2/3 OF THE WAY DONE. YESH. Only Bio's left, and it's, umm, weird. I kinda don't get it, but I'm all for not caring. You all for not caring? CAUSE I AM. (I mean, I just said that. Jeesh. Copy cat.)
Interesting dilemma came up in the Rahlia household a mere FEW DAYS ago. It turns out the reason my brother wasn't receiving any information from his new middler school was because, eh hem, he wasn't actually registered.
Wait, what? Explanation, plz, district. I mean, you have one job and you can't even get that right? I'm not impressed. Not impressed at all.
Problem solved, though. My mother had to choose the alien boy an elective on the spot and they offered shitty choices. I mean, the most promising one was band, but my brother is in no way interesting in music/committed to sticking with playing an instrument/lazy and wouldn't want to carry his lil case around every day. So, what's your poison of choice? Music appreciation or, er, environmental technology I think it was? I mean, environmental technology? What is this madness? What the hell happened to good ol' fashioned technology? (Hah, old fashioned technology! Excuse me while I sew up my GUT.)
THE KID CANNOT TYPE. I NEED KEYBOARDING, PPL. I NEED BASIC WORD/POWERPOINT SKILLS, MAH GENTS. I refuse to spend his middle school years and the crappiest years of my life - aka highschool - teaching his royal poopness how to do his essays and whatnot.
I mean, he needs help for everything. What are they teaching them in school nowadays?
Oh yeah, and environmental technology? Wtf? What are you gonna make the little midgets do, go outside in the hot hot heat and assemble solar panels above Merritt's roof? Doesn't that sound a tad advanced for 6th graders? I'd rather have genetics with Salwey (who left), Art history w/Nabors (who also left), or Welcome to Japan, where I drank delicious decaf green tea that smelled like sunshine and awesome, where I watched Japanese movies and failed at chopsticks and met my friend's brother and wore "kimonos."
What's that you say? That one's gone too?
Ok then. Give him music appreciation. Since he can't appreciate music to the extent that he'd actually be interested in full-on band, make the little guy learn to appreciate it a bit more and then, who knows, maybe next year he'll be spitting flecks of saliva into his tuba.
(Man, I loooove the Tuba. It's so sexy.)
Oh yeah. And there aren't any trips to Disneyland. Instead, they take them to Seaworld. Still cool, but not as awesome.

The bio isn't so bad if you read the stuff before you do the worksheets.
ReplyDeleteI need help on the bio notecards, on the 2 after 1.1.2. What are we supposed to put? Are they 2 more cards or what?
ReplyDeleteUH... I don't actually know, I'm sorta stumped on those two... too. AND I didn't get what the website was for, or which information from the site should go on there at all.
ReplyDeleteWtJ, where poor unsuspecting shoes get stolen from poor unsuspecting kids. Where the teacher has a knack for noticing notes being passed. It was a great class.
ReplyDeleteAnd GSA's having a GSA trip to Dland this year. Some time in October, me thinks. The whole park's going to be GAY. I'm excited!
Environmental technology?! Shouldn't that be some sort of oxy-moron?!
ReplyDeleteDisneyland>>>>>>>>Seaworld
And I haven't even been to Seaworld! Although, I really do wanna see that Shamu...
If you love the tuba you'll definitely love the sousaphone. It's as if the sousaphone is the tuba's hott cousin.
I just kinda wrote stuff down from the site that wasn't on the card to begin with.
