Purge; -5

What the fuck happened to Daylight Savings Time? It was pushed forward 3 weeks to save energy. Explain that one to me. Why did they plan that so suddenly? I say "suddenly" because the change in policy was so recent that my cellphone didn't even switch to the correct time, which fucked me over last night when I was studying. I was like, "Oh, it's only 9," having forgotten that my phone was wrong. (By the way, I can't change the time settings either.)

Anyway, I have a test at 1:30 PM. You know how we've been studying Baudelaire for so long? Anyway, I got those siyats for my back. And good thing. I don't have to get surgery. Peeling much better now. Peeling good.

Sorry, video reference. Anyway, Porter-san looked at tests as that they were "celebrations of knowledge." I am personally fucking glad when they're over. I look at them as being purges. You're simultaneously purging your ignorance and your knowledge-- by submitting the test, you're telling the teacher that you know something, and when you're taking the test, you're removing that shit from your brain so that it doesn't stress you ever again, unless you have to keep it (e.g. for your major//final exam). You know how everyone says World History II honors sophomore year was a great class despite everything? Haha, I don't remember a thing from it. Generalizations, the 10 billion facts that I stored into my short-term memory, yeah right. You know, people used to ask me whether going to Catholic school for 8 check that 9 years prepared me for the Prep, and they'll probably ask me whether going to the Prep prepared me for college. How the hell should I know? It certainly told me that real life is better than packing together 1000 male versions of a species and working them to death. e.g. that I don't ever want to work that hard again. And I'm not!

And yet, here I am, 33 minutes (until the test). Like Juvenile said, "Call me big daddy when you back that thang up." Okay, that's pretty unrelated.

Oh, and the -5 is the random penalty I got on my math test. Pretty minor but pretty annoying when you're not doing so hot at school.

maybe others were just exaggerating a beet. peeling strespul, because they lack sleep, they are always lacking sleep. they have to take their bitameen.
