Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah.

I wish I could have just tested out of Geo and gone into Pre-Calc this year.

Geo is SOOOO easy.

A few buttons on a calculator and some easy in-your-head math and you've got it covered.

I'm NEVER teaching geometry if I become a teacher.

We'd have 3 classes, then the rest would be review days and test days.

And I already know how to do polar coordinates and graph parabolas and everything

But noooo, I haven't "actually" done geometry

8th grade? 4laugh

That's how it is here.

I'm just skipping most of it.

And getting my college math course done over the summer.

No more math!

My mother's a moron.

You people--any of you--can tell me it's out of love. It's out of protection. It's out of something else. I should care about her anyway. Seriously, there is no reason to apart from the fact that we share part of the same chemical makeups.

So.

Anyway.

She will consistantly say, "You can do this." I will say, "Is it alright if I do _____. (In this case, it's going out to breakfast--five minutes from here--with NiBu. FIVE MINUTES. AN HOUR BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. I think we'd be fine.)" She says, yes. Be careful.

THE DAY BEFORE I DO IT???? (In this case, about 7 hours before hand.) "I don't think it's a good idea..... I'm really uneasy.... You didn't even give me a choice....." Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then say no right off. You obviously didn't have a problem making said choice NOW, then, did you?

Not to mention the unbelievable awkwardness of calling NiBu at about 11:15 at night to tell him that my mother's insane mentality is prevailing once again.

"You can eat breakfast here. You do all the time." Like ******** I do.

I drink iced tea. I think once or twice have I eaten things--either becaus I'm really hungry, or because I need to eat something like applesauce to take medication.

That's not breakfast.

That's crap.

Why were we doing this?

(a) Togetherness, which we aren't getting a lot of lately.

(b) Our first hour is serving breakfast. We'd rather have better breakfast than the bagels and cream cheese, especially served by people we don't like. Imagine that. So.....

What am I told?

"Well, then you're supposed to be at school, so you'll be at school!" I have NO IDEA where that came from. I have to be at school at 7:20. (Which I think is crap anyway. But whatever.) I was GOING to be at school at 7:20.

She has done this three or four times--in the past 2.5 weeks!

I wouldn't mind as much if she would (a) have at least ONE good reason (that's all I ask for is one reason beyond "Because I'm a paranoid b***h") or (b) if she would do it more than a day beforehand.

If she had said this yesterday, would I have been pissed? Hells, yes.

THIS pissed?

Gods, no.

[/rant, because all left is incoherent whining]

My dad has everyone on AIM blocked from IMing me. So everytime I want to IM a friend or they get a new screenname, I have to get him to unblock them. And it's only IRL friends, cuz they ask me who it is and their last name. (Which is why I like people with their last names in their screenname.)

How is it that you can't unblock people yourself? D;

Anyway, why is he so uber-protective?

grr@overprotective parents

I would never get childblocks or anything

No point in shielding your children from reality when they're oging to experience it eventually
