Sure to be edited some time.

As far as I remember it hasn't been long since I last wrote something... although I can't rememer what it was, and I'm not going to look so it doesn't influence what I'm writing now.

What I want to write about today, is the pleasure of being able to study and practice your interests to your heart's desire. It's something that we can really rarely do, because most of the work we do at school is so far away from us, so abstract, so distant to our lives, and tought in such a way that it ends up being lost somewhere at the back of our minds.

So this leaves me at the door of a certain mental... paradox maybe? that has been ruling my mind for a very long time. And that is... the current spanish educational system.

I just think it's so very limited. It's poisoned by ideas that have nothing to do with what real education is and it limits the student greatly.

We study subjects we have no interest in for years and years until we are finally allowed to drop them. This is supposed to give us a chance to realise what the subject is about in depth, and if there exists the possibility of us taking a liking to it, but of course, it goes on for much too long, and it's ended up making me commit an involuntary mental suicide. I just despise school in general now.

Another thing that's very annoying is how it's always a top priority to do hundereds of exams before making sure that everybody is actually able to understand the classes themselves.
And of course if you fail something, it's your problem and yours alone.

My list goes on and on and on till the end of time and space and I just wrote this because i was a bit bored and in need to get back at my school for constantly bombarding my days with too many exams to study while living a decent life at the same time.

My greatest complaint is that, we are not teached so we can learn, our so called teachers only recite what we are supposed to know so we can memorize and spit it out at some other point of the year.
