Wood Shop Class

I took wood shop 7 times in school. Twice in 7th grade, only once in 8th grade because I had to take Sex Education even though i had already learned everything from the porn i stole from the liquor store. Then again twice in both 9th and 10th grade. The class was so easy I wish I could have kept taking it but I was forced to take classes like: Economics, Civics and a foreign language. Pssh, as if any of those ever came in handy. Everything i learned in economics has been completely thrown out the window with this recession and the only thing i can remember from Civics class was them teaching us how to balance our bank accounts and write a check. But thanks to the internet and online banking, Civics class can take a hike with Home Ec nowadays!

Anyways, 7 semesters of WooD Shop and all i ever made was a spice rack and a kick ass bed side table that may or may not have been lopsided depending on how your head was tilted when you stood in front of it. But, I'm 100% convinced that if i wasn't forced to take those wussy classes and had the chance to take Wood Shop a handful more times, I know I'd be making shit like this today! Thanks California School Board of Education, you failed this student and his chance to make something of himself.
