Gah, just had a really irritating day, with teachers nagging at me around every sodding corner. Here's my day in a nutshell:
French - Ok, so I was 1% off the "pass-mark" for a verb test yesterday (which involved learning over 300 words, for a 24 question test - how sodding awkward can one person be?) and was told to return to the room today at lunch to "go over" the questions (I suck at French - nuff said. Despite the fact I'm in top set :D). However, alarm bells rung - what am I going to do about lunch? So, I decided to get my lunch and THEN go to the French room. I get it after running to the queue, go to the French room to find...nothing. Must've been one helluva quick "go over". So, I meet some of my friends who had to go their also, and they basically tell me that I have a 20 minute detention after school Monday (my first detention - yay!). Well, I'll be buggered if I'm going to a detention for something I haven't done wrong. Firstly, the teacher shouldn't've been cretinous enough to expect me to miss out my lunch for some French vocabularly that I'll probably never use. Hell, I have no plans on ever visiting France. Asked my dad and he said he'd support me, even give the teacher a rather nasty mouthful :D
Secondly - Maths. I had to go down to our school library here and print off some work. The librarians basically tutted as I entered the library in the first place, as if to say "get out of here as fast as you can" (meh, all the reason more to stay half an hour :P). So, I got the work done and was printing it. I stood by the printer, waiting for it when a moody cow-of-a-teacher's voice bellowed "everyone down in their seats! Now!". I stayed at the printer, as it would be in my hands in a few seconds. Then she took a shot at me, telling me to find a seat. I refused and so we argued back and forth and I stated that there's no point finding a sodding chair for 10 seconds, in which time my work will be out of the printer and I'll be finding my way back to my class (that certainly made the teacher shut up :D). It was very tempting to say "I've had a bad enough day already, and I don't need ignorant, power-mad teachers making it worse". Ah, I can still dream :D
Hmmm. Sodding teachers who think they're always right REALLY get to me. Still, it's fun to argue and prove them wrong, as I normally tend to do, and if they lower my grade, it's also fun to report them for that :D
Makes me wonder if a GCSE is really worth all this...
Flux.
PS - Please feel free to post your own arguments with teachers. Cheer me up :)

There was a time at college where we made an animation on one of our teachers turning into the Borg, and left it running on the PC in front of his desk just before the start of a lesson.
He thought he'd be really clever and find out whose login the PC was on, but was a bit annoyed to find out it was his own.
Ho ho ho!
Another time we scanned a picture of Sid James, blew it up to A3 and covered an entire wall of our classroom in them. The teachers thought it was funny and left them there for about 3 months.

Hehe. Good on ya mate.
Oh, and I have 70 French words to learn over the weekend. Joy. Ah well, I have Monday off, so it ain't that bad. Plus, it's gonna be a marathon of gaming and I'm going to see 8-Mile this weekend.
Ah, perhaps it isn't all that bad after all.

Not that bad really. I might be entered for the higher :(

Indeed. But it's just our comp. class, so the other *lower* classes can fall into the apitimal of hell for all I care.

Indeed. But it's just our comp. class, so the other *lower* classes can fall into the apitimal of hell for all I care.
i got 7 pieces of homework today. this day is pretty boring at school. I HATE SCHOOL!!!!! (IT SUCKS)
School really does suck at the moment, I've got masses of coursework to do and Oral Exams to revise for (ie. a massive speech to learn in French and in German), and our Maths teacher today decides to give us loads of questions on Vectors for tomorrow, something which I don't even need to know because she's put me in for the Intermediate paper!!
Grrrrrr...
Grrrrrr...
