My holiday was fine, nothing needed there.
My school... I don't have enough energy to rant on that. Nor do I have five days to waste.
Teachers... Sometimes some of them make me wonder. My Comp. Apps. teacher seems to be REALLY dumb. And closed-minded. I can't stand people like that. She thinks that a computer has to be an 'electronic device', and defines technology as 'knowledge and tools that allow us to do new things'. I'll point out some details. First off, for the computer. Our brains are electronic. They can be thought of as devices, and not at all incorrectly. Therefore, by her deffinition, a brain is a computer. I actualy agree here, but she wanted to argue that when I brought it up. She threated detention for me being smarter than her too. So I decided not to bring up my second point. 'New' can be defined many ways. On the cosmic scale, everything we use is technology. This includes our bodies, and our minds, incidentally. On a microbial-lifespan timescale, as soon as we discover something, is stops being new, so nothing is technology. If I make an instintaneous teleportation device, as soon as I'm finished it stops being new, and therefore isn't technology. See the problem?

I see you angle with the time argument, but I'm sure you knew what she meant.
You're right, technically, but it was everyday speech...
Anyway, my holiday was far too short, and I wasted the time I had instead of going out and enjoying myself.
I really don't want to go back to school.
My teachers...well, most of the ones I liked, or could stand, have left, leaving me with idiots and unbearable people. And I'm going to have my dumbass math teacher for another entire year.

My Comp Apps teacher is 'she'. Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking at the time.
*wince* Ah, short holiday. Not good.
Who does want to go back? I sort of did, but that's me. I'm crazy.

You're beyond that.
Anyway, I started on Wednesday.
I live about 10 minutes away from school, yet I'm stuck on the bus for 45. God damn it.
