Today was pretty mundane. Very little happened apart from the revelation of Ms. Jestico's little secret and the school deciding to move my music lessons to Fridays. Which is why I'm here right now.
I got alright marks in Japanese and English. I think I could have got more though.
I dunno why, but I was thinking on the coach about how people always notice things that aren't there rather than things that are. Like you go to a place, you recognise everything there, you take in every detail. But when you go there the next time, you realise something is missing first rather than the fact that everything else is normal. Like when you go somewhere to meet someone and you realise that they're not there rather than see what is. I think that that's why people are so negative sometimes - they see what they don't have rather than what they do have, when really they should look at what they do have. That's my way of thinking anyways. Don't even ask me where this came from haha.
It's just negative, and is kinda related to why kids hate school. Again, don't ask. At school, you're expected to do work, but the fact that there's almost a threat to you that if you don't do something certain, then you get punished. Here's what I think - focus more on 'If you do x, then you get y as a reward' rather than 'If you don't do x, then you get punished'. Something with a negative stimulus attached isn't going to be received well is it? Not all kids WANT good grades or see them as a reward, so you kinda need to play up to that a bit.
God I think too much.
I think you should all go read Mikey's blog. It's full of weird and wonderful facts, and such a large imagination for such a small person.
My school are very disorganised sometimes. It was only today that I found out that they were going through with changing my music lesson to Friday. And it was only 30 minutes before the lesson this afternoon that I discovered the decision had been finalised. So that means changing my driving lessons now. Stupid stupid stupid. I don't know why they didn't spot this earlier in the year, when people hadn't already made plans on Friday afternoons. I mean what the hell. Now I have 4 lessons of Music on a Friday. Not complaining cos it's my favourite subject, but it's a bit excessive. That's 4 out of my 5 music lessons a week, the other being on Monday.
3 days until I move. It's gonna be gooooood man :D
Hmm, this blog is pretty depressing. I'll write about something happier tomorrow. That is if I can after my Theory of Knowledge trip. A whole day thinking about how we know, why we know, how we can trust our knowledge. Basically being proven wrong on everything you've ever thought in your life. That and it's very tedious.
Oh well, I'm sure something good will come from it... Maybe they'll decide to move my music lessons back to normal. Or not.
I need more things to write about.
Sayonara.
