I think the dumbest thing of the week is my geometry class. Now I know that it is more than a week, but it's just so asanine! Today, WEWEREHAVINGALOTOFFUNDOINGPROOFS....okay, breathe TF, breathe.....and we got points taken off because my partner was complainging. Oh woe is me! If only I didn't get points taken off! Too bad I already have two (maybe more) zeros and will still pass with a 98! Boo Hoo!

I had to suffer through the Freshman Pre-Ap Geometry teacher who must be Satan's mistress or something. She tests harder than the regular Pre-Ap geometry teachers. Also her teaching strategy pretty much equates to this. Know how to find the area of a polygon with more than for sides? No? You stupid little Morons, figure it out. I'll give you a test over it tommorow. I heard one year some guy got so pissed at her he attacked her and broke his arms. I became her "biting sarcastic remark whipping boy", but whenever she gave me one I'd give one rioght back that was usually even worse. She got really pissed but technicly couldn't do anything about since I was agreeing or complying with what she had said.

I did Geometry in 8th-grade... proofs are a ***** to do... My teacher wasn't so bad though. this was his method: - One person in every class is picked as a scapegoat, basically someone who never does their homework, sleeps, plays games, blah blah blah. - The rest of the people in the class can do whatever they want.... homework is "said" to be checked twice every semester and those checks will go down as like 10% of the grade, which made most people do the homework every day... however it was never checked, making us very angry at the end of the year . - Tests+quizzes were basically the only grades in the class then... and it seemed to be based on what my teacher "thought" you should get... Your grade on every test basically wouldn't vary more than 5 points or so... no matter how many you got worng or right....

Man, an even bigger coincidence just happened. I was at my friends house the other day for a big friend meeting dinner thing, and he says a couple weeks ago he lost his phone at v-ball practice. I say did you find it? What kind is it? He goes yeah I got it back, it's a nokia. Then I said have you ever heard of Tactics Ogre? He said he has it, and then I asked about the sight and he said he never been here. Pretty strange, I knew KoL lives in VA (right) just a major coincidence, just like the last one I posted.

I'm sorry, could you elaborate on the coincidence? I don't think i get it. I live in VA too btw.
The Dumbest thing of the week happened in Spanish class. Now, we're no ordinary spanish class. We are the PIB Spanish III class. This is just like AP, we're smarter than the average bear, but this teacher thinks differently. Ms Clavijo, the teacher, thinks that since we are in PIB we are the supergeniuses of the world. We were given one day to prepare a three minute oral in spanish on a celebrity, and it needed to be memorized. Also, a two-page essay was to be turned in along with it. She is the DEVIL.
On topic, the dumbest thing: The guy in front of me raised his hand after we were assigned another impossible task. He said that since he had just told another teacher how nice ms clavijo was, he should be excused from the assignment. The conversation went something like this.
Guy: "I said you were nice, can i be excused?" Teacher: "You were lying, correct?" Guy: "Well, i guess so." Me: "Shut up, you'll get us extra work." Teacher: "Well, i don't really care. I'm not trying to be nice. I'm trying to teach spanish. If you want to leave my class, go ahead." Guy: "I've tried, you're the only pib spanish teacher this block. Teacher: "Well, it doesn't matter. It's not like I will miss you." Me: "That's harsh." Teacher: "I wouldn't miss you either, Mike. In fact, you could all leave my class, I need an off-block anyway. I wouldn't miss a single one of you."
Ultimate bitchdom right there. Most of our teachers love our class because we're very courteous and cooperative, but she is basically insisting that we leave PIB Spanish III and opt to regular spanish classes. Sorry, i really needed to vent.
