Well, today was pretty hectic and I kind of realized that when I'm busy it really doesn't help me at all.
Visfest meeting was productive, Debate pissed me off because the times were wrong. And I realized that my e-mail quote is somewhat offensive, so I've got to change it.
BUT, during advisory when everyone went to the FAIL assembly I stayed in the room w/ some pretty cool people, we talked about tech academy and how it should be and how it is. We realized that there should be a screening process, as Esther said "this is a pathetic academy" we should live up to our standings as an academy, we've got people who don't do anything during class because they "don't feel like it". I'm not saying I am perfect, there are a number of days I just want to fall asleep in a corner and do nothing, however that isn't every day. I'm a firm believer in the quote "Let's take some time away to be ridiculous" I'm all for being an idiot for parts of a day, its what keeps us sane. Yet there are people that have no intelect what so ever (that I know of). It's kind of like they may be smart but they don't want to show it because it will make them look... stupid! Which is insane, because I think that intellegance is the greatest thing in the world. I like Alisons quote, how nobody wants to learn, they want to graduate highschool, which doesn't help them learn. I believe that the way the world works is stupid. I have to say that I'd run this country a completly different way, but this earth is too big to have functional soceities. I really just want to move into the hills of Montana and live with my family, not living like quakers but living rather than exsisting.
Gah, I don't know why I blog when I'm pissed/stressed/tired, but it really helps...

I think we really should do a patition. I e-mailed Esther during 3rd period about our whole letter. However, I'm quite scared that they will belittle our ideas & ask us what should be on that screeen exam? Overall, since tech academy is the future school, people should go through an interview and a screening test to know that they will make our academy look great instead of saying "yeah, it's just too hard", etc. etc.
If only people were smart enough to know that we only got one life and we might as well give it our all!
