A Frickin' Rant

So I have this class, it's called Video Ed. The concept of it is really cool, you learn how to use photoshop, you learn how a computer works, that kind of stuff.

Sound great right?

NOPE! You see, I am an introverted person. A mediator on the Myers Briggs scale, and I don't trust people with myself very easily. People need to earn or deserve my trust first, and that is something that this teacher and the students in this class has not done. I'm one of the only 8th graders in that class, which is a little weird.

So in this class, which I am only 4 weeks into, we had a project. It was a photoshop project. We were to find an ancient painting or photo that looks like us. We're supposed to photoshop our face onto the pictures face. Which first of all, is weird. 

Remember when I said that I don't trust myself with people? Well that goes as far as not trusting anyone to see my face if I can help it. I don't like my picture being taken, and I am always hyper-aware of other people in the same room as me. Which makes this kind of project scary as all hell. Showing people I barely know me and my (probably bad) ability to photoshop? Hell nah.

About a week after this endeavor, we got another project. We were supposed to choose a subject, not a school subject, just something that was going on in the world at the moment. We were supposed to research the subject, write a minute long script, and record ourselves reading it and basically "reporting" on it.

Okay, sure; you want me to edit my face on someone else? I doubt I would do that in the first place, but this teach wants me to fucking record myself?! As I'm speaking? My voice is surprisingly high, even for a 13 year old, and it just gets higher on film. So I just sound like a 5 year old that lost control of their vocal chords.

No one in their right mind deals with my voice over the phone, unless it's someone I trust fully. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Nope, no thank you. I strongly dislike everything this class is and most likely will continue to be.

At this point, I don't even fucking care about my damn grade in that class. Video ed can piss off.
