Unacceptable

Judgemental Killer

So I forgot my homework journal for the third time in a row today....Okay, let me lay it out for you:
When you forget your journal, you are to go to the office and acquire a sheet photocopied from the school journal as substitute for the day, which I did. On the first day. I utilized that one sheet for the three days.

On one of those days I scribbled down all the mental disorders I could think of from A-Z, Autophagia to Bipolar Disorder to Cotard Delusion and so on. The usual.

Now get this: I don't actually remember why, in fact I'm quite sure there was never any good reason for it, but my Irish teacher took the sheet from me today.

Later, after the bell had rang with the end of the school day, my Year Head, who is also my teacher for that class, asked to speak to me. Being an obedient slave, I complied. She showed me the sheet that my Irish teacher had taken from me, and queried about what was written on it (List of mental disorders from A-Z...But I don't know any starting with Z...Zoophobia? Yeah, that's a thing!) As she asked if I was interested in that sort of thing, I responded in an unusually defensive manner. Even though I wasn't thinking about it in that second, I must have subconsciously recalled my previous encounter with that woman...and its rash coldness.

Hold on to your hats now, though...Because the next thing she brought up was absolutely hilarious! She class claimed that hag, or my Irish teacher, if you wish to show that wretch some undeserved respect...was WORRIED about me! A HAHAHA! What'd I tell you? HILARIOUS!!! Priceless comedy, truly!

Anyway, she went on to say how because that PHOTOCOPIED SHEET was a stand-in for my school journal, I wasn't allowed to do that. Now, I am aware that it is outlined in the school rules that graffiti(drawings) is not to decorate your school journal, but...How can these people classify an alphabetically organised list of mental disorders as GRAFFITI ? Pardon my language, but this is just borderline ridiculous:I wasn't allowed to WRITE on a SHEET OF PAPER that was SUPPOSED to SUBSTITUTE my JOURNAL! They've completely fucking lost it! I wasn't allowed to write, bare this in mind, EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL on a sheet of paper. It was not mindless scribbling, it was an ACADEMIC INTEREST of mine. How dare they pass it off as graffiti....

So, to summarize, in school, you are reprimanded for having interests that deviate from the norm, be they academic or non. You are also reprimanded for showing creativity, and writing ANYTHING  other than homework in your journal. I did not draw graffiti. Nor did I deface any of the journals I've been given by the school. In fact, I still have them all, in pretty good condition. I doubt you'll hear that from any of my classmates.

And that's just it, we get to keep the journals at the end of the year. We don't have to give them back.We paid for them. They are ours. Ha, I'll purposely draw graffiti on my journal from now on, in the most extravagant and noticeable colours possible. It is mine, I paid for it, and I'll do with it what I wish. That is all.

I now sit in my classes each day stabbing holes in my journal with a thumbtack.

Pretty soon, trypophobes won't be able to look at it without fainting.

Fite me Ms.Fish.
