Future Noncareers

Physics is a class which seems to have been made for the express purpose of reminding me that I'm not so smart. Well, Physics and Trigonometry are both adept at this honorable goal, but I digress.
Usually, physics is math. There is almost no difference between physics problems and math problems except physics has an ego and likes saying that it's science.
Except when it tries to be all scientific and hands-on.
Like today, when we are currently in the process of making a power strip. I realized at least two things in that class:
  • Some boys don't deserve to exist, and they exist for the sole purpose of making the rest of us feel slimy and murderous.
  • Electrician is at least one more career I will never have.
My list of noncareers (careers I will never have) has been lengthened considerably this year, which just shows you how school can be. Providing me with opportunities and crushing dreams I never knew I had. Just this year:
  • Actor
  • Gymnast
  • Volleyball player
  • Mathematician
  • Truck driver (but that's a long story)
  • Dancer (of any kind, and I knew this years ago, but the way it was proven to me this year makes me shudder at the pain of repressed embarrassing memories)
  • And now electrician...
I'm not proficient at a lot of things... but we can only hope I don't have to fall back on any of these.
Also, I have a math test. And a headache. But that's okay.
No, it's not.
