So Ive turned into one of those weird people who cries in my car. GREAT

My Mum hung up a photo of my Dad above the computer and now it just makes me sad every time I see it. Which is all the time because Im always on the computer :\

Im trying to think of a polite way to say to my friend that Id rather drive myself somewhere and meet him there, because I dont wanna listen to Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj for an hour.

I'm fretting about the college I'm trying to get into. It's out of state so the tuition is just a tad insane and I'll have nobody I know within a six hour radius. But it has such a great music program! Montana State. Sheesh. Any of you know anything about it? Cuz I would love to know if the people there are going to freakin destroy me or not. At least so I could be prepared and whatnot.

Congrats man.

So I have to lose 8 hours pay at work because I cant go in today coz Ive done something to my back and couldnt even bend to put my pants on this morning. So fucking painful, and now Ill have no money next week either.

So I got a letter from my high school notifying me that I will not get credit for my fucking theatre arts class due to no less than 23 absences. Normally I'd say "lol theatre arts," but in this case, I actually need it to graduate since the school board mandates at least one "fine arts" credit be necessary for graduation. I've missed all my other classes at least 15 times, but I missed this one more because it's first period and if I go in late, I often miss it.

Here's the school's policy: you lose credit after ten days of absences in a semester. I've missed well over that in every class every year. In fact, last year I missed English like 30 times in a semester and I still received credit. I also never had below a 94 in that class. My lowest grade in theatre arts was a 95.

I know this is completely my fault, but I don't think I'm unjustified in complaining. After all, what gives? Why this? Why now? What's the point of having a rule that is selectively enforced? That's just cruel and inconsistent. Have the rule or don't have it. WTF?

It wasn't until today that I finally realized that credit is awared more or less at the discrection of the teacher, even though the school has tons of rules regarding when students are to be rewarded and are to be denied credit that the teachers are supposed to fucking follow. And this isn't the first time I've seen teachers bend around rules or simply ignore them when it comes to credits. I know my chemistry teacher kept students from failing by blatantly adding credit for something they never did, or she would give you extra points if you were close to the next letter grade.

I'm still going to graduate somehow. I mean, I can always make up the half of the course credit that I was denied online in a matter of weeks at no expense other than time. But still, wow, what an unnecessary loop they're going to probably make me jump through.

Why'd you miss so many classes?

There's no sort of waiver system to keep your credit? While I was in high school I missed an average of 15-20 days a semster and all I had to do was turn in a form saying I was "sick" and I got to keep my credit.

by form, do you mean a note signed by some sort of doctor? that's what I need to nullify my absences, and I'm really not ill or anything. Anyway, it's too late to turn that in now. The first semester's over. And yeah, I'm the same way. I don't know if it's because you had a bad immune system or just because you hated school and never wanted go, but I'm definitely the latter case.

I miss like a day a week because I really can't stand going. They're excused insofar as my parents call me off as "sick." I'm aware it's totally my fault for this, and I'm prepared to do whatever I must to make up that vital arts credit, but seriously? What a joke. It's not like these sort of absences from me are anything new. I'm mostly complaining about the pointlessness of such a rule, but whatever. Enforced education is not education.

At my school we didn't need any kind of doctor excuse. Pretty much we just had to turn in the waiver form and we would get credit regardless of what was on it. I missed a lot of school for both of those reasons. I'd get sick enough to miss a day or two and then decide to just take the entire week off because I hated school.

I'm not looking forward to it, but I guess I'll have to find some way to manage.
