Just kill me now

Greetings loyal readers (I assume that there is a chance you have read my last post and that is close enough)
I am currently in what could only be described at a brightly coloured hell. Of course I am refering to high school.
Yesterday I was forced to sit through a total of 3 hours of speechs all pretty much identical to the last, and today there is another 3 hours planned.
You may say things like; "I don't remember school being that bad", or if your not someone who has selective memory or has compleatly blocked them out with psychosis, "How did they manage to make school more mind numbingly boring?"
To the former I say, shut up. But the latter will take a more in depth explination.
Well the class, as anyone who remembers school well enough, is english also known as the most useless subject and the only subject I can't drop. Well recently in class, we have been studying some dead war poet and analysing his poems (Because that will help later in life). Anyway as you could imagine this destroyed any appreciation I had for this guys poetry I may have ever had.
Now Many may wonder, "Oh god Isn't that enough?" or others may say that I'm being overdramatic, but those second people are stupid, or english teachers, it's interchangable.
But no, it wasn't enough for them to compleatly crush any kind of positive things I might take away from these poems, but then I have to write a seven minute speech on the topic of his poetry, but not the acctual poetry, but the "Techniques" that make it up. But seriously there is no way this guy really put these words together for the reasons they think. Like seriously, English teachers say that the guy who got his legs blown off is symbolism for suffering and disfiguration of the soldiers in world war 1. But that is obviously stupid, what proberbly acctually happened was the writer was sitting about writing his poetry about his experience of war, you know the adverage kind of thing, explosions, a hill, some nice trenches, foot rot. All those normal war things, then out of no where BOOM, some unlucky bloke gets his legs blown off from a random explosion. and the writer goes "Holy Sh*t, that guy got his f*cking legs blown off!" and then wrote it down.
It isn't symbolism, it's what acctually happened. English fanatics may argue the the fact that the man who's legs were blown off wasn't named means that it could happen to any one in war. I say that he simply didn't know who that dude was. "He" sounds allot better than "That guy whose name I never bothered to learn." also the second would make the writer look like a d*ck.
Well my pont is that writing a speech like that is crap, and to make it worse. I don't just have to write it, I have to present it and listen to the nearly identical speech of like 40 other people. Is it any wonder that I am not listening, that I'm writing this blog on how stupid these speeches are?
no not really, If I were expected to acctually listen then they sould find something to make me care.
If your reading this and think I'm just *****ing for the sake of *****ing about it, then yes, yes I am, and if you think that is a problem then why in the hell are you even reading my blog. If your looking for something with any real content, then read a book or something.
In any case, Later readers, If boredom doesn't kill me then we will chat later.
