Hi, my name is Wes, and I'm bored.
"Hi, Wes!"
I identify with all you bored people out there, those that are bored in school. Not bored because you hate school, but bored because you love to learn and the slow pace is bogging you down.
Most of my classes are fine, but it's math class for me that's the worse. I'm supposedly in an advanced class, but I am obviously way beyond the level of the rest of the students. The rest of the class calls our math teacher "Light-speed Upton" because she introduces new material (which should be review for these kids) at a fast speed. I should call her Upton Gastropoda! Her class is the slowest one I have ever been in.
Right now, I'm trying to start work with independent studies. It's hard, because Ol' Gastro won't let me do it on my school time. So I'm reduced to speeding through homework and playing calculator games or reading in class. It's really a waste of learning potential.
I didn't mean to sound whiny when I wrote this journal, and I hope you don't get that impression of me. It's just that I wish I could learn, not sleep.

Greetings and salutations and all that other stuff.
I agree completely. I suffered through the same thing during my early high school years, before I could get into the honors courses with good teachers, as well as the AP classes we have in the states. Don't worry about it, and take the time to read. Your classes will get better as you progress, and reading is probably better for you than paying attention to boring material anyways.
Have fun,
Vidmaster
