some truly amazing revelations (and metaphors)

I was just about to go to bed, when I realized that I hadn't posted today or yesterday, and I don't want my three readers to think I've quit on them already, so here I am!!

I was just doing a little "meditation and reflection" on some things, you know, mulling over past events, and I realized something. I think I'm only smart because my brain has retained its childhood spongeyness way past the time its suppossed to. And because of this, I have the extraordinary ability to remember things. Not important things, like remembering to bring in projects when they're due, because that's not fun enough. I remember things like the French motto (liberte, egalite, franernite [pronounced: lee bear TAY, AY gah lee TAY, fra, tear nee TAY]) , and like trivial facts. However, when I pull out one of these randoms facts from my knowledge pond, people are amazed that I'm so "smart". But, I'm really not.

There's a downside to the brain-sponge thing though: I need to be given water to absorb. If my teachers don't sprinkle me with some quenching information during class, I'm absolutely useless. And that's why I'm going to fail English this year. Besides the fact that my teacher can't teach, she makes us do ALL the work. She puts us in groups, telss us to do the packet/sheet, and that we have a quiz on it in two days. And then she makes the lovely announcement that her Unit Test on this book is a killer. Great, not only does she refuse to teach, she spends all the extra time she has from not teavhing and channles it into making an absolutely impossible test. I'm going to have so much fun.

On a lighter note: I know I didn't fail the global test, because I got a 68 out of 70 on the first 2 parts. YAY!! Hopefully we'll get the full grades back tomorrow.

Well, It's getting late, and I should get some good shut eye afore scuola tomorrow.
