Comatose is a better state

I skipped school today.

No reason to, really. I did my math tutorial and didn't have any problems with it. Otherwise there were practically no lessons since all the teachers are busy marking.

I slept from 6pm to 5am and lazed around till 6pm. Ate some. Watched a movie. Did some work.

Life is so boring.

Simmering. Boiling. Scalding. Angry.

Hungry, tired, absolutely bored.

So much to lose hair over!

The glass is half-something

Post-exam freedom is, as usual, sweet and boring. All I did today was gorge, watch TV and do backflips. True story.

And, I must be a douche and rant on this thing about people that have forced me to learn how to tie a noose.

I'm not exactly a grammar geek. Maybe it's because I've never faced any issues with grammar. Most people talk to me in perfectly comprehensible grammar (or non-grammar). The occasional misspelling makes me squirm a little. If someone speaks/writes really bad English I try to decrypt.

But this, this, I cannot understand. I tried to tolerate it at first; I thought it was an innocent mistake by a few, but it's an epidemic sweeping across the entire school.

Why do people always ask if "a page" means "a side" or "a piece of paper"?

Have they not used MS Word before? Have they not read a book before? (On hindsight, maybe they haven't.) Have they not counted the number of "printed pages" in their exam papers before? Have they not used the word "page" before?

A page IS one side! Dammit, a 7-year-old could tell you that and teenage dumbshits are giving me this crap. This is, indeed, a very disappointing product of education.
