I googled quit school and this whole list of shit popped out. Good shit. I clicked on the first link and instantly there was a whole chunk of words and quotes and pictures about how quitting school is good, not in the stereotypical drop-out manner. "Is it necessary to be forced to sit in class for six hours a day and then spend even more time at home doing extra schoolwork? Is it not possible to learn without these things? What the educators apparently haven't realized yet is that experiential education is a double edged sword. If you do something to learn it, then what you do, you learn. All the time you are in school, you learn through experience how to live in a dictatorship. In school you shut your notebook when the bell rings. You do not speak unless granted permission. You are guilty until proven innocent, and who will prove you innocent? You are told what to do, think, and say for six hours each day. If your teacher says sit up and pay attention, you had better stiffen your spine and try to get Bobby or Sally or the idea of spring or the play you're writing off of your mind. The most constant and thorough thing students in school experience-and learn-is the antithesis of democracy. Schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevent to the great enterprises of the planet." Learn what you love man. Also on the website I see lotsa Calvin & Hobbes strips. I think that's where I get most of my motivation from, calvin and hobbes. That guy is an inspiration man. Sigh. Too many things in this world, it has become so complicated. Life was so simple but people had to make it hard. But anyway I know this is an impossible feat. I will be devising plans and options but by the end of it all I would've already graduated. Ugh. Such a disgusting cycle. It's like some bullshit hole where you're forced into what you're not even interested it. My parents are the only obstruction now. Help me dear Lord, help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I don't dare ask but I shall continue hinting. On a happier note, Buds jumps willingly over the hoop now. I don't have to push his butt like I had to a few days ago. Also, Torley is coming over tomorrow :) Fuzz, fuzz fuzz. Omg I just found this book that's totally cool and psyche, psyche, psyche... The hunt shall begin.
