2005-04-08 - 8:09 a.m. Let's see. Last night, I went to a Jr. High concert and endured about 30 of the most horribly performed classical songs ever. I felt sorry for the memory of Bach and Chopin and all the greats. Their music was slayed. That's okay, they were like eleven to thirteen years old, so I can understand. The choir has gotten really bad too though. I was in that choir in Jr. High and we so weren't that bad. Or maybe we were and it just seemed like we were good because our skills were at the appropriate level for being twelve. This crazy little Chinese lady teaches choir there. She should retire. We all hated her guts when we were in her class. She is crazy insane. She is like every little Chinese person that has ever been made fun of in a movie all put together to make one lean mean scary machine. She's like Edna Mode from 'The Incredibles', only Edna liked the supers and was just funny, whereas Mrs. Lee (that's the mad Chinese ladie's name.) hates me and is mean. She hated me when I was in her class and last night, Aimee and I went to say hi to her and she looked at me like the recurring nightmare that she thought had gone forever. And then, when I told her I was homeschooled and didn't go to regular school, she said, "That's because you were wild child and your mommma hates you." *Looks shocked* Isn't that E V I L!!! I was like, "Ah, Mrs. Lee, I was NOT wild, YOU were wild and my mom loves me to ribbons thank you!" And she turned around to answer the door and ignored me. So Aimee and I left. This is why I hate public schools. Not that every teacher in a public school is a short, viciously cruel, crazy Chinese woman, it's just, I'm a hyper person. I hate the class room setting. I hate sitting still. I like to be among people, talking, laughing, learning. I like hands on. I love being able to joke around with my teachers. I hate being still and silent. This is not good material for a public school. I am not a public school girl. My school totally fits all of my needs, social and educational. Because even in the Tuesday class room setting, it's so loose and not strict at all. They just kind of let the students be, but we behave ourselves and respect the teachers. That's why we are able to just sort of be and we aren't forced into total silence. Our school genuinly cares about our opinions and I love that. I don't feel like some stupid kid that's just a part of the herds of nameless children they push through school. I feel like I matter. And all of my teachers at my school think I'm hilarious, not wild. True, my math teacher and I kind of have a love hate thing going on. I think I intimidate him, but he's still really cool about it and just sort of lets me be. And I love that. I mean, there's always that line you don't cross as a student. You have boundaries. But, I don't cross them, I just walk them. And I guess that's seen as 'wild' by some and 'hilarious' by others. Whatever. I'm venting. So now I'm done and I'll move on. You have no idea the bad memories that I got from re-visiting that school. I have never been more glad to be homeschooled in my life. I hate the atmosphere, I hate the teachers, I hate the whole thing. I hated it then and I hate it now. People who don't understand why people chose to be homeschooled, have never BEEN homeschooled. It's addicting. And true, it isn't for everyone, some people LOVE public school. But I just am not some people, and homeschool is deffinately what I need. I love it to bits. And now I shall officially move on. My brother went to magic mountain today, and Phantom of the Opera came in the three dollar theater. I'm working on convincing me ma to take us to the movie, just us girls, but come to think of it, I'm in more of a "Robots" mood, then a "Phantom" mood, because I don't want to cry today. And I've been wanting to see Robots forever. It's just so much more money then the three dollar theater. So i don't think Robots will fly and Phantom might. I get to see Cameron tonight. I'm getting my hopes WAY up because he told me he'd be there. But his schedule is so screwy with work and everything, there is no guarentee so I don't know. I never know and it drives me crazy. But wouldn't it be loverly? I'm so excited for the dance anyway, because Scott and Brenton are coming and they make life interesting and fun. They have like energizer bunnies inside of them that makes them go and go and go and go and never stop. They always have some crazy idea that makes the whole expirience totally fun and crazy. I love those guys. They make the dances so much more fun then if they didn't come. My voice isn't completely back yet. I miss it. *tear* But it's far better then it was and I can at least be heard and understood. I hope it goes away even more tonight. Okay, that's about it from me. I think I've told you all that was on my mind and you even got a full dose of venting. Grr. I'm still hurt about that stupid woman's comment. I AM NOT WILD! Grr. Okay, I am officially done and I never need to see her again. Thank Boo for that. Okay, I'm agoin'! *Kisses*
