| Today was ok. I actually was having an OK DAY. WOW!! well it all started when i i saw our period's morning announcements. He put us on second. But then i was disappointed when i realized that they played the wrong song. How could they do that to me? They were suppose to play The Used - Box full of sharp objects. They didn't. They played Brandnew - Jude Law and a semester abroad. While it s a good song, and i can tolerate the band in general, they were SUPPOSE to play The Used. POOP!!! Well then i managed to get over this major set back in my now crappy day. Which came pretty quickly. Well considering i had to wait through health, biology, and English for it. But i got it. So in 4th period I have US History. Easy stuff for me. I'm no history buff but it is one of my better classes. Anyway. We are learning about the effects of the Renaissance, on the Age of Exploration. Well after explaining Marco Polo, and how he came back from Asia really rich, my teacher then said that other countries wanted Asia's richs. But Marco's way (of crossing land from Europe to Asia) was too long. So he asked us how they got to Asia. "But keep in mind kids, they dont know about the new world yet." So i said they went around Africa. Which is true. Some girl (Paris i think her name is) asked why they didnt sail west (and for those who have as bad a sense of direction as i do, that would be like traveling from europe towards the USA) I said that at the time they thought the world was flat. Well this really stupid girl, ditzy type, turns to one of those huge flat maps of the world that's behind her and points to the area at the far right; in the ocean just off Asia. She asks wait so then what comes after this? I was shocked at how stupid people are. Everyone was yeling at her telling her she was stupid. I stand up since i'm not that far awy from her or the map, and i point to what actually is "next", the other end of the map. In the Pacific Ocean. I told her this was what came after what she had pointed to. Yet her next comment almost left me speechless. (And by the way, Mitchell's in complete and utter amazement) She turn's to me and says, "boy you so stupid. That's at the other end of the map." No shit it's at the other ed of the map. It's a fucking flat version of the earth, shit-for-brains. So Mitchell grabs a globe and tell her that this is a micro version of what the earth actually looks like. She says, "wait so the world is round?" I said something to the effect of, "yeah we've known that for about 600 year." She was so amazed. She actually had a look of surprise on her face. Then as a joke, Mitchell says, "well of course it's going around this hugething called the sun." Then another stupid girl gets the courage to ask, "wait the sun is bigger than the earth?" My jaw hit the floor. Paris says, "girl that was so stupid." Im thinking, Bitch you have no room to talk, you just found out the earth was round!!!!!!!! Fuck why do stupid people think that as soon as they hear someone else say something equally stupid, they think they are geniuses? Then, a third person asks, "if you were in a rocket and you shot staright out of the earth, since it's round, wouldn't you go straight off?" I must give credit to this preson. it actually took some level of intelligance to ask this question, but not much to answer it. A plane does exactly that, but does it go into space? NO!!!!!! IDIOT!!!!!! I told the person just that. Mitchell told me to calm down. How can i stay calm when im surrounded by so much ignorance? Well then, the queen of all knowledge and wisdom, Paris, asks, " whats after the earth?" we say other planets. "yeah i know that, but whats after them?" again we said more planets. She was about to say something else, but seeing where the latest barrage of mind bending questions was going, i said that we dont know where the universe ends. She said "ummm ok then." Last, but certainly not least, was a comment madde by the kid sitting next to me. Mitchell was moving on and had made a comment about how Eurpoe didnt know that the America's were there. So the kid next to me says, "Well they probably didn't know Africa was there either." How could you miss Africa? It's (added in hand motion's) this big! His resopnse. "Well they missed the America's." the America's and europe were sepreated by a fucking ocean!!!! At this point i was so fed up with the stupidity of my fellow classmates, that i was actually yelling out curses. I got up, walked across the room to a map about the world in the 1300"s. I pointed to where Africa and Europe touch. I am by now screaming. How could you miss Africa? It's right fucking there!!!! I mean my God, their touching!! He turns all red and says, um ok. Mitchell is cool though. Instead of giving me a detention, he made me official stupid people slapper. I'm excited. Now that i look back, it's really funny. kelli was laughin her face of. Though she is the only one in that class that actually understands me. She almost passed out. She was literally crying. Then she explained to to our table at lunch next period. It had the same effect on them. Our table of kelli, lauren, becca, drea, reachel, me and some other guy that sits at the end that never pays attention. We were going crazy. But unfortunately for me my day was not over. I had Algebra II next. So i'm in class, bored to tears. I sat for what felt like hours, waiting for the bell to ring. Finally it does. GRRAAAAHHHHH!!!! That period was soooo boring. Especially since i was hyper as hell, just coming off two really crazy and funny periods in a row. So i'm in Adv. Telecom. Just sitting there becuase we really weren't in the mood to practice today. So they were playing crappy music, and talking about pointless things. I sat in the corner, thinking about nothing. I really didnt want anything to do with these people. Suddenly i realize something. Something really bad. My life is exactly as it was last year. And the year before. And the year before that. These past 2 years especially. This time last year i was exactly as i am now. I hated school. I had no one to really enjoy my time with at home. But even back then i hated the people in my school. I had a communications class, filled with people that i wouldn't mind throwing off a rooftop. Though i'll admit. The people this year don't seem to mind that im a year ahead of where i should be. Last year when everyone found out i was a freshman, they acted like i knew nothing. (You have to be a sophmore to take Comm Tech, my sister knew the teachers that run the studio's and stuff. She got me in a year early)They treated me like a 2 year old. AAAHHHHH!!!! i hated them so much. Still do. All those ignorant bastards need to shut-up or get my foot up their ass. Thank God i'm out of there. But now i'm a sophmore with a bunch of juniors and seniors. They are better than last year, but not much. I hope it's not a repeat of last year. My sister keeps telling me i only have to wait 3 more years. Just 3 more years and i'll be out of there. I'm so happy i have Alyson. even though she's at Elon right now, she always finds ways o cheer me up and help me with anything. She definately helped me in this instance. She's the only person that knows enough about me and my life, and has gone through twp. recent enough to know how shitty it is. Plus we have that odd sibling bond thing. And you know what? She is exactly right. I have already started looking for colleges to go to. All i need is 3 more years and i can leave all this shit behind me. Everything that hs gone wrong in my life, every problem i have ever had, i can leave it here in twp., and never have to worry about them again. Praise the Lord!! sry inside joke. Well now that i know that my life seems to be goin in circles, i think i'm gonna go to bed and think about how to straighten it out. Night world. ~BOYER |
