Whining. A Right? or Annoyance?

1:30 am of November 19, 2008. I am just sitting here for a friend to finish up some revisions of her Extended Essay. I sit here waiting for a few minutes, wondering how long it has been since we started working on the essay. More than 4 months, definitely. They say, it's a "great experience," and that "it will make other papers seem easy to finish up and shorter as well." While all this might be true, another thing that's also true is that once you become an IB student, It becomes you God given right to whine, complain, and bitch about how much work we get, how many things we are expected to take care of, and how we always have to stand out, because, well, we are IBians.

So right now since I am just waiting, I thought, I might as well exercise my right and whine a little about the Extended Essay, or simply about how much, us, IBians have to work compared to other students. I mean c'mon, this just isn't cool. Over 4 months of work for one paper, who are we kidding, that's too much work. Omg, this just isn't fair.

1:40 am. Still waiting for my friend to finish up her revisions. Did exercise my right, but what good did came out of it. We all at some point whine about how much work we do, and how the work load isn't always fair. We never, however, complain about how we are somewhat privileged compared to other students, at least in Senn High. We never complain about how we get special attention, labs when needed, or just simply the fact that we'll have the college's preference when it comes to that. I guess what I am trying to say is, whine, always do it. Because exercising your rights isn't something bad at all. But! at the same time, consider the fact, what good is it going to do? Is it going to change anything? or will it just make you an annoying person?

1:45 am. She's done with her revisions for time being. More revisions will be made for sure, by almost all of us. Exercise your right. But! don't over do it, because, well, it doesn't do a damn thing and it's annoying.
