Really this revelation came to me during my in class essay today. Well the essay was supposed to be about that great book Their Eyes Were Watching God, yet my teacher decided to pull a quoted from one of Thoreau's works and made us use this to write an essay. His reasoning is to prepare us for the AP exams. Yet it took me twenty minutes before I found a thesis I liked, yet even then it still sucked. Well in the end while everyone was finishing I was in the middle of my mediocre at best essay. So I finish and realize how pointless it was to even do it for the grade probably turned out to be a failed grade anyway.
Then unfortuntly there was an opportunity where i could have learned something interesting, yet I also lacked the neccesary intellegence to ask decent questions. This was when fmr. senator Howard Baker came to give a chapel talk. Well unlike other times I actually had time to go ask him a question or two after the talk. Yet I wasn't able to come up with anything decent or something someone hadn't asked when there was many possiblities. So what do I do? I just thanked him for coming. Ya what a great way to use that fucking oppurtunity. These two are unfortunently a few times where I showed my true intelligence. Really maybe I should be ranting on how I have oppurtunities yet I can't use them properly.
Ya this may be crappy rant, but I really don't care. All i want is to be able to do is to become a little more intelligent and not waste these oppurtunites. Well thanks.
