Why I joined Chess.com

I have earth science once or twice a day, it alternates where I have physical education & earth science one day and the next day I have two full periods of this class. I hate this class. The teacher is nice, but the subject is so boring. It’s even worse that it lasts for two full periods. I try to fall asleep but the chairs are uncomfortable. School code prohibits cell phones, the school blocked everything on the chromebooks, and I always forget my book at home. I honestly feel like it would be better being locked in an empty room for that full hour that I am forced to sit through, because you don’t have the pain of having your chromebook but Cool Math Games and Chess.com are the only things unblocked, where entertainment is so close, yet unreachable, and it leaves you in despair. Even the labs are repetitive, and we already know the solution before we even start, we go through them like robots and think of all the better things we could be doing instead of “going through the motions” for the ten-thousandth time. When I am stuck in this class, I start contemplating life, and how pointless it all is. We live just to die, and in the end there is nothing. Everything vanishes, you forget everything, you, your conscious, it all disappears. I used to be a catholic, until I ran out of topics to ponder on while sitting through this full hour of pure torture, and began contemplating life. I guess that may be one thing I actually got out sixth period earth science, even though it makes me depressed. The worst part of it is how repetitive it is, nothing changes, not to mention that I knew all the material before I even started this class. We spent four weeks on iso fields, and I’ve been doing connect the dots puzzles since I was three. Four whole weeks, spent on nothing but connecting dots. That’s ten and a half hours spent on connecting dots. Imagine being locked in a room for ten and a half hours with nothing but more boring versions of connect the dots puzzles. We spent two weeks on graphing. We did graphing in both of the two sciences courses in the previous grades, and also in the past four years in our math classes. Same thing, over and over and over and over and over again. The only time I actually look forward to this class is on the really stressful days, in which I actually enjoy a class where I can tune out and know I’m not missing anything important, because there’s a ninety percent chance that were just going over something boring for the two-hundredth time that month. But then there’s also the chance we might have to do a lab, which is just as boring and repetitive as the class, but you actually have to pay attention. Like I said before, it’s just going through the motions, over and over and over. We know what to do and how to do it. We know the answers, but we have to “show our work”. We’ve done it one-thousand times in the past, but we just need to do it for the one-thousand and first time to “Make sure we have it down”. It really feels like they’re going for quantity, like they didn’t have enough material to make an entire class so they just dragged out each unit to three weeks each. The teacher tries her best to make the class less boring, but deep down we all know that that’s almost impossible, the subject is just too boring. One day they had a monitor come into the class to see how our class was being taught, and on that day the teacher wouldn’t let us on our chromebooks. Sure, Chess.com isn’t a lot, but it was all I had. I was so bored I couldn’t think straight. I started wishing death upon myself. I was so happy when the class ended, I ended up shouting “Finally, freedom!” right in front of the teacher and I got a dirty look. Thank god our teacher doesn’t use the GoGuardian, or else I probably wouldn’t be here today. If I didn’t have some form of entertainment, my brain probably would have turned to concrete during one of the double periods.

I wrote this during earth science and didn’t miss anything important.

It's also where I got the time to write the ad for the cannibalism website

Not unless you had a time machine. This post was 4 years old. 

But the good news is that the op's feeling probably weren't hurt since he was last online more than a year ago.
