It's time to be honest

It would be a lie to say that I didn't ever have any free time, or that I didn't know what I had to do to boost up my grade in the classes I have trouble with everyday. To be honest, it would be a lie to say I can't stay till 5:30 everyday for office hours. Technically I can.
But I don't.
I know I can try harder. I'm sure even the master mind Kevin can try harder than he already does. We all can.

Sometimes though, we just don't want to.

Now this post isn't meant to make anyone upset. It isn't meant to spark any future lectures either. It's meant to give some perspective. Some perspective on how we feel. No excuses, just honesty.

I don't like algebra. The fact that I have to put in over 150% effort, and I still fail infuriates me. I think Spanish class is extremely repetitive at times, and half the time I just want to go to sleep in Global, only because its my last class.
It isn't easy to be in school for all the hours we're in it. I think that these high expectations teachers have for us make them forget that we are just as normal as all the other high school students. We may be very uncommon, but we're still teens.
Judy like all of you may be uncommon teachers, but you're still people.
I think people forget that.

Its simple: Say What You Mean

So we all know those comments that are not outwardly rude, but when you think about it, they really are. Those little things people say that elude to what they really want to say, but they don't actually say it. Sarcastic comments and just annoying petty things that get on your nerves. The question today is, how do you deal with it? Do you confront it? Because that's your first instinct, to turn around and say, "And what is THAT supposed to mean?" Which sounds like a perfectly justified response. The only problem is, this really doesn't solve anything, because chances are the person you just confronted won't actually what they said into what they were trying to say in the first place. So your left upset at someone's cowardice, looking like you can't take a joke. Even though 99 percent of the time the subliminal isn't funny in any way.
So what do you do? Hurt your brain trying to untangle the puzzles that people tell you?
No way.
See what people don't realize is, life isn't Facebook. You shouldn't be talking as if you were reiterating one of your statuses you posted. It's simple really. Say what you mean and mean what you say. And if people like to throw subliminals at you and expect you to try to unfold the mystery they so "cleverly" wasted time on saying, don't.
If they really have something important to say, they can say it, not hint at it like this is some Shakespeare play or something, and your trying to say something without really saying it.
Truth is, I don't have time for it.
Who does?
