Well, it's that time again. School starts tomorrow. I dislike school, because I dislike homework, because although through NOT doing it, I "prove" I am lazy, I ace the tests, which means I learned what I was told, no extra work required. Wouldn't that earn me loads of credit? Doesn't that prove I can learn what I have to, FAST, and wouldn't that make me a valuable person in the workforce? Given I'm not really going INTO the workforce, I'm going into the Arts, where homework IS actually useful. If I am doing a theater piece, the more time I spend practicing my lines, blocking, intonation, etc., the better it will be as a finished product. In, to pick a subject at random, math, why bother practicing solving equations 3-25 for the X-variable, when on the test, I only have to solve 3 and 4. If I can do it once, I obviously can do it quite a few times. I appreciate that some people need extra practice to engrain it in their minds, that's their learning style, and therefore homework for them is nessessary, but even then, once you pass addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you are beyond what the general population needs. I will NEVER use parabolas EVER again, but I was forced to learn how to solve them, transform them, and name them. I got a C in that class. A's and B's on tests. D on homework. Fair? You decide.
Anyway, school is starting and that means something for this blog. I will probably post more, and the posts will be more interesting overall. The comments on my day will be more in-depth, I will see my friends more often for Featured Friend canidates, and, of course, there is ALWAYS drama to rant on.
BTW Featured Friend: Ren, I luv you, since I had no choice in the matter, apparantly.
Stay Nerdy,
Brandon
