As it is finals week. I am stressing and need a place to vent. So if you feel like minded, have at this thread as a place to rant. I mean to offend noone and am just letting off steam.
First. Its the last week of school of my sophmore year in high school and I'm still being taught new things. Apparently half my teachers feel the need to cram as much crap into our heads so they can put it on the final and if we get it wrong, they have no blame because we went over it for two minutes in class.
Next. It would seem that the school has decided to try out this new fangled final schedule. We take two finals a day, each being 80 minutes (which isn't a problem, our midterms were 160 minutes long. I felt I would die from all the free time) But then when you're finished you have three options, you can get a ride, walk, or get stuck in the hot, smelly, cafeteria for the next four hours until the busses come at 1:50!
Then, theres the problem of my AP (Advanced Placement) classes (which I blame on noone but myself, but the workload is like huge!) I am taking AP English language and composition, which I have to do two essays, double entry journals, vocab lists, and multiple choice question. In my AP US History course I have THREE required essay and an extra credit one which can be used to subsitute ANY missed assignment. Which of course would leave me stupid if I didn't do it.
And I'm loosing sleep studying, my eyes look like two pitch black bottomless pits. I have a take home final for Mr. Ford (evil demon from pits of
... well you get the idea. I am SO gald hes not coming back next year.) and my regular review.( 
this has become my best friend!)
Finally to top it all off, I leave for my summer job up in Raymond (for any of you who don't know, thats back of beyond's back of beyond) where there are no computers to e-mail my completed AP work from. And my life is just falling to peices.
Again this is just the ravings of a final, AP, work, life stressed man who needs sleep. So I mean no offense.
How I wish I could just leave to Dinotopia, even for a few moments. A place like that CAN'T be as stressful as RL!
Anyways thanx for listening, reading, what ever it is we do here to get our points across.
