When you get stuck in that little oblivion

Well, what oblivion, you might wonder. Of course, it's not literal darkness, but just piles and piles of homework.

Yes, here's the long-awaited high-school rant. Ah, we rant about teachers, homework, CCAs and all that. The norm.

But what makes it so nice to rant about? Well, here's a little insight on the sad school lives of ------- -----. --, don't sue us please.

Firstly, we have this stupid thing called SIAs. Student Initiated Assignments. Student initiated? Over my dead body. No, it's still a lie even when I die. But whatever. The school implemented it, for God's sake. Really, it's more of a school initiated assessment than anything. I mean, nobody will actually invent a bloody chinese book report to do. Nobody in their right minds, except for the school, who obviously is in their left. Sorry. I know I am lame.

Another thing we have is maths lessons. Yes, we all have algebra to torture us worldwide (though I find it quite fun, I must say). But somehow, maths lessons, science lessons, geog lessons and historylessons just... dry us up. Although they encourage imagination, i.e. when we're daydreaming in class. Yes.

And can I be evil and complain about our teachers? Sometimes we get idiot deadlines that are so bloody near and we almost can't complete the thing. And so I really hope no teacher comes across this blog. Fervently.

Oh. And P.E. PE is there to ruin our lives. Literally.

And that's for the bad side. Well, of course, school has its good aspects too.

For example, I get to learn the cello for free, and sometimes I even enjoy it. Well, yes, it's nice. When you get to bond as a student group. Ah yes, CCAs are fun. Sometimes. When you aren't being slave-driven to get Gold With Honours for all competitions. Or arranging the next karaoke session.

Sorry, inside joke.

And yes, well, when you mug for tests and get good results back, it's nice. (Others, please don't kill me for this.)

Lastly, and the best-ly, the friends. The friends you meet there probably are the best and the closest, since you see them every day. Of course there're the enemies too, but let's just say friends are much more worth remembering, and without enemies to bitch about, life's simply no fun.

Yes, now I sound like a sentimental sap. But it's just that sometimes we shouldn't just look at one side of things (although sometimes things only have one side). Learn to treasure the little bits of fun in between the suck-ishness, and yes, you will be happy and not turn snarky and bitchy like me.
