Today really fucking pissed me off. The way my school goes is everyone takes their English exams with their homeroom regardless of the type of English they are in. (same with Science, History etc). For most people in my homeroom they were either taking American or Brit Lit. aaaand those kids were kinda considering their English exam as sort of an “easy test”.
I’m in Creative Writing. Even though that had to be my favorite class this year it is honestly suuuuch a stressful exam. I couldn’t just study and expect to know my shit perfectly because I also had to write pieces at the top of my head and it’s also a really time consuming exam and covering material I hadn’t been at this school for! So the people in my class decided it would be awesome to talk the whole entire hour and a half. This pissed me off sooo badly too just because it wasn’t even in a way where they needed to be that loud. It was just like they wanted to see how far they could go without my homeroom teacher doing something drastic. It went from loud talking to calling each other across the room and loudly shushing each other to be “funny” and asking our homeroom teacher questions over and over to be “funny”. And this was aaaaall going on when I was taking that fucking exam.
Don’t get me wrong, I know I’ve been raised in a quieter environment than a lot of kids. (Like a family of women that are overly sensitive loud noises). But its just really rude and inconsiderate and there is a point when being loud stops being funny. It just becomes noise. I’ve never been a real nerd about school either. But when I have things riding on me succeeding its absolutely important. And if I am forced to move to the mainland, break up with my boyfriend, and live the rest of my high school life in isolation because I don’t have enough silence to concentrate on classes that I’m bordering the fail/pass line….then I am going to be really fucking pissed. I have worked my ass off these last few weeks to try to ensure that I won’t fail and I really don’t want this to be what fucks it up. I have no problem with loud people. Loud can be fun and hilarious. But people need to really know when to draw the line.
