Alriiiiighty then.

Life is pissing me off at the moment.

What a simple statement with a huuuuge explanation behind it.

I won't even bother going into relationships and all that shizz because I honestly have no idea whats going on xDD

One thing I can be certain of though is that my mocks are in three weeks and I haven't even begun studying.

Now you may be wondering...if you have exams coming up, then why the hell are you on this and not studying?! .... I can't really answer that...

I'm just stupid that way.

I know I haven't written a lot lately, which sucks eggs.

But like I said life is pissing me off. Especially the school side of it. Which seems to have leaked over all aspects of my life. >>

I seriously believe that teachers have come from some distant planet with little no concept of 'too much'.

First, they pile the homework on you, three page essay to be due for tomorrow, six long questions in exam papers, twenty maths problems, (each taking about twenty minutes I might add.) But thats just the tip of the ice berg because its not like they just want you to do the work then spend whatever few seconds you have left before collapsing in exhaustion to entertain yourself, no! There's also the five chapters of science to be learned each night, the twenty pages of the history book, the six chapters of geography and plenty more...!

Believe me, if I had some sort of device which could stop time and allow me to do all these things, then I'd do them! But its impossible and completely unfair to ask a group of 15 year olds to handle so much pressure over a few simple exams.

If thats not enough, Teachers quite literally, freak out at you if you mention that you've been studying right up to your bedtime (whatever that may be) because if they so much as hear something remotely along those lines, they pull you aside and speak in a calm and sickly sweet voice as they say : "You're putting yourself under too much pressure, why don't you do an after school activity? You just need some time to relax... It's only the Junior Cert."

Right. Didn't you JUST say we had to revise five chapters just there? Stupid hoebag. >>

And SCHOOL ACTIVITIES?! I don't know what rock you've been living under but I wouldn't exactly call them stress repellents. If its sports you take part in, theres the gear you have to beg your mom to buy, the money you have to give (which is hardly growing from trees at the moment) just to join the stupid thing and then theres the matches you have to do! I don't see how any of that could help me....'relax'.

Then theres the less sporty activities; Drama, Debating etc. The ones where you're 'expressing yourself'. The ones where you have to stand in front of loads of people and either read a speech or act out something stupid. Where competitions are always popping up out of nowhere with absolutely no warning. Yet again...I don't see how this could help me.

So I suppose the point of this blog was to simply point out how stupid teachers are being. And that life sucks for a JC student...

But hey! There's always the weekend...! :D
