Idiot, dolt, moron, etc…

*stabs the seat with her pencil*

I am surrounded by idiots. They think they know everything and they are such dolts. Heh, I love that word… Anyways, they complain so much and every day it’s something different, something more moronic. Sometimes they make me wonder how in the world they can even function. How in the world have they survived so many years? Maybe it’s the numbers theory. It worked in Grapes Of Wrath, so why not now? Of course the people in Grapes of Wrath weren’t such idiots. They didn’t complain as much.

And yes, I’m complaining. The human race disappoints me so much, but it’s not like I can say I’m not one of them. I can’t pretend not to be human. Some people on the SZ may think that I’m a robot of some sort, but I’m not. I’m a living, breathing, mistake-making, complaining homo sapien.

I just wish some people would get some brains. I wish they would stop their complaining and actually do something meaningful with their lives. I also wish that people would stop being so lazy. Laziness is a person’s worse enemy. Perhaps if people weren’t so lazy then we could actually do a few things about today’s problems. I would do something, but no I’m just a seventeen year-old girl still in high school. What I have to say and think mean nothing to the world. It doesn’t matter if I won second place in a state competition, I’m still not good enough to have a voice.

I’m sick and tired of being pushed aside because I am too young or don’t have a vocabulary full of words that half of the country has never heard of. These biased people who think that their opinion is the only thing that matters. It is so damn ridiculous.

For example, with the Texas Accessment of Knowledge and Skills Exams that I had to take about a month of so ago we had to write a paper and answer three short answer questions about some selections we read. We have no idea what they expect out of us and we don’t even get to see why we get the scores we got. Granted, I got commended some of my peers failed by a few points. I would bet anything that most of them failed because of the insane and unknown guidelines we have to follow to write the paper and answer the short answer questions. My teacher has even asked them what they want us to do and they have yet to tell her. She has only been able to guess by reading the answers we put down (and since she can’t see the questions, she can also has to guess those).

My best friend, who got second place in the state ESSAY writing competition (and also got perfect scores on her short answer questions last year), got terrible scores this year. She’s the smartest person in our class, great at answering questions and expandning on quotes (or else she wouldn’t have even gotten to state), yet she couldn’t even score average on a standardized test? I scored average on two of my answers, and extraordinary on my other one. I was the only one in my school to do so.

Hmmm… maybe, just maybe the test is too hard! They’re testing to make sure you know the minimum before graduating. Gah, I think it’s unfair that you don’t graduate if you don’t pass that stupid thing. It takes so much time from class as well, with all our attempted efforts at trying to study for the test. It’s not just my school either. About 1/6 of students in Texas that took the test didn’t pass. A new, outstanding record of seniors can’t graduate this year because of that stupid test. I know, let’s try again next year! See how many more students we can stop from graduating. [/sarcastic] ._. Come on, new solutions please. Oh yea, I forgot my opinion doesn’t matter… <________<

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system and went back to glance over my post, I must say: woah, I got totally off track. I was complaining about a certain group of people in my Environmental Science class then I start complaining about the TAKS English Exit Exam. And ever since I’ve gotten this blog I’ve noticed that I only write when I’m upset or really happy about something. Bad things are more memorable, so I write about them the most.

But, my opinion doesn’t matter. Who cares if I say the TAKS is unfair or that I think I’m surrounded by idiots?
