Yes my blog is under strict censorship, but it does not matter because no curse word can describe the anger I am feeling right now. My open campus privileges just got taken away because I did not make honor roll last semester. I did not know that I had to I was two points away in one class from making it, and I got all positive comments on my report card. This would be a little bit more reasonable if they had a set punishment for me and something to do with my time when I arrive to school, but there is nothing like that, and they are being totally unreasonable. One of the worst parts about it is that this class has several intangible grades, such as participation. Teachers do not pay attention to your amount of participation, and it would be a very difficult task to measure the participation accurately for each student every class and not use your own personal bias towards this number. Say I have been holding an A in one class, and it is brought down to an 89. I have been putting in A material work, but it doesn't matter because the man does not want me to have an A. They decide to give me a 77 for participation. How in the hell does a teacher decide that a student has only been putting in 77% effort in terms of participating? It is especially screwed up since it looks like its only a point away from keeping my grade at an A-. Something is wrong. It can also be really difficult to participate in classes when teachers are going to pick the retarded students so they can feel welcome and smart, and by the time they are finished spitting out some crappy answer you either don't care to share your opinion or the subject has changed.

So basically I have to show up every day at 7:40 and hang out until my next class, which is at 11:15. I just hope I will have success with my appeal this Wednesday by explaining my situation to the principal, and I hope support through my peers will get me through this.

The End is Near.

We should all just give up. There is not that much time left for us on this earth anyway. Honestly, the world is changing at such a rapid rate, I find it hard to believe that it can last much longer. Picture yourself 30 years from now. All i can see is destruction. Whether its from nuclear warfare or God himself, I just can't get myself to believe that their isn't going to be something in may way of my growing up and living a normal life, as well as everybody else.

Brace yourselves folks.

Financials

So this summer I finally got a job, and since then I have made a total of $3,000. I have saved $1,300. Where in the heck did all of my money go? I seriously have nothing to show for it, and it really sucks. I've had all these plans of buying a car, but I keep pulling myself further away from that dream by blowing my paycheck every single week. My parents get irritated by my constant "borrowing" of their car, and I get the feeling those privileges could be revoked very soon. I plan on spending over $3,000 so i can get a really reliable car. Maybe I'll just settle for a junky one.

Am I the only person who hates snow?

Snow sucks.

You get to stay home from school +1

You have to get up early to shovel -1

You clean off your parents cars because they don't want to -1

You have to walk to school/work because your parents think your incapable of making it past your own driveway -1

It makes me cold.
It makes me miserable.
It makes me stay indoors for a whole season, maybe a little more.

Ok so maybe I would do that last one anyway, but the fact that there is snow outside seals the deal.

First post.

This will be post #1 out of a total 5. There is no purpose to this blog, so if you search blogs looking for deeper meaning and inspiration you might as well click next blog right away. I am still not decided on whether or not I will write about one topic or about several, but I will at least try to keep things interesting.

The reason that I am making this blog is because it is required of me for my media literacy class. The professor has given me the freedom to write about subjects of my own choosing. Because we mainly talk about stuff to do with the media in the class, I feel it would be appropriate to cover those topics as a main focus, but I plan on using my freedom to write on other things.
