Everybody got in super ranting mode today except for me. But I do have to say that I feel suffocated by my school, like I don't get enough choices. I can't do what I want, I can't explore my interests, I have /no/ choices. They shove our courses at us, 'take this, take this, you have to have it' and of course we /do/, but if the school wasn't so incompetent we could have plenty of time to get the credits the state of North Carolina requires to graduate highschool.
No extracurricular. Our art class is a LAUGH. Our band is even worse. There's no such thing as drama, or music, or even different kinds of art. It's just.. I don't feel that good being in a school that restricts me so much. I want to be able to explore and do something more tailored to my interests.
What makes me even more angry is the fact that-- and people probably think I'm crazy for complaining about this-- our days are so incredibly SHORT, which limits my choices for classes even more because it's just a six-block day. I was already interested in applying for NCSSM before but now I'm starting to be more serious about it, because I'll be in more of a position to find something that I can work towards instead of frantically scrambling to get the credits I need to graduate. Our schedule is already full next year: Spanish, World History (wtf. why the hell am I taking a journalism class that is so crappily organized? I should be taking history.) Biology, C+R, English II, and Algebra II. There's no room for Art II in that schedule (I'm pretty sure Mrs. Wilson offers it, there just aren't many people that can be interested due to the frantic schedules) and we don't offer anything else, because we're a freaking five-year-old, dinky little run-down retard school. I want to go to a real school.
And then people ask me, "Well, would you rather go to Graham?" and truthfully, I wouldn't, because I've seen first-hand the type of people Graham produces. But I'd like to go somewhere, -anywhere-, where I won't be as held down and restricted as I am at rivermill.
North Carolina School of Science and Math sounds a bit intimidating, yes, but I do tend to have a more literal mind (even if I -don't- enjoy it, it's just fact.) Plus, they have more choices, lots of art programs and developed athletics and theatre and a real campus and no whiny, migraine-inducing smaller children. I /hate/ having to go to school with a bunch of elementary- and middle-schoolers. It makes me feel like I'm being brought down. Again.

PLEASE GOD. I am taking the PSAT next year.. I might take the SAT for the first time, early, so I can submit an application. Please accept me, NCSSM, I'm just asking you ahead of time. I want a *real* school.
Other than that.. I hope Mom gets a new car soon, so I can start driving more. I hate driving that '86 piece of shit because it dies on me, and the speedometer doesn't work (which is illegal, by the way) and it makes me feel insecure.
Ee! Jeb let me borrow his Xbox. I had to lend him my PS2, though. He wanted to watch some DVDs (and he took some of mine, and my ROTK game) that he couldn't on his Xbox, because you have to fork out thirty extra dollars to get the remote before the DVD player is accessable. He has XBox live, too, but sadly, I can't hook it up here. :( Got Morrowind, though, and D&D Heroes, and Rainbow Six (wtf? I don't know if I'll ever get around to playing this.) <3
Oh, oh, I've started an application to be a Newbie Greeter on HE XD on Ariyann. And I'm going to make my new student alt soon.. but probably after she graduates. His name is definately going to be Aidan (if nobody STEALS it >>) but I'm having trouble deciding on a last name. Aidan Griffin? I like the name Aidan Lynch.. but he's /not/ the Seeker for the Irish Quidditch Team in modern-day. XD He's going into third-year next term (Ari's first as an alumni) and he's kind of short, got a round face pale skin and freckles, and curlyish black hair that frames his face. YEAH. <3 Hufflepuffs owns.
Reading The Sight by David Clement-Davies and it is yummy. <3 Wolfses. Yey. I'm about 2/3 through aaand.. after I'm done with that, I purchased The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan. <33! Fourth book in the Wheel of Time series! I'm getting there! AHAHAHAH.
Might be going up to Southpoint this weekend for Justin's birthday, but who knows yet? I have to find a way to con some money out of Mom.. it hasn't been that hard lately, but I've already promised myself to do a lot of slave labour.
...damn.
