Cheating - Can You Blame Them?

Recently there was this whole shaba-dubba-ding-dong about a cheating "scandal" at school. Can you blame them (them=kids who cheated)? I don't condone cheating, but I understand why they did it. School is not a friendly learning environment anymore. It's an input-output machine. Sure, some teachers want to inspire learning in their students. But at the end of the day, it's all about numbers and letters. It's sad to think that mere letters have the potential to shape our lives.

On top of that, my school is waaaaay too competitive. If IQ tests were necessary, we would be studying for them. More so, we'd be PAYING to study for it.

Our worth/intelligence has all come down to numbers. Funny thing is, it's all contradictory. My GPA currently sits at a 3.05. Which in my school is absolute shit. However, I have an IQ of 132, meaning only 2% of the world is "smarter" than me. I call bs.

There are seven different types of intelligence. One of my favourite quote goes something like this: Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

A lot of people think I'm stupid. I used to think I was stupid. Sure, I say stupid things and do stupid things. But I am not stupid. I mean, the glass was see-through in a hotel room so that you could see someone taking a shit on the toilet seat. With the help of two bathrobes, the fire sprinkler (not sure what the technical word for that is), the laundry basket, a book, and this decorative piece of cloth, I was able to cover up the glass.

No one is stupid. NONE of YOU are stupid. All you got to do is mess around and find out what you're good at. Don't let how you fair at school define you.

PSYCHED FOR TONIGHT!!!!!

That is all.

(Yes, I am currently away that it's a sunday night, I have an AP Econ mock tomorrow, and I should sleep early)

Drink Before Quizzes/Tests/Exams!!!

In AP Lang, we had to take a mock. Which was inclusive of a MC section, and three essays. One essay was to be written on one day. And then the other two essays were to be written on another day. The day I had to write the two essays, was the day I had been drinking in school. So whilst writing the second essay, I was kind of tipsy. I sobered up by the time I got to the third essay. Out of all the three essays...guess which one I scored the highest on. BTW...I got a really good score for it (well, I got good scores for all three to be honest).

Moral of the story: drink before a test

100 Words Stories

As promised. I am now going to post the 100 words (no more, no less) stories I wrote. BTW...they are A LOT harder to write than you think they would be. I'm posting them from my worst story. And leaving the best for last. Excuse the titles. I kind of just slapped them on the document just so I know what paragraph is which story.

Cocaine:

Inhale. Exhale. Julie prepared herself before snorting coke for the first time in her seventeen years of existence. Tilting her head from left to right, she released the tension in her neck as the notes of released gas stirred the room. She cracked her fingers - all ten of them. Leaning in to sniff the powder, Julie paused. She pressed her fingers again. Inhale. Exhale. Her right, and then left nostril vacuumed the white dust. Standing up, she smiled at her friend. Julie then flailed. Her eyes rolled backwards into her head as she fell to the floor. Inhale. Exhale. Silence.

Pet

“Mommy,” she begged. “Can I please, please, please get an animal?” Her mum sighed. “We don’t have space for a pet.” The little girl cocked her head from side to side as ideas whirred inside her mind. Her expression suddenly animated, “What if we get a small animal?” After seeing her daughter’s pleading eyes, the mother decided to play along. “And what kind of animal would you like?”

Smiling, “How about a baby chick?” 

“But what will you do when it grows big?” Frustrated, the little girl pondered. Her eyes sprung out as she found a solution. “We’ll eat it!”

Technology:

“Mum,” you wail. “She is refusing to give me back my shirt.” Your mum shoots you a flustered glare. “Well what do you expect me to do?” Thinking about it, “Well, I started off old-school. I e-mailed her. Texted her. Called her. Posted on her Facebook Wall. Facebook messaged her.”

“There’s a difference,” your mother inquires. Ignoring her, you continue. “I whatsapped her. Posted the message on Instagram. Tweeted about it. Blogged about it. I even uploaded a video onto Youtube of me begging for my shirt back.”

“You do realise your sister’s room is next door?”

“And?”

Mile Run Win!

So much to blog about. Don't really have the liberty to do so. Oh well. All in due course I guess. Oh, so before I ran a mile in 13 minutes (around-ish), and yesterday I ran a mile in 6 minutes (around-ish). Basically, I cut my time by more than 50%. On top of that...I'm now 52kg (115lbs). However, my goal is 50kg (110lbs). I guess all I can really do is increase the intensity of my work outs and continue to eat healthy.

Anyways. I have been working on these SHORT 100 words stories. I'll post them up when I'm done. Which should be sooner rather than later.

Traumatised Dad

My parents and I were sitting down at the coffee table, conversing as usual. Somehow we landed on the topic of boys. They ask me what's the furthest I've been. With much prodding, I finally answer them and told them I have only made out. My dad's face = priceless. I don't think I've seen him so traumatised before.

Then he asked how many guys. I just laughed and walked away. His face could not look anymore perturbed.

If only he knew the truth.

I wouldn't even be dead. I would be tortured because death would be too easy.
