Any form of work. Schoolwork, paperwork, stuff like that. I'd love to just live my life writing stories, essays, what's on my mind, shooting some photographs, playing games, doing stuff with friends, and get paid for it.
Then there's the matter of my high school's administration. It's one big joke, a ridiculous bureaucracy. I'm not sure if this is a thing that only us LAUSD students experience, but does anyone else have a problem with the mfing emergency cards? 10th grade, I never received the card in the mail, and I didn't think about it. I get my program of classes, they tell me to sign a piece of notebook paper because I didn't have the card with me. Weeks later, I find out the paper was supposedly a contract stating I'd bring in the card the next day (there was nothing written on the paper, I wasn't told that, and I wrote my name, not signed it). They tell me this, I figure, ok, give me the card, I'll have it by tomorrow. The a-hole blonde lady in the nurse's office (the nurse is never there, I've never seen her, only this blonde woman who makes it a living hell to ask for a bandage) sent me to B-1, the disciplinary office, basically detention. I am to stay there until my mom takes time off of work to take the card to the school, or until the day is over. Basically, because of a stupid card that has information that has not changed in a year, something that's supposedly for my own good, I'm forced to either miss 4 classes (being in B-1 is non-excuse, essentially you miss work you can't make it up), or have my mom take off work and drive 5 miles to deal with it. She did it. I also almost got detention for not having a doctor's note, one that I was told I could bring any time during the semester, the blonde lady took it upon herself to threaten me with detention and suspension unless I brought it the next day. (I didn't even tell them I had my doctor's appointment yet)
