But I think I'm handling it alright.
Considering.

I woke up today a little differently. I had a dream, for once, and I was trying really hard to remember it throughout the day, but by the time I got to school I forgot I had even slept.

See, usually, I wake up at around 8am or so and kind of half-sleep until 9:30am, when I have to get up to go to school. I actually woke up at 9:30am today, for some ungodly reason, and my mom yelled at me because of it.

I got up and got ready and s**t, but before going downstairs I decided to check my email since I had asked some really improtant questions on some forums(Not here) about personal stuff. I go to my mom's room and her computer's on already so I just sit down and check if got a reply. I did.(I'm one of those people with email thread subscriptions. Sue me, I like them)

So first I check the thread about my self identification(I don't want to really go into it, but I'll tell you it had nothing to do with sexuality and stuff) and someone, basically, proved to me that I was the stupidest person he had come across. And he also had a really convincing argument, too. Well. That was disheartening, but I shrugged it off, and went onward to my question about demo reels and my education for Video editing.
Yeah, they basically tore my lans to shreds, saying that there was no job for JUST video editing, and if there were, I wasn't qualified enough to be there.
That was said more well, last sarcastic and not flame-y, so I respected it. I mean, secretly I've been knowing that for a while but just didn't want to admit it.

Anyway, I was crushed, and started my way to school, depressed.

I get to school just in time, and I walk into class. No one else is there. It's a team-tought class(meaning two teachers) and one of my normal teachers is looking very mad and upset, talking to two subs. Two subs.. Interesting..

Later, I hear that my whole class had walked out of class because they refused to take a career aptitude test.
Right before I came to class, to boot, so of course I didn't know of this(not that I would've walked out with them; I don't have a car and really no place to go).

Plus, considering what had happened this morning, I WANTED and NEEDED to take that test anyway, to re-evaluate myself.

The whole class came back on their own twenty minutes later.
I asked my teacher if I could take the test anyway and she said no. Grand. Then she left to, I guess, cry or something, because any sane person would be extremely stressed in this sort of situation, especially given that between the 27 students aside from myself, they all only share ONE cockroach brain.

Seriously. It wasa career aptitude test. It was 3 hours long, so what? You would've missed your next classes! How exciting is that?! But, oh no, let's not take this career aptitude test because, you all OBVIOUSLY know EXACTLY what you're going to be doing in life. I mean, You're too good for 3 hour long tests anyway, right? Yeah! ******** 3 hour long tests, those are stupid! Let's all walk out!

For the past two weeks, I've been trying to bring in a video camera to record just how stupid and rude this class is, just so you guys can see what I and my teachers have to put up with. This has finally raised the bar; I am charging the camera, I have blank tapes. Prepare for a yousendit link tomorrow.
I swear to god, you will have WAY more respect for how I deal with stress after you see what our generation of humanity has to offer. We're all seniors- we graduate soon(I early) this is seriously your new working class, here.
BE AMAZED.

So we end up watching a movie- "Stand and Deliver"(ironic, isn't it?)

But, get this. Twenty minutes before class ends, The whole class walks out again.
Seriously, was the movie THAT bad? Was it really torturing you so much to watch the ******** movie that you HAD to walk out again? Why couldn't you just disrespect the -four. FOUR- people who were trying to watch the movie and just talk like all the other kids?
Talk during the movie. OMG! WHAT A GRAND IDEA.
But no, you're too good to sit in class the whole time! You have to walk out again.

I hope you all get suspended. I hope you all have to repeat the ******** year and become 5th year seniors.
I hope some magical napalm comes up and only affects YOU, because frankly, if I were an employer trying to find employees, I'd shoot myself at the prospect of you people applying for jobs.

Retarded and mentally ill patients are more reliable and respected than you are.
