Many a time have I sat in class, when a simple thought would wander through my mind; "When am I ever going to use this?" Oh, it never fails to make me roll my eyes and sigh in annoyance. Math isn't something that really appeals to me or the field of work I plan to go into, and I don't need to know the history of the world to listen to people talk about their lives, or to be out on the field getting the latest news story, and especially not when I'm cuddled up with my laptop, writing a new chapter to the novel I'm working on. I don't need numbers or history for that! That's what Google is for (:
Sometimes, yes, I'm proven wrong and find myself thinking that I'm glad I knew something. Emphasis on sometimes. I suppose one day I'll be grateful for all the knowledge I had the privilege of being taught. But for now, I'm just another selfish and unsatisfied teenager who thinks certain things are just a waste of time, and who teachers roll their eyes at.
A+ for honesty! (:
