Wild tea party.
Not that I watch Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

And what the heck is with the guys at Foster's having The Proud Family on their TV? It seems like that'd be something Cartoon Network wouldn't do. I mean, shouldn't they be watching Ed, Edd, and Eddy or something? If it's got to be mindless, it should at least not be something from Disney Channel.

I'm only looking out for the network, here.

It's bloody stupid, by the way. Okay, so me with my 3.95 GPA and not much else not making NHS is one thing. But my friend who has the grades, several clubs, both Boy and Girl Scouts, a major church thing, and a job, as well as probably some stuff I'm forgetting, didn't.

Honestly? I think if they community you're involved with isn't the school, I don't think they care.

And the thing that kinda irks me is, I've maintained a 3.95 GPA, am enrolled in three AP courses, am part of a church group, have an afterschool job, and have been hanging onto a place in symphony band by my teeth and without a whole lot of musical talent for 3 years, and not even my friends can appreciate all the work that goes into doing all that and still keeping that GPA.

I love how a lot of people think that some people just have the grades naturally, and think it's funny when smart kids slip up or just don't get smart kids frustrated. It takes work, and it takes effort, and it takes time, and because that's not work, effort, and time spent on something bringing the school or whatever the particular organization is immediate recognition or glory, nobody gives a damn. Years from now, the lasting thing is who succeeded in life, not who was the MVP at a local jazzfest or was part of the first football team not to blow it. And I'm clearly going to succeed because I spend my time working for that stupid GPA rather than charing dances for leadership points, and no one cares.

So, in conclusion, when I get to school tomorrow, if I find out that our drug-dealing, pot-smoking vice president got into NHS, I can't express the frustration I'll be feeling for the next week.
