I'm just trying to find my place: i should want to do well on the SAT.. →

eeversincewemet:

but i’m starting to get to a point where I’ve had enough. I’m sitting here doing practice SAT work and I’m still completely awful at the math section. I’ve been at SAT classes and practicing since November and I feel like I’ve gotten nowhere. I feel like it’s like useless even trying. And I…

My english teacher today in reference to thought-provoking and analytical movies or tv shows.

kmofreak:I don't really watch a lot of tv, but one of the shows I do watch is Doctor Who.
Teacher:What do you like about it?
kmofreak:I read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies, so I can easily predict how the story will go, but with Doctor Who it's not so easy.
Teacher:Yes. I think you have to kind of be an intellectual person to really appreciate Doctor Who.
Me and kmofreak:*Look at each other with giganitc grins on our faces.*

"You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too. No, I think there was too rigid a pattern. You came out of an education and are supposed to know your vocation. Your vocation is fixed, and maybe ten years later you find you are not a teacher anymore or you’re not a painter anymore. It may happen. It has happened. I mean Gauguin decided at a certain point he wasn’t a banker anymore; he was a painter. And so he walked away from banking. I think we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps demanding that we fit in and not disturb things. They would like you to fit in right away so that things work now."

Professor Hermit

I doubt we’ll ever get followers on this. So this is more or less a memory log for my friend and I. So the last (and only first posts) were about a teacher we had last semester. Within a few weeks, my friend had dropped the class. and within the month, I did. Now, however, we have a new teacher to complain about. The class is Religions of the World, the teacher shall be henceforce named Professor Hermit.

Stay tuned.
