8th grade sucks - volume 3

I'm really not trying to be negative with all these 8th grade sucks post but i know it looks that way. i am just venting which i guess you could also consider being negative. but whatever.

okay...so science fair projects are stupid. i have never done one because of switching schools so much but i cannot think of a good reason for them. how will doing these pointless projects help us in life? how will it help me become a photographer? because that is all I'm really worried about. what makes me really mad is that they are only making the AG students do a science fair project and i really don't think that is fair. everyone is just as capable as we are to do one. we are not AG students because we are necessarily smarter than everyone else. we are AG students because we work our butts off to complete our work and study and do the best job we can. basically being an AG student means loading lots more stress on yourself. and what is our reward for all this hard work? even harder work and longer tests and stupid projects, that's what. some reward, huh? i don't even want to be an AG student anymore. it sucks. but anyhow...i am considering writing a letter to our principle about these science fair projects. i would really love if i could convince lots of people to write one too so I'm not all alone. I'm not really sure if my one letter would make a difference. and i don't want to just seem like a whiny student who doesn't want to do their work because that is not at all how i am. i will do my work but i have a problem with doing pointless work that only 1/4 of the 8th grade has to do. oh, and did i mention that we are supposed to conduct our experiments during Christmas break? umm....yeah right. this is what i meant by school is consuming my life. you cant even have a break or be at home or anything without having to worry about school. now i am not usually like this about school. i usually just keep my mouth shut and do my work but it is getting ridiculous. they expect too much from us and they expect everything to be perfect. and i am not blaming all of this on the teachers because i know they have no control over some things. but still. i just cannot handle all this. i am usually really good about getting work done and stuff. i don't know what to do. if i can convince myself writing a letter would actually do some good i might do it but i don't know. i wish Patrice would do it for me. :) shes a good writer. me, not so much. i just need a break! and not a break with projects or anything school related. a real break. i am hoping thanksgiving break will at least be relaxing. one more week...

oh yeah...i almost forgot the positive. 1 more week till thanksgiving break, 1 more month till Christmas break, 1 more year till high school and 4 more years till college! (well, nevermind about the 4 years till college. that's kind of depressing.)
