I only found this out when laura started feeding me cakes and I started to feel less sick! I needed a drink but my water bottle was&#8230; mouldy. Anyway I was stressed all morning about having not done a load of differentiation questions. When it came to the lesson they weren&#8217;t even taken in, we played with calculators all lesson. On top of that <a href=\"http:\/\/bouncykaz.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">bouncykaz<\/a> had come into school and I was feeling kind of odd around her. I&#8217;d wanted to give her a hug for a long long time and to offload all my troubles onto her &#8211; but somehow it didn&#8217;t feel right, I felt awkward and she definately didn&#8217;t have the time to wait around to listen to me whining. That and she&#8217;s on the moral high ground because of my &#8220;disgusting behaviour&#8221;  and the &#8220;person I&#8217;m becoming&#8221; again. Search me. I just need someone to cry over.<\/p>\n<p>I had a triple free in the afternoon and I thought as it&#8217;s christmas and I really wasn&#8217;t in the mood for working I&#8217;d help out the stage crew. That just stressed me out more. The stage crew is pathetic. It&#8217;s full of year 10 boys and girls who do nothing but argue over each others non-existent authority and use the dark spaces around the stage to fornicate with each other. Seriously, at one point there was a couple fondling each other in the sound loft, a couple in the lighting loft and a couple on control. They&#8217;ve taken to using some pretty vulgar slang on a regular basis and locking things away so nobody else can get to them. Not one of them has a grip on reality and they&#8217;re severely lacking leadership. All of them have outgrown their boots by several sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Wez tries his best, but he doesn&#8217;t have the time or patience to organise them and quite frankly they&#8217;re past help. I&#8217;d really like to take on the responsibility and sort them out, but I don&#8217;t have the time either &#8211; and I don&#8217;t believe I&#8217;d get any support from the school. I blame the problems completely on them. Anything that can not be quantified in a league table somewhere isn&#8217;t taken seriously. Anything extra-curricular is actively discouraged because it takes up time that could be used reading text books. I&#8217;ve been trying to say that there should be a member of staff watching over them for years. It seems it will take a serious injury for them to realise that there are 14 year olds who don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing playing with 230V electricity and climbing ladders unsupervised and big headed.<\/p>\n<p>I was feeling really odd for the rest of the day and just floated around trying to keep out of peoples way.<\/p>\n<p>I got home and fell asleep. When I woke up, three people wanted to know why I was ignoring them on MSN, Laura was offended that I hadn&#8217;t responded to her text message and <a href=\"http:\/\/mchicago.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">mchicago<\/a> was complaining that nobody contributes to any of the projects on iMen and he&#8217;s doing all the work himself. What he doesn&#8217;t realise is I&#8217;d love to spend all my time programming for iMen but I&#8217;m under some pretty serious pressure to get my grades up in my A-levels. Every time I spend time doing ANYTHING for iMen I&#8217;m feeling guilty about the backlog of maths work I don&#8217;t seem to be able to escape from. The other thing is I feel I never feel like there&#8217;s anything I CAN do. The programming is way over my head (all I know is it&#8217;s trying to factorise big numbers in a program distributed across computers), and anything I DO do I seem to be treading on someone&#8217;s toes and get yelled at for breaking something.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ve upset <a href=\"http:\/\/lauperr.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">lauperr<\/a> by not giving her enough attention. I knew this was going to happen. Perhaps I&#8217;m too wrapped up in myself to realise how other people are feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Wonchop is leaving school. More on this later, I just mentioned it now because he&#8217;s claiming I neglect him and don&#8217;t mention him on my livejournal.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else I&#8217;ve neglected? I&#8217;m going back to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today wasn&#8217;t too great.
