Going Into Lockdown-School Mode

by shiningsunnyday, Apr 25, 2016, 3:47 PM

Yea. To all my teachers -- my OCD-terminal English teacher, my APUSH teacher whose dictionary doesn't have the definition of an A-deserving student, my Bio teacher whose tests never reflect anything taught in class, to my tree-murdering BC teacher who prints endless heaps of worksheets, tremble in fear. Cause, the Michael Sun, that one person who somehow defied all odds and got a 4.0 last semester (despite having the hardest APUSH/English/Bio teachers), is back.

I will choke you. I will lock in on you. I will do everything for my grades.

I'm fed up. I'm maddened by this whole school system. Everything. :censored: everything. I don't care. But I will destroy everything, cause I'm going to embrace the black mamba mentality.

Sleep? Are you kidding me? I'll sleep when I see that magic number of 5, that magic letter of A, even if I die doing so. Everyone, tremble in fear.

For all my blog followers

I know none of this makes sense. I know everything I’m cramming is pointless after the exam. I know I’m lying to myself as a problem-solver, lying to the philosophies of AoPS, lying to colleges. So why am I torturing myself into doing it? No. I'm not doing this just because of that score out of 4. I don't want to be thought of someone who has to conform against his will. That's not why. I'm killing myself for this because I'm the most unreasonable, illogical, extreme person there is. I can’t be described with reason. I’ve long transcended the norm or the average.

Michael, love this feeling, the feeling of being dead every morning you wake up after 3 hours of sleep, the feeling of self-guilt when you drink those red bulls, the feeling of dragging your beaten body around everyday.

I hate myself. I hate this whole system. I hate the irony of my school's mission statement -- "the courage to chase your dreams." I'm tortured. I'm hated. I'm misunderstood. But I'll still do it.

I would still try to sleep a decent amount. I had that kind of mentality recently but just found myself too worn down, which led to procrastination, which led to less sleep and the cycle repeated.

So in short, I would still try to get a decent amount of sleep.

Also, I need to start prepping seriously for APs as well haha.

Sleep... that word... sounds familiar...

Sleep is important to brain-function, so it would be best to get at least get 7-8 hours of sleep each day.

To get good grades in the humanities, I believe that teacher-student relations are VERY important. If you know how exactly what the teacher wants from you, the A is yours. That's my experience at least.

Good luck on your AP's. I have AP bio but I'm too lazy to complete my review book lol.

Omg can't tell you how much that's true, basically why my 9th grade English teacher and this year's English and bio teacher simply does. not. give. me. an. A.

At least make sure you get sleep before the test. Summer's almost here - oly geo and amsp will be a great relief for you, so remember you have those to look forward to. Best of luck on APs!

:wacko:

Try talking to the teachers? If that doesn't work, tell the principal because these teachers cannot teach. You can ask other kids how they manage their work or change schools :) I think some teachers are stubborn and won't listen to students, so it is best to change schools. Ask these questions:
You: What's the purpose of a test if it only covers what we didn't learn?
You: How do you even expect us to do these worksheets?
I <3 u sleep because you cured my fever <3

Changing schools is not possible since I'm already a sophomore, and this school is the best international school in Shanghai. Also many students survive the worksheets by copying and rephrasing things, I was caught once and ever since then my teacher pays extra attention on me plus I don't really have anyone to copy off of. :( Some teachers are great here it's just that luck is not on my side.

Well, even if I tried to do such a soul-sucking activity, I would still lack the discipline to do it.

I also lack the discipline to do it. But I still do it... What's wrong with you Michael? Wait, who's talking???

does telling your teachers this not work

Yes yes that was originally my plan, to tell her that I know of many students who also copy, which I named the Salem Witchcraft Plan or the Communist Red Scare Plan. But then I realized, well... that would be means of questioning her authority and protesting, and she wants to rule with an iron-fist. That's why no one has ever questioned her authority. Also her grading is sometimes based on her personal opinion on the student, so that as well... Also she might tell the principal and stuff and things will just go out of hand real quick (historical events back this up).

The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
