The Hazards of Love

New Favorite Album: The Hazards of Love.. and also self-named Telekinesis!

So I have given up practically on ever writing well enough to get a 8 on any of my English essays, really it will never happen. My ideas are not original or well thought out enough for the AP rubric, at least for English. I can write fantastically for World, but really that is all about memorizing information and writing it eloquently, and delivering your point. In English, you have to make it "sexy" as Plotinsky would put it. It is freaking hard. Even when I had my pretty interesting point (at least I thought) of Americans watching medical shows to fulfill their messiah complex, I think I got a yawn from the class. Bother.

Also, I don't happen to excel excel in any particular area. I am what you would call a well rounded student.

Also, another thing. I hate when people speak for everyone else, especially when they are fixing a label on the entire group. Like privileged. I hate that word. When people speak of CAP they are always calling us a group of privileged, upper middle class, suburban (and often white), unappreciative, take for granted, kids.

First of all, upper middle class. jeez Please speak for your own socioeconomic class and don't lump everyone together because I would not consider my self that particular label. Yes, I suppose I live in the suburbs. NO. I am not white. I happen to appreciate my opportunities and I don't take those for granted unlike some of my peers. One person I know said that he doesn't know what the whole hub hub about the economy was because he was not affected about it and he doesn't understand why all his friends are so freaked out. That is someone who I would call "privileged" someone who doesn't need to worry about finances in a time of economic crisis.

I am a kid, but I am not so young that I don't know what I am talking about. I happen to know a lot about the economics of this country at least from my own position. And so people in my Research class who speak for the whole class, describing us as disconnected from the rest of society because we are protected in our bubbles. WHOA. Speak for yourself, and yourself only.

Hm. I just read everything that I just wrote and I sound a bit too self-righteous and perhaps a bit pretentious. But in actuality, I do believe in what I wrote and I think it's logical for people to get pissed when other people speak for them and label them something when they are not.

Tangent:
APs. lamesauce, they are terrible and I have 3. And some people are taking more. Why are they doing that? Why would they do that?

Tangent:
30 Rock is the best television show ever since Gilmore Girls, Ugly Betty, Pushing Daisies.. okay actually it is up there with all of those shows.

God. Will I ever get a 8?
