Is anyone else tired?

This week was quite an interesting one. Twas my first full week of school, with about 35 more to come… from just this year.

Tuesday, in English, we had tests over our summer reading (which I got about half done). Still got about an 80% on those, so I was ecstatic. Or maybe they were just simple. Whatever.

Physics on Wednesdays and Fridays is just tiring, because it’s 90 minutes of sitting in a classroom, not taking down notes about things I’ve learned four years ago, and watching it be reexplained forty or fifty times because each individual student has a specific way of having no clue what they’re doing. I wish I could sleep, I wish I could use my laptop… I wish I could ignore the world around me there. Something needs to give me the strength to sleep through not only the unwillingness to learn of the students, but the unwillingness of the teachers to teach us well. If I knew nothing about Physics, I wouldn’t get it either.

Speaking of science four years ago, the science teacher I had then is an assistant principal at my school now. Not sure how that happened, especially since I didn’t think she was even in the district for the last three years. Can’t remember.

Today, my colleague in debate and I taught the novices, because our coach apparently wanted to see our perspective on debate before he taught the next class, so he knew he was teaching us right. Uh?

And, we watched a movie in APAH today over a Native American tribe, and I found it somewhat boring since I was half asleep. Of course, it was interesting, just… not.

Oh well. An interesting week, nonetheless.

Props to the Fedora Infrastructure team for rebuilding a multitude of servers in about a week and catching an intruder before anything bad happened. We couldn’t have this great distro without you guys.

This weekend, I plan to work on the websites I need to get finished/fixed and work on fixing random wiki pages. Or perhaps I might work on adding some more random functions to my Pascal’s triangle generator in the ianweller-misc repository. Or, perhaps, I want to catch up on sleep. Maybe I’ll do all three. Or, I can quite possibly do none of these things. Instant gratification is what I absurdly rely on, and it’ll push me through this weekend and many more weeks to come.
