Politics
I hate politics.

By that, I mean school and class politics. (Not the government stuff.)

It just seems to affect everybody even though it seemingly has nothing to do with you. but then again it affects many people so you'll inevitably be dragged into the picture.

My class is full of politics. And I think I'm a independent, about to fall into the opposition party.

Come on guys! Get real! We know almost all the teachers, even the ICT teachers, have us getting on their nerves! Never mind that its the end of the year, are we just going to let this issue hang in the air until we all split up, and our class is never going to unite as one ever again? Isn't it sad?

Think about it, even our dear director Veronique is pulling her hair out over us for Drama fest. She is one of us, yet when put into a leadership position where she has to control us, she is feeling the stress that all our teachers feel when they teach our notorious class. It's no wonder teachers seem to hate us now. And yet when many of us say this, we still giggle like it's nothing.

I don't blame Veronique. And I kind of agree that our class has 'attitude'. Totally! (oh my i am turning into a bimbo.) Once anyone is unhappy, they just ignores anyone else that's not in their league. Anything others say is wrong. No matter what, they can find some fault in it. Look at it fairly, will you? We all have a job to do, and let's do it well. If you don't cooperate, they will be unhappy and lecture you more, and the grumpiness is snowballed back to you. On the other hand, if you just grit your teeth and play along, they are happy and won't bother you more.

Be impartial! Somebody told me that instead of saying "Go to whatever room for whatever lesson", she has been saying "LET'S go to..." and they have been finding it even more disgusting. Okay, if you want it that way, next time would you prefer I command you to do things? I mean, who knows, maybe it was the teachers that advised her to be less bossy with her words? Or you mean you prefer commands?

Another somebody told me that she's biased. And if she was, why would she give you 73 for SIA, and me 68? Oh yes, perhaps she's even more biased against me. ._. You told me her reaction when you told her your subject combi was, "哦,又要追功课了。” It's true, though, isn't it? You always hand up homework late, it's not surprising that she would lament. When I heard that, I thought you were going to say something worse, like, "Huh, you going that class ah. (shocked face like she wants to change her mind)" Thus when I heard that, in my head (Jason Derulo!) I was going chey... I merely didn't want to burst your bubble. And okay, maybe she IS biased, but I dont think that's a very good example of it. Don't think too much, will you? So when I say this, are you thinking that I hate you now?

You know why I am so quiet sometimes? Because running through my mind are all these opposition thoughts, and I am afraid if I say it out, I would automatically be thrown into opposition party, like how Clarice can't understand why Sarah's (was?) 'siding' them. Maybe I'm paranoid, but based on how every little thing they do can generate criticism from you, I feel I am taking a huge risk by posting this. Not that anyone who's really involved would read this anyway. However, please, anyone I mention here, don't be offended or anything! I just want to make my stand clear. I really hope this won't affect our friendship. And when I say this kind of things, I mean to the class in general, and not pinpointing the featured people.

So, please don't think I am siding them. I do agree that they have some faults, like how she can be bossy, and how she took so long to ask for our CME... However, I am in no position to change your mindset because I have not been personally involved with them, I dont know the details of this whole situation. I just think that this behaviour is quite childish, much like Cheryl and Gwen in our play, and its affecting the class morale (Veronique ah, its spelt like that and not morel!!). I think our play is actually quite symbolic of our class' situation now, about how we have 2 sides in class and how we think teacher's don't care about us. But in fact, I think our play is totally untrue, and teachers are not as bad as we described them. At least, not all.

Finally, I got it off my chest.
