School (and some more)

I enjoy school. There are a few parts of school that I don’t like, but, for the most part, I enjoy it. I get to talk to my friends, learn about interesting things (although a lot of it may not be interesting), and I also have something to do with my time, rather than just lay in bed doing nothing.

My favourite subjects are Math, Computer Science, and Science. I score the best in all of these subjects when compared to other subjects, since I really like them. They do become boring when I learn something that I already know in class. For example, we had to learn Python last year, but very basic python, just learning basic functions, and loops. I had already been coding with Python for around a year at that point, so it was a lot of repetition, which I guess is good since I’m revising, but it was boring. I worked on games in Python whenever I was done with exercises in the class.

I’m not too popular in school, since I don’t play sports, and sit with only my friends at lunch (back when it wasn’t lockdown). People know of me, but not too much about me. They would know what I look like, but that’s the maximum for most people. It is a big school, so I can’t blame them. But I’m not too sad or mad about not being popular, since I don’t care if I’m popular, but I am friends with someone who I would regard as popular, and I can’t say I envy them. People always surround them (slight exaggeration, but it gets the point across), and that doesn’t seem too fun.

I think teachers like me. I do argue/ question what the teachers say, but not in a way in which I try to disrupt classes, or am being disrespectful (at least I think so). The teachers normally have discussions with the students whenever someone asks something, so it’s not just me (although it is only a few students). Whenever we have Parent-Teacher meetings, the teachers do say good things. I don’t know if I want them to say only good things though. If someone just compliments you, you don’t know how to improve from it. Feedback would be better than only compliments I think. I do appreciate that they appreciate me, but I don’t think I’m the best I can be in class.

A lot of the times in school, I do want to have an attitude where I don’t care at all what others think of me, but a lot of times whenever I talk to anyone, friends or strangers, a lot of the time I leave the conversation thinking I was obnoxious. In conversations with my friends, I’ve just started to say in the middle of my sentences, “sorry, I’m probably being obnoxious, I’ll stop”, which I think is the better thing to do, since I’m not being as obnoxious. My friends almost always deny it, to make me feel better, which I appreciate.

I feel like I can communicate without being obnoxious in text better than talking, since I think about what I’m going to type.

I have stopped caring what people who aren’t my friends think of me, which is good. Sometimes I get into arguments with people over text, where they just start insulting me, and at first I got pretty angry, but now I just try to basically troll them. I act dumb to make them more annoyed, and it’s fun. At the end, I do still try to make it clear that their opinion doesn’t matter in my life, which a lot of the times, is a very good argument ender with people who aren’t trying argue with you for a logical reason.
