I've learnt, as everything they've tried to teach me I think I've forced out of my mind because I thought it was useless, as most of it is.

In Australia, year eleven and year twelve are known as the most important grades as they give you your ATAR, which is one single percentage that can get you into a university. To get the highest possible ATAR you can, you need to pick the boringest subjects, as they count the most towards that one mark. If you want a good mark, don't choose the subjects you want to choose. How logical.

At the end of year eight, I was given the freedom to choose two subjects for year nine and ten. I thought this would be great, as school was finally giving me atleast one freedom. I chose multimedia and IST - Information Software Technology. So computing and media, great! I love computers and I love making videos and whatnot, should be fun, right? Wrong.

For media, our lucky class was given a woodwork teacher, who doesn't know the first thing about media, he doesn't teach, all he seems to do is get angry at people when they play games, so everyone just sits around in this class doing nothing, as our teacher is raging at us. IST is a pretty similar story, in year nine we were given a textiles teacher for computers, at the start of this year she actually tried to teach, and I applaud her for that. She was nice, she just didn't know a single thing about computers. For year ten IST, we've changed teachers, to a 'real' IST teacher. You'd think this'd be better, we've now got a middle aged man with anger problems. Awesome.

The one thing I love about school is seeing your mates everyday, and the question here is; is it worth wasting time to see your mates? In my opinion, it is, but why should we be wasting our time in the first place? God I hate school.

On a lighter note I've been listening to some old THPS soundtracks, I love 'em, soooo nostalgic and they remain to keep their awesomeness over time.
