I am very lazy, so I’m using the quick-add option… which save me — what? 5 seconds? And no tags…

But alas, I am unable to write large amounts of cohesive, verbal language at a time… which is just great, since I have an AP Language practice test tomorrow with a TIME-RESTRICTED essay which I will COMPLETELY BS. Also, I’ve noticed in my usage of the internet that–

–when I start to randomly type in caps lock, not only do people listen (mostly out of annoyance), but in dead chats and conversations, it brings life. That being said, I DESPISE the “Caps Lock” key. It’s not just that I prefer to use Shift first; I hate it when my finger slips — usually while hitting “A” — and hits the caps lock, and, mid-word, I seem to burst into this angry rant! Seriously, are people that lazy that they need to use a key that sets the mode on capital letters only… Honestly, though, I am not an expert in the area of keyboard design and efficiency: if anyone is, feel free to inform me of prolonged uses where caps lock is necessary. Although, even then, there should be caps lock-free keyboards. And I did not plan on a paragraph about caps lock…

YOU CAN IGNORE THE ABOVE SINCE IT IS JUST RAMBLING.

So today was a “red day” at school (block scheduling), so I had classes like Drafting (easy), World History (so easy and boring because I know everything that I want to just sleep!), French I (I know way more French than level 1 noob stuff!), and Calculus. Order may have changed for dramatic effect.

I’m a junior in high school, and through a Long and Confusing History that is my life, I ended up in Calculus this year. And I have to say, over the past few years, I’ve grown to like math a lot. So I looked forward to taking the Scariest Math of them all. And I will say, for the first few months I found it fascinating! And yet 6-8 months later, I have grown bored with the subject. Sure, Calculus is still insanely awesome, but I’ve just come to realize from the many youtube videos and guides and everything I’ve seen in preparation for the AP test that what we’re doing is so very easy and basic, and hardly as difficult as classmates make it seem…

So what does all this mean? Is it that when we work too hard or look deeper than necessary into something, the deconstructed result can really change our perception of it? Should we lie to ourselves and go with whatever most people are doing, or work hard to break through all of it and learn the truth, however scary… I am, by nature, tempted to go with the latter choice, as am I inclined to delve this deep into random stuff…

Anyway, however random and weird it might be, that’s one of the things that was on my mind today.

P.S. I have some interesting blog topics for the next few days, maybe….
