Restricting Creativity 3/17/10

It seems like everything in my life right now is screaming at me to finish my homework, and get good grades. What if my ideal career is in film? That has nothing to do with Chemistry, Algebra 2 or Ap European History. Its excessive, I barely have time to write on this blog. I say there should be schools available strictly on a creative basis.

The elusive IB program....its the bane of many of my classmates existance. However they are not taking the right things from it. If academics is what you think I get from this program you would be plainly wrong. My entire film career is hinged on observation, people and their deepest darkest feelings. I appreciate my hobby of people watching. I pride myself in the art of people reading. The IB program is a breeding ground to narcissism, weirdness and opinionated personas. Sometimes I hate it. Other times I use just someones look to delve into them and create a whole made up back story detailing their escapades. Weird? Yeah. I get that a lot. This is the only existing method of sanity keeping I have among the seas of notes and formulas, that I drown in academically.

My advice to up and coming IB freshman, is observe the people around you and determine from them the nature of human condition. I will take more people lessons from Ms. Chen the person than her class Chemistry.
