The following is a very biased, hate filled opinion, and I'm an asshole for having it. You've been warned. Added 5-14-04.

I swear the people that run the GRC high school are insane. What the hell is with Honors Night anyway? The only thing I can see in this crap is prancing your kid around in front of other parents as if you're waving a bone in front of a hungry dog. It's some sort of bragging rights or something. "Look! My kid's better than yours!" By the way, who the hell gives certificates of achievement and awards to people as if they've done something wonderful by doing what they were supposed to all along? "Hey kid! Thanks for not being stupid and slacking off. Heres a cheap, "official" piece of paper in your honor!" The awards give me a wronged and dirty feeling, like I was just robbed by someone in Spandex. It's utterly ridiculous.

 

If anything, they should be giving awards the students for real accomplishments in school. Like last week, I managed to go through an entire school assembly without getting a migraine or a thick bloodlust. Or, like the other day, when I killed five people with my spleen and a box of crayons. Now that deserves an award.

Not to mention the fact that this wondrous event was so unorganized. The starting times for the event were originally as follows:

 

Freshmen Recognition:  6:00 PM

Sophomore Recognition: 7:00 PM

Junior Recognition: 8:00 PM

 

Now, apparently the school changed its mind and decided to just recognize everyone at once, so the times were then changed to one time, 6:00 PM.

 

So, during the past weekend, the school phoned most every invited student's home with a pre-recorded message about the change. Since Monday, every day has had a morning announcement about the time change. And with all of that, they still had the wits to print out a horribly typed and equally edited letter for every invited student on paper, a resource that has dwindled to practically nothing in the past month. GRC is so low on paper that they are sending midterms out in waves. Theres only a week of school left and people are just now receiving midterms. And they waste this precious paper on superfluous announcements? What a bunch of morons.

 

Screw it, I'm going to go eat some beef jerky.

Beef jerky kicks ass.
