Awkward late at night post time: Musing on absences.

I’ve missed school at least 6 days in the last 2 weeks: A combination of AP testing, badly timed illness, and a wedding 250 miles away. Public school is weird about that. A teacher who won’t blink if you don’t turn in an assignment will hunt you down like an animal if you miss a day of school. And then they won’t let you turn in the work. Absolutely trivial. Public school is petty like that. They think you’re skipping, but they also want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Teachers in public school are conflicted.

I’ve also noticed school (whether attended or not) has the ability to complete trivialize one’s life. I’m ready to leave the place and become a productive human being. School doesn’t let anyone do that. I have to go to the motions, making me feel powerless. That makes me unhappy and destroys creative urge. This entire site is one of my creative urges. meh.
