Eww.. Monday...

MORNING
Did some government homework.. Panyerz brought some stuff for the centerpiece, lol. XD We're gonna work on it tomorrow. XP


ROTC
Did PT in squads then at 9:00, LET1s went to the track to run the mile and LET2s stayed with me and drilled. I was calling commands (EWWW!), but they sucked SO. FREAKIN. MUCH! *sigh* So sad.. Drilled for the whole period.. They still don't understand the concept of saying "Step, Turn" when they have to step and turn. I mean, come on! How hard is that?! >O But yeah.. Rear march is getting better. Alignment needs work. Columns are.. eh. Flanks are worse. Don't know the difference between column and flanks 'cause half the time when I called a column, they did a flank. x_x But besides that.. I guess we're improving? =/


GOVERNMENT
Finished the notetaking and questions that we were suppose to do.. After that, did a whole lot of nothing since I didn't feel like it.. We were suppose to work on our welfare plans, but yeah..


LUNCH
Line was too long so didn't get food.. Good thing bobbleheadvi shared... BLEH! That was about it.


AP CALCULUS
Went over homework.. Isn't that all we ever do now? x_x Got our quizes back.. Got a 9! YES! Mwhahaha. My grade is now a 92% Almost a solid A, hahah. I'll be in the A+ range yet! XP


ART
Worked a little on the powerpoint we have to do then finished it and then just went online. XP


AFTER SCHOOL
Had a dumb meeting.. BLEH! Talked about potential staff members for next year and stuff.. So dumb.. It's like, some of those names, I didn't agree with at all, and their opinions.. Oh hell no, but it was like, whenever I said anything, Eric just shot me down so after one or two times of commenting, I was just like, forget that. Just wrote down what they said. So freakin' dumb. It's like.. ARGH! Stupid people! THINK! Oh yes, they can be a good leader and do the work, but then, ANYONE can! You need to consider their work habits, their attitudes, their drama, their bagage! You need to consider their dedication and their potential workload for the upcoming year. You can't just say, "Hey, so-and-so seems good right now, let's dump it on them!" No. It doesn't work that way. I'm sorry, but come on! GPA is also a requirement here! People with less than a 2.5 and Fs are gonna make the cut. People who are prone to falling behind in class can't make the cut. People who freakin' PDA all the time CAN NOT MAKE THE CUT! And yet, they are still on the potential list. When I tried to say something about ONE person on the list, I was cut down so fast that I didn't even say anything afterwards. I mean, come on. Out of those people, I'm the smartest. I'm the most rational. I'm the only one who is generally on top of their work! And yet my opinion counts for shit. Hmm.. somehow, it isn't right.

Anyway.. On to the potential candidates. I don't have that much time to talk about it since I was working on my essays earlier, but I'll briefly discuss some of them. And this confidential crack Eric was trying to enforce? Pshh. Like I care who sees this.

On the Battalion Commander list, there were three names: aznearthdragon, Joey, and Sandy.

First, they talked about aznearthdragon. The bad, according to Eric? She's not in ROTC. I said, "Yes she is. Fifth period" and the rebuttal? "I mean a real class period". Okay, I guess I can accept that, but I had to defend my girl 'cause seriously.. WTF!

ME: She's a junior! Junior year is the busiest year!
HIM: Yeah, okay.. *a second later* Wait! No it's not! I still had it!
ME: Yes it is! If you're going to college, it is! You're not going to college, so you can't say anything!
HIM: Well, I was still preping for college last year --
ME: But she's taking advanced classes and stuff. You wouldn't know!
HIM: Alright! Geez! Why do you have to argue?

ARGH! Why do I have to argue? WTF is that?! Just 'cause my girl has to take her required classes to graduate and he's sitting there arguing with ME. WTF. He can't even say shit 'cause I've seen his grades and stuff from freshman and sophomore years. Preping for college, huh? What college was he planning to attend? Mesa? He took so many easy classes too. How can he compare his schedule with hers? It just made me mad that he would even consider saying she's not a good leader because OMG she would rather take college prep classes than waste a class period on an easy A and doesn't even count towards the GPA when you apply for college. Whatever.

After that, it was Joey. They didn't really say much 'cause we all know how Joey is.

Last in this category: Sandy.

ME: Why is she there? She's only going to be a junior next year.
HIM: Blah blah blah Col. blah blah blah tripping blah blah blah.
ME: But she's not even going to get chosen, so why is she there?
HIM: Blah blah blah and a lot of other BS that has nothing to do with my question.

The point? Why is she there? There is a 500% chance she's not gonna be Battalion Commander. Why waste our time even TALKING about it? But there it was. Obviously I'm the only one with a brain 'cause no one else even said anything. Ah, but that is life, huh? People wasting your precious time talking about stupid BS that is irrelavent. >O After that, I was like, forget talking. Keep my thoughts to myself. Well.. except for one minor outburst from me when they were talking about Panyia and how they had her as staff and they wanted her as a company commander and then putting Gunar in staff and Panyerz in company commander. I said, "You can be staff AND a company commander..!" and Eric was all like, "I know, but blah blah blah blah" and there was no point to his fucked up answer 'cause HELLO! The only staff member that is a company commander! Whatever he said was irrelevant and he has no fuckin' room to talk so why doesn't he shut his trap about shit he doesn't know? >O

But yeah.. Now, just some names..

BN Co
- aznearthdragon
- Joey
- Sandy

Staff
- Schnizler
- Catherz (they say S-3?)
- Panyerz (they say company commander?)
- Victoria
- Elwood

Company Commanders
- Gunar (they say staff?)
- Russell
- Tim (they say CSM?)
- Yann
- Anthony

Others
- Adrianna Hernandez
- Olivier

The prenthesis are comments made after the list. Some other details...

"Oh we don't need good people on staff.. Just company commanders.. We don't need a good BN Co, they're just the figurehead.. Crappy people can be the staff as long as we have good leaders..." Oh yes, the sense it makes, huh? I so love these people. I know that if I lived in a world where they were in charge, we would be dead. XD XD XD Yes, feel my sarcasm. Also note that next year is an RFI year and they still have these oh-so-lovely thoughts. Ahh.. and these are people who are going into the military too! I don't know how I feel about them with weapons, but whatever.

Last note for the day.. They said that Adrianna would be a good leader but not a company commander 'cause "she doesn't have the experience. Maybe after another year".. Uhh.. I think she'll make a great company commander! And another year, huh? Wow, I didn't know a freshman in college could be in charge of a high school ROTC. Guess they didn't consider the fact that she's a LET4 next year, eh? And how much more experience do you need if you've already been a squad member, squad leader, and a first sergeant? Wow.. so smart they are. Much love to my fellow leaders.


I'll stop now 'cause their stupidity has no bounds and I could go on forever, but I need sleep. G'night.
