As if forcing a load of unmotivated socially retarded teenagers to do exams wasn't enough 3 months ago, the process of a slow and soul-destroying routine begins again. When I entered JFS's iron gates today and was greeted by the customary Simple-Jude begging to see my ID and flinching when I reached inside my bag as though I was a terrorist about to pull out a gun was somewhat comforting. I was honestly slightly excited to start Year 13. Although Summer 2010 (lusms) was awesome, I missed learning, reading, Mr. Bremner <3.... At 8.30 this morning, I realised all my pre-conceptions of a new start were utter bollocks. Spending the first two hours of my day doing meaningless administrative work (which just means playing games on miniclip) was a bundle of fun. But wait, JFS stealing valuable education time from me? Never. Hold the phone, no, that's not all they're prepared to steal, I've worked out that this weekend I will be spending over £200 in WHSmiths, let alone the £42.50 I will have to spend to re-mark one of my drama papers that was 2 marks off an A, which the school would have been prepared to assist me with if it wasn't for the new con-dem government. Yay you Cameron :|.
Then there was that familiar feeling, oh, you know, when you're sitting in English, and you recognise that every word the teacher is saying will somehow help you when that fateful June afternoon arrives, yet you simply can't fight the sudden weight of your eyelids... and... and... ZZZZ. Hmm, that's why I got a B at as level... nothing changes :/.
I left school after 5th period today due to the lack of organisation from the JS department (well there's always a silver lining) and trudged mindlessly down the windy path as though a dementor had sucked out my soul. Maybe if I had the same spring in my step that I had this morning I wouldn't have missed the 204. Grrr.
So, you see where I'm generally coming from, another year jamming with the uniform Nazis, the Miller teddy bear, and willingly being aware of the fact that we are simply another cog in the works so JFS can remain strong in 'The Times: Official State School Results Table'. Happy (Jewish (Free School)) New Year, it's going to be a good'un...
The word 'sabotage' originated from workers in France throwing their clogs 'sabots' into the works, i.e. the machines they were working on, to cause damage to the machinery during industrial disputes. So, by being a "clog in the works" you are in fact being a saboteur.
ReplyDeleteI was also slightly excited to start year 12. That was last year, Miss Medina, we're the top dogs (or cats, in your case) now :)
