Aggrivating Afternoon

So today was quite philosophy-filled.

First revelation: People are aggrivating, thus I aggrivate.
It's so true! I mean, despite what some people might think, I used to be a pleasant kid. I really was. In fact, I still can be. I KNOW people think I'm aggrivating  at times. If you're one of those people, odds are...it's nothing against you. It's my way of reacting to other aggrivating people. I probably should channel my aggrvation somewhere else, but being obnoxious has been and always will be fun as heck.

Second revelation: Technology has killed social skills.
Who know it? Our parents/grandparents were right!
Every blue day I wait for my friend to come from her class before I go to my bus. Well, she decided to take a long time and we were the last ones on the bus. So, we couldn't sit together. I had to sit by this sophomore who was texting and listening to her iPod. Really? I don't even know this girl's name! I sat there the whole bus ride thinking to myself like really? iPods hinder conversations without the word "creep" being thrown in there. So you have secret conversations with people via text! This is what our world has come to!!?!?? Then the worst part of this is that it makes you think. It turns obnoxious, deep-thought haters into deep-thinking philosophers who come up with blog posts while on their bus!

Well no more revelations: just annoyances.
First of all (because it's the shortest): I just hurt my knee so freakin bad. My grandma decides to call when my mom is unable to answer the phone, so I have to jump out of the nearly-immobile chair and smash my knee on the desk. HURTS SO BAD!

Then BIOLOGY HONORS.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!!!!
I can memorize the info, but nothing makes sense at all! What makes even less sense is how I got an 88 on the last test. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?! I didn't understand any of the stuff we learned!
This is what I think I'm learning. Note: there's no notes in front of me at the moment, so if I were taking the test now, these would be my answers!
Glycolysis makes ATP? NO! It makes energy that makes ATP? I don't know? Krebs cycle rotates 2 times? Calvin Cycle rotates 6 times or else the atom isn't stable? Krebs Cycle produces NAD and H, and they combine to make NADH? Some type of cellular respiration drops phosphate groups that make glucose? What!?!?! Glucose breaks into pyruvic acid because it can't diffuse through the mitochondria membrane in its regular state. This is glycolysis?
If anybody reading this notices before 3rd hour Wednesday that I'm hopelessly lost in this class, just please, help me! I'm a smart kid who can't handle B's and C's on my report card, much less a GPA less that 3.9.
Then today I'm sitting there getting ready to take notes when I hear "..this is your last class before the test" WHAT!?!?!

Why? That's my question? WHY did I say "Well even if I don't want to major in anything remotely close to biology, maybe I should take Bio Honors instead of normal freshman science."? WHY did I listen to my science teacher last year when she told me I could handle this class? Why didn't I drop this class when I realized that everything I'm learning is pure memorization rather than understanding? WHY am I losing my mind over this!??!!?!?

Biology is confusing. (This is the short version of it)


Ok...rant over.
And before I have people wanting to throw detentions at me for criticizing a teacher. NOT LEGAL! AGAINST THE RULES! I am not criticizing my teacher, I am simply saying that I do not understand anything. Actually, I'm criticizing myself because I'm so lost. And to clarify, I do not have DVP as a teacher.....

MAN I complain a lot. Just ignore the endless ranting on this...
