Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me. The rest of the time, I wonder what's wrong with everybody else. There are a lot of really stupid people in the world, and they all seem to be telling me how stupid *I* am. Sure, I don't do well in school. I slack off on my homework, get C's and D's. It's not that I don't know any of it. It's simply that I don't care to do any of the shit work that is required of me to get a good grade. I don't rank myself on grades. I know what I know; I learn what I wish to learn. Everything I need or want to know, I know. Plain and simple. I have learnt more information, knowledge and wisdom, attributes that can be used in life, OUTSIDE of the classroom and textbook. Sometimes, I would read all the textbook that wasn't going to be covered in class simply because the topic interested me. I know more about the workings of governmental structures from reading books and my online news server. They say that "history is a way of not repeating the past" and that may be true. But if we end up repeating that past, then we obviously brought it on ourselves anyways. Why do I need to sit through a class to learn about the names of all these dead people that I am never going to meet, nor would I want to? Who needs to take a physical biology class, except for the people who are going to dedicate their lives to biology? I don't care about the growth life of a flower or the way genes are transmitted from frog to frog. So, I got a D in biology. That doesn't mean I am stupid. That just means that I suck ass in biology. I have gotten low grades in subjects I am good at too. That is simply because I didn't apply myself. I apply myself when I feel I need to apply myself. Every other time, I am just not into the busy work. That's not to say I am not interested in the topic. I payed attention to history whenever I would show up to class. (about a third of the time) I payed closer attention to the teacher than I do to my own pets. But when it came to writing a bunch of shit to PROVE that I know the subject, I just didn't feel it necessary. I know what I know. I know a lot. Hell, I know more than the average adult does. I do not see why a degree is necessary in life, especially since most of the people I have met with a degree don't have the first clue about what they are doing. I know what I am doing at all times. So many people are blindly pushing their way through life, just because they have been told that that is the only way to live. I would rather not worry about pushing and shoving through all the processes, but flow to wherever life takes me. Worrying about grades and what others think will only wear you out and kill you off nice and easily. I don't wish to stress myself out by proving myself to anyone. |
