Back to school rant
Well, I'm back to school soon and it's just bleh :( I already moved up to year 11 in May but we're not getting new teachers until we go back, which sucks. Our art teacher left so we're getting a new one of those, and some new English teachers are coming in and probably some more substitutes.
Everyone's getting scared about getting a dumb teacher but I'm more worried about whether they're strict or not. I'm never naughty but I'm always in a bad mood at school and don't like being bossed around, resulting in me getting yelled at and everyone else laughing. I'd rather have a teacher I'm comfortable with or else I can't really focus on my work peacefully anyway.
Off-topic cuteness interlude:

School might be okay because at least then I'll be getting some structure back into my day. AKA not sleeping in until the afternoon xD I kinda want to get learning again but the teaching system at my school is terrible. You'd get a better education if you just sat at a computer on your own and looked it up. Also, my school have introduced this whole new system. In tutor groups (home room), there are going to be a few students from each year instead of us all being in the same year. Even the 6th formers are in with us!
And our days end at different times, we go straight to lessons instead of signing in and then there's lunchtime which is actually the most confusing... The school gets split in half, and half of us will go to our form groups for twenty minutes while the others have their lunch, and then the people in their forms will go out and be able to mix with the others for twenty minutes. And then they will go back to their form for their twenty minutes while we stay out for the remainder. I used to think school was just for learning but it now seems it's like a game of survival. I don't like being stereotyped or bullied, or bossed around and confused at where I should and when. I just want to plonk my books down and get to work, you know? It could quite possibly end up like this:

My school have also added our homework topics to their school website, and for English it's: Design a character for a horror story. My first thought was "Mary Sue and Edward Cullen." All the girls are absolutely obsessed with it, and I personally can't stand it. Just because people like something, it doesn't mean they have to obsess over it constantly to everyone else. If you like it then great, but I hate it when people just don't know when to keep it on the down low. I don't express how much I like certain bands or books. Heck, I mentioned Cirque du Freak ONE TIME to my ex-friend who's Twi-crazed and she's like "God, will you just shut up about it!" I mean wow...
Just one more moany thing I promise. My friend keeps whining at me saying she wants to be an actress and asks me if she has a shot at it. I said of course she does, she could join a drama club, theatre school, anything she can to help her succeed in the career she wants. But she just had this kind of mortified expression on her face. Sitting at home watching Disney Channel is fine to get inspiration when that's what you want to do, but you'll never excel or be able to do what you want if you dont work for it. Agreed, some people get lucky. But you can't just sit around expecting everything to come to you. I don't mean to sound horrible, it just annoys me when people are actually 'serious' about all these great ambitions but never put in anything to get it. If that was the way, we could all be famous. Famous as in working famous, Paris Hilton along with some others don't count >_>
Congrats if you actually read this meaningless crap, have a doughnut.
