Dear World,

Today, Charlotte brought me back to the library. It's actually been more than a year since I last went inside a library. I'm not that fan of reading books, although I don't understand why I like writing here in my journal. I'm actually enjoying writing here, maybe not every single day, but at least I write things up here.

Everything here in my journal is just random. I am in a library, but I am not a fan of reading books, I decided to write here in my journal instead. Charlotte is quite busy selecting dictionaries. She wants to have a good amount of words that aren't really that used, in other words, 'big words'. She is doing it for her Social Studies report.

And so far, nothing has changed in my schedule, I am free that's why I am here at the library with my best friend. I and Charlotte's next class will be at one in the afternoon later.

Charlotte was so busy with their economics manual that they are told to compile. I don't understand why her teacher gave them such ridiculous projects. It's one of the reasons why we can't hang out more because of school work.  Maddie also told me that she wants to be with us later for lunch, so I texted her to come to the library because I think we will be here until lunchtime.

Lessons commenced in the afternoon and I got pissed with Ms Tampos because she didn't let me pass the activity that I missed. I may add I have a valid excuse because I was absent when they did that activity. Why am I absent? Well, it's because Maddie had an issue with one of her so called friends that I had to bring her home, making me miss the activity that they've done. Now she's telling me that she already grades those activities and she wouldn't want to grade another Activity 3 when every paper that has been passed is now Activity 5. What a very silly excuse and it's valid for them because they are teachers.

Well, screw it! If she's not accepting it, then fine. But if she will fail me or lower my grades because of this activity and notes will be sent to my parents then I will tell the real reason for it and it will surely backfire on her. Don't get me wrong, this isn't about me hating teachers and seeing them as enemies. I respect teachers, especially when you know that they deserve it. Let's admit it, there are teachers that demand respect forgetting that it must be earned and unfortunately they don't deserve it. Them that demand it don't deserve it.

I am not demonizing Ms Tampos image in this journal and if there might be the same name out there in the world and also a teacher please know that it's a coincidence. Ms tempos are okay some other time she just has this attitude that you will lose your respect for her as your teacher. That attitude is belittling us her students. She acts like if we don't comply to her bidding, we are just at the tip of her pen. Means our grades are just a matter of how she will write it. Which also leads me being done with these labeled worlds where these grades measure you.

Now the drama should end there. I don't want to rant entirely in this journal,  that isn't the entire reason why I am writing. I hope you have a good day.

Always,

Sandra
