for serious though

hello people, i haven't posted anything for a loooong time, but i was waiting for something worth talking about, and i think ive found it. At school i tend to doodle my classes away, ive failed several classes because of it, and sometimes i get raged at on a daily basis. I plan on being an artist when i grow up, starving or not, thats what i want to do with my life. Monday this week was the first day of semester two, and in my brand new foundations english class with a nutsy teacher is my first block. We had to write one of those "something you might like to know about me" things, so i went off talking about my painting and drawing and my most recent painting and how its the biggest painting ive painted yet, and about how i doodle my classes away. The next day i came in late, because i slept through my alarm because i was up late drawing and putting my feelings on paper and whatnot, but when i came in, my nutsy little teacher sortof squeeled "You're here!!!! You inspired this activity! Did you know that? It was because of you paragraph yesterday!" i was moderatly confused..... but i went and sat down and started the activity. This activity involed us writing down what we're good at, what we could get good at and what we would like to be good at, i asked my freind next to me what i was good at and she said you can write down everything you're good at, her examples were drawing and drinking milk really fast. So i started listing off the things i thought i was good at, drawing, painting, drinking milk really fastand managing to cut my own hair without it looking like i cut my own hair, what i could get good at i said "anything i dam well please" and what i want to try and get good at i said i want to try most things and painting a wall.
                         We also had to say what we thought was holding us back from being good at things. my respone to this was school. School rages at me for drawing, because i need to be learning how to devide variables in trapesoids. I sincerly doubt im ever going to need any more math than what i learned in grade six to do what i plan to do. School takes up all the daylight here, we waste all the daylight inside. And im on an electricity fast in my room except for my alarm clock, so i have no light, im trying to save the universe here, one step at a time. And school tries to take up my time when im not at school with homework, giving me no time to pursue what i like, so i dont do homework....
                           Later that day, in planning class, we watched i video of Ken Robinson talking at a confrence about how people are getting educated out of creativity, heres the link, watch it its amazing http://homeopathyworldcommunity.ning.com/video/ted-talk-ken-robinson-says-1, i dont know that website, but it has the video, so. After we watched this video we had to write a response, the questions we were meant to think about in this response were "what is your response to this video?" and "do you feel at all like the dancer he talks about?" my response began with "i agree" and i began to ramble on about how i do feel like the dancer in a way, with my doodling.

                                          So Tuesday was an excellent day, i got to rage on paper twice about the same thing and it showed me how much this stuff matters to me.
