As I decided to rest my asshole on the bench near the bus loop, this evening during lunch, I began to realize a few things. School, what is the point of it for me? I've already gained a majority of knowledge from this wonder called the internet. Yes, yes, I know, sounds ridiculous. But come on, I'm a 16 year old kid who happens to be more intelligent than the majority of this godforsaken school. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, it is the truth. When I called some kid an 'ignoramus', he was left dumb-struck. Sometimes it makes me feel sad. Being smart. I suppose I'm not... normal. Is it really normal for a person this young to have the mind of an adult?
I get along better with adults than I do people my age. Why? Because I can talk to adults' level. In the intelligence/maturity side of things at least, I'm not exactly tall. There are few instances in which I can actually have good conversations with a few people my age, and make jokes... Those are joyous times for me.
Another thing: Girls. Finding an attractive yet intelligent girl is a good accomplishment in my book. I've come across various girls who are certainly attractive (Puberty was kind to them, either that or implants.) and flirt various times with me, but I have to 'put them off', as I just don't like being with a dim-witted person. I feel silly trying to dumb myself down just to speak to him/her. Sophie is probably the only girl I've met who is intelligent. She's beautiful, and intelligent. The greatest catch in the world. I was never one for believing that high school relationships could work out well... But damn hell do I wish it would work out.
Touching back on the internet knowledge: It is true. I've learned more things on the internet than I have in all my life in school so far. I'm going to be a filmmaker and a writer. I know I'm not perfect, I know what I need to improve on. School has never told me what I needed to exactly improve on. It has never helped me. I wish the school teachers would tell me how the stuff we're learning would be put to use in our exact careers. I'm going to be a filmmaker. I don't need goddamn quadratic formulas to help me succeed in that shit. I'm only going to need this shit in the next school year, and the school year after that, and the school year after that. When I go to university, I'm sure some math will be involved. But the majority of the courses will be on stuff I actually WANT to learn about.
Sorry about that rant there. I suppose I'm just an ignorant young fool who just doesn't understand the importance of the Holocaust they call School. (That was probably taking it a little too far, I apologize.)
I don't know about other schools, but here in this county, they give students student numbers to stick around with them forever, basically. At least as far as I know. You use these student numbers for a lot of things. Access to the media center, school events, logging online to check your grades, shit like that.
Anyway, I think I'm done now.
Sorry for the TL;DR post.
Edit: By the way, I'm about to go over to my friend's house to chill and mooch; take all his Sprite. He wants me to help him with his children's book for english class or something. Ah, children's books, the early seeds, if you will, used in school education. Wait, what? I'm still a little tired as you can see.
Dammit, forgot to talk about Mrs. Rees. It went okay. She asked me if I have feelings of killing myself. I almost snapped at her when she said that. I'm not like that. I'm not that type of person. I know i'm Not.
