Between Reading and Focusing

 It’s come to my attention that a lot of the activities that we do in school will not affect us in the future. Personally, I would love to just read my current book, Little Brother, instead of doing such activities. Unfortunately I can’t decide how the classes function or what we do in them. For instance, yesterday we were assigned a reading assignment to find out the author’s tone and theme of the passage. Although that was the assignment, I intentionally did not attempt to do it because I was uninterested in the actual topic of the passage. In order to grasp my attention, I would prefer if assignments would be of a more interesting or challenging concept, unlike today’s language art’s assignment which was about our highway system for the last 50 years. The point that I’m leaning towards is that I consider myself stubborn and unwilling to do something that doesn’t interest me. This little blog has nothing to do with changing the school or anything; I just wanted to express my feelings toward useless school assignments that could be replaced with my own beneficial interests, such as free reading.  Well.. *shrugs while shaking his head* hopefully I can finish my new book within the week.
