Sep. 6th, 2001 04:26 pmGrr, school.
Why do they have to be sooo slow?! I am *so* wasting all my time there... give me, ooh, about two months to read through my textbooks and complete all the exercises, and I could take the AS level then... why can't we work at a decent pace? They keep whining about how little time we have to cover the stuff, and then they crawl along teaching it...
I can only assume it's because some people in the class need it that slowly, but I was trying not to be arrogent... looks like that's going to fail miserably. And then they have the gall to tell me off for playing Nethack while I'm waiting for them to tell me something I don't know. True, I shouldn't have zoned out *quite* as much as I had, but when I did look up I could see where we were coming from - true, it's impolite, but so is wasting my time so thorougly!
Mutter. But I probably ought to be paying attention to them even if it is going to send me into a catatonic state, therefore doing other stuff is Wrong, therefore I feel bad about doing it. Can't win, grrr.
I wish they could just give me the textbooks, get on with their paperwork, and let me have a couple of minutes with them now and then when I do get stuck on something, or only go to the lessons on bits I don't quite get. I thought this would end, doing A-levels, but it's just intensified - or maybe it hasn't, and it's just that I've grown impatient because I've *had* my holidays, now I want to do some *work*... and I find that my holidays were vastly more productive than my time at school.
And I bet I won't even be allowed to do the homework from other lessons in other ppl's classes when they're explaning the bits I don't need... well, I can get away with the physics homework 'cos it's on a sheet rather than in a big obvious textbook. (Even got into trouble today for trying to be efficiant in carrying of textbooks and momentarily failing.)
Of course, superficially my life is going wonderfully. Let Helena sit next to me in Economics rather than saving the seat for Sath, and it turned out to be a good call, she hung around with us the rest of the day, she's in my Physics group (in fact, she's in all my lessons and she's also doing Geography), and so on and so forth. I just wish school was more... *challenging*!
I need to find some decent maths and physics books to read, or stuff to do that doesn't look utterly unproductive in maths and physics lessons. This is probably the only way I'm going to survive the next two years, unless it gets better.
