Use Somebody

So, today was the first day of my March Break. I don't feel anymore relaxed than two days ago. I am still stressed out my whole article/teacher offence ordeal..I found on on thursday that the teacher I "offended" wrote a letter about myself and my journalism class; then showed it to several teachers, boasting about it. Now, I am offended. Am I not allowed to express my opinions and thoughts towards certain matters? I believe that some do think that way at my high school. I find it very unfair; they teach us to take advantage of our freedom of speech and what do that do when you actually take it, they tell you to stop complaining and not get involved. They criticize you and disapprove of any form of rebellion. I believe that High School is the one place where you learn to break away from the"herd". Although, the curriculum will not show you how to; you basically have to find your voice and start from there. It is hard, I will admit. I learned to stand up for what I believed in my senoir year. I felt so scared and timid to voice my thoughts out. I find they make schooling a dictatorship. You have to follow ALL the rules and stay quiet. Those who stand up get punished. Well, i think it can be fun to stir things up a little and have a change in the atmosphere.

Enough talk about school and its ways. Tomorrow I plan to take some pictures! I haven't photographed anything in a while now. My fingers itch to use my camera. Ah, my camera; it's a vintaged film camera. Dying on me now. I need to upgrade to a new model. It's costing me a little bundle to pay for the expanses of owning a film camera. So, let's hope for good weather and ideas to come.
