I finally figured out what makes me despise my A days and love my B days. My interests.
Yeah, yeah, it seems obvious. But it didn't really seem to hit me until today. I had an awesome day (B day) and wondered what made me like my classes, my classmates, and my teachers more on B days than A days. Interests.
I really hate my A days. AP Physics -- no interest at all, difficult, and I don't like the teacher. Spanish -- interest, but I don't adore my classmates, which is bad in a foreign language class. AP Calculus -- no interest at all, difficult, even though I like my teacher. English -- some interest, lots of pointless work. And I just hate it all. Because I don't love or even like any of it.
However, I really really like, and sometimes love, my B days! Philosophy -- interesting, good teacher, good classmates. AP U.S. History -- interesting, usually good teacher, even though I hate the work (because I'm a super procrastinator). Literary magazine -- interesting, fun, good teacher, awesome classmates. Creative Writing 2 -- interesting, sometimes fun, good teacher, good classmates, good music. I just... my B days are what I want to do forever.
And if I have B days for the rest of my life, I will be:
a) a writer (probably poet)
b) starving
c) a philosopher
d) a teacher
or e) an etymologist
And this might not worry me so much if I could possibly be a, c, or e without simultaneously being b. So... looks more and more likely that I will grow up to be a teacher. o.O Whaat?? If the pay wasn't so bad, I would maybe like it. And if teachers got great benefits... it might be okay. Foolish Utah (and U.S. in general) -- you don't value your teachers enough.
