Songs to Remember: Collection - Kevin

        I forgot to say this in the past couple posts but I'd like to thank Ct for being reasonable with me. Like, having the same sense of humor as me as I talk shit about the movies we watch in Bio and stuff.

        Psych, we continued another day of watching "Juno." It's still going good, there's some dramatic parts to it that make it seem more sincere over the comedy that it portrays. We'll finish the movie by tomorrow, then start on another movie I guess.

        English. The complaining that my classmates and I do in our group-chat on Facebook is justified, just by today. Usually, the teacher gives us some studying tips the night before a quiz or test or essay or whatever. He posts it on schoolloop. Last night, he did not, only posting the homework assignment which was to read. I suspected that it was because this constructive response was not going to be a big deal.

        I was wrong. First of all, it really was timed. He gave us exactly, 20 minutes or so, maybe 15, I kinda forgot the time. Secondly, what he was hinting to us, moving us towards a direction to think about in terms of teen grief or a psychological disorder in terms of discussing it all AS A BOOK, that was for nothing. Because, the prompt he gave us was entirely different. Instead of "Tell me if Holden is experiencing teen grief or actually has psycho disorder and explain why," it's "You're an expert in psychoanalysis and a person comes in with the case of Holden. She has been visiting him multiple times for months now and presents you with the book as his transcript. Diagnose whether he has teen grief or anti-social disorder and give a treatment."

        I'm sorry, Honors English? Or AP Psychology? Apparently the prompt wasn't made by him, it was part of the "Smarter-balanced" system bullshit. He's like "I'm not making you do it, the government does." Oh, did the other Honors English classes do the same thing we did? A week and a half before the end of the school-year? Where there are apparently people aren't allowed to do re-writes anymore and some are on the verge of failing?

        And yeah, I did get down only one sentence for my conclusion, which was "Treatment for Holden is Psychoanalysis." That was probably the stupidest part out of it all. The teacher explained in class before that we'd have to, for our conclusion, we connect it back to a bigger theme and shit, the book as a whole. When he gave us the prompt, DrewN asked how we were supposed to connect it to a bigger picture if we're talking patients and real-life instead of referring to the book as a book. "You're conclusion would be, the treatment."

        The whole time he talked about the prompt, misleading us on what we were gonna write about, I just kept thinking of JonTron saying his trademark "STOP." Jesus fucking Christ, it pissed me off. Even, even my classmates have wondered what's going on in this dude's head. Like, people literally asked "Who is he?" "What is he?" I'd like to know too.

        Anyways, enough of that cancer for today. Bio was the polar opposite of this, where we basically could just do whatever we wanted. Some dudes played Smash in class again today, essentially what I wished I could do. Instead, I'm thrifting through bulk work, and procrastinating. Still have the Bio stuff to do, which is due on the 25th/20th, 20th if we want a bit of extra points.

        Math was the usual again, I actually got reminded that I needed to pick up a Calculus textbook. It's fucking thick, no lie. If I gotta carry that around next year, fuck me, man. Uhh, lunch was a bit on the off-side today, as well as yesterday. I thought yesterday was a one-time thing, but, guess it's a bit more than that. Ek said said we should go have lunch at our old hang-out spot. You know, like last year. I'm not sure if she just wants to reminisce about old days, or for fun, or, just wants to be alone from the other cast members for a set time, or whatever. I don't know. Hopefully this ain't a permanent thing. I don't think it is.

        History is garnering a bit more work than I'd like. We got another art assignment due next week. We gotta draw pictures in a 5-point box. Umm, straight-forward but, I just don't feel like it's worth my art efforts. I've put in a lot more effort for History this year than I would've liked, for example, the board game shit. That, was a barrel of monkeys alright. Also there was a quiz today, where, after checking my answers afterwards, I found out I didn't do as well as I thought I did, heh.

        And finally, Chinese, where we had test re-takes and went to the art show. Like, the annual school art show where you can look at art students made over the year. Remember? Like freshman year. I remember. Umm, yeah we spent around 5 minutes in there, aaand then it was time to leave.

        Alright so. I've been holding off on things, a lot of things actually, both good and bad. I've been holding off on doing work, most at least. I've also been holding off on about, an hour of my naps, which is good. Instead of going from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, I go from 4:00 PM to 6:00 or 6:30 PM. And, I don't even need coffee. Maybe not yet, maybe, tomorrow or something 'cause I gotta get to making my KDT senior letters and start on that Bio work, which I am holding off.

        And yeah. Saturday, I (and others) will be going to Jb's house from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, uhhh, just, help putting together the gifts for the seniors. Other than that, nothing really else to expect from the weekend. Oh yeah, Skype call my cousin for once. Alright, that's about it for now. See ya.

        Ohhh, almost forgot to mention. Tomorrow, club group cabinet members and official are supposed to meet in the library. Tomorrow. I was informed of this today by the current KDT president. Yeah, um, not sure when it is, maybe lunch or SSR. It's nice to know when it is, but after looking through the school website, announcements, and the email which was shared to those who have to go (the email was literally just a spreadsheet of the outline for the meeting, no timestamps or anything), apparently there's nothing that says what time. So, just gonna have to keep my phone off "do not disturb" which is really nice when you don't like getting stressed off of stupid notifications. Anyways, see ya.
