This is my blogging novel. I have been working on this, through fits and starts, for about a year. Read it and let me know what you think.

Step Two>>> The Plan continued...

"So...," I thought to myself. "This old lady really IS as dumb as I think she is."

It took a couple of weeks but I was soon doing absolutely nothing in that class. My heart would pound for a bit, then I would just sit there thinking about what else I could do to fuck with this woman. Although I don't really think I was using words such as "Fuck" when I was in second grade.

Boredom set in by the end of the first day of doing nothing. I had to find something to do. Knowledge, I already knew, was going to be my way to make it in the world. Sitting on my pretty little ass was not going to get me where I wanted to be, therefore, I decided to bone-up on my Geography. I had always been enamoured with the State flags of the United States coffee cans we had around the house, so I thought I might draw up some maps. In fact, that is what I did. I spent the rest of the year studying what I could find in the room about each state AND I drew the maps. I kept it all in a red plastic three-ring binder so I could keep myself organized. I put them in alphabetical order and changed the things as I added more. It was my own project and helped me learn much more than I would have doing the worthless work written on the board. I don't even remember the woman talking in class except to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Some people have no purpose in education. She was definitely one of them. The worthless bitch!

I continued to get "S" grades throughout the entire year. Mind you, a friend of mine got "O" grades and did all the work. I did nothing except put scribbled pages in the boxes with my name on top. "O" would equate to and "A" while the "S" would equate to a "C". If she would have actually graded to work I should have failed the year. Hummmmmmmm???????? Worthless bitch! Oh, I already said that.

Step Two >>> The Plan

After doing my young, but incredibly sophisticated (if I do say so myself) investigation of this worthless piece of human female educator flesh, and formulating my plan, I began to put ideas into action. At first I had to work slowly to ensure I would be able to do what I had hoped.

The first thing I tried was an unadulterated success. I decided to take one of our infernal board (this could also be written bored) based assignments and do it in a different manner than usual. I did the other four as always, within the first hour or so of school, while taking my time on the last one, I think it was my math paper. The waves and scribbles all over the paper, in multiple colors, were painful to my eyes, but I was on a mission. After some indeterminate time I turned that paper in as well. I, as I always did, picked up the first few and put mine underneath. This was my modus operandi even before I concocted this plan. It worked! I was not really surprised, but, yet, I was surprised.

Needless to say, I continued to motivate in this manner.
