Frustrated with a lot of ****.

So close, yet so far. Got to type up ~70 references for over 18,000 words in my dissertation. Going slightly mad.
I'll be so glad when I finish this and go back to my normal course.

I'm only good at science. Guess I'm screwed lol.Heh. As long as you know how to write you don't really need to know anything else to get through the education system. Save, perhaps, math.
Frustrated over being stuck inbetween 2 worlds. Its what happens when you're a deaf person with his hearing surgically restored to a level that far exceeds that of any other people like me in sweden, but still isnt enough to function flawlessly in certain social arrangements. Tournaments are often an issue, for example. People judge me constantly, either because of them being oblivious to my condition or due to them thinking that im not handling it as well as i should be. I get told that i cast the blame on others when i state that my problems in communicating cannot possibly be self caused in entirity.
Some people react with emotions of hate, fear and anger when they realize what i am, and some dislike me for merely existing. I cant reach much understanding with the deaf community or others like me either. Its really like being a fly stuck between the inner and outer glasses of a window, and it feels like i cant break free either.
To top it off, some like to spit phrases such as "you are able to 'quit' hearing at any time and we'll respect your choice if you do so", but its seldom more than empty words, spoken by those who merely wish to fit in and try to 'please' me. Me trying to deactivate my hearing while being with these people has shown that, in my eyes. On the bright side, a few others have been genuine in their words and i thank them for that.
While ive come to terms with my social situation long ago and chosen to not mind the sentiments of others, i cant help being frustrated to no end by my shortcomings in hearing. I try all possible means to circumvent them, such as practicing lip reading to ridiculous lengths, but i constantly let myself down when i fail. While its in all likelyhood merely a mindset problem, i often feel like theres nothing to be done about it. This definitely affects me in everything that i do, which frustrates me even more. Im a scrub and cant even suck up to what life gave me.
I know that i have the ideas and necessary means to make a difference in this world, disregarding my handicap, but i sometimes fall to stoicism out of fear of failure. I fight with my parents alot over petty matters just to let the frustrations out; its simply too much to bear. While they understand why and forgive me at the end of the day, i still loathe it more than anything.
At the end of the day, it feels like no matter what i do or accomplish in life, be it getting near straight As in school for yet another year, winning cool prizes at amusement parks and giving them away to children or placing high in tournaments, it simply holds no real value to me. I might feel happy for a few moments, but
then i simply succumb to feeling empty and unfulfulled yet again. Probably, the only thing i will ever be able to celebrate is me surpassing my hearing, and whenever that day will come, i do not know, so i bide my time, spending every minute i am awake to figure out new ideas and methods to hear better.
Been needing to get this off ny chest for a long *** time, i dont expect any responses but i hope you read this in its entirety.

I hate myself, and my entire existence is a contradiction. I have fairly low self esteem, and though I'm extroverted, I act like an introvert. Furthermore the things I enjoy are fading out. Melty is just about dead in the USA, melees popularity I forsee waning in the next year or two, and eventually going to obscurity. The games in recent history disappoint me and I lack the confidence and drive to pick up ssf4 competitively. Things I used to enjoy no longer have that spark, and no releases in recent history have been any good.
I do ha e a new hobby but again, its a contradiction against my nature. I'm becoming an audiophile, dumping whatever money that doesn't go toward my Genesis fund toward audio CDs, headphones, a new dap, flac albums, amps, etc.
My next problem is that I crave social interaction, yet I alienate myself due to my inability to seal with people who are stupid or ignorant and unwilling to learn. Furthermore I dislike most social norms and the things I do enjoy I'm alienated from. On swf people hate how I post,and I hate how ****ing stupid the community is as a whole. The anime community I can't stand either. I'm growing up so I can't associate with the younger crowd without potential conflicts, and I'm not hardcore enough into the community to get along with most people anyway. Many of the games I play I'm either not good snogged to be taken seriously by the hardcore crowd, or too serious to not get pissed off at casual noobs, not to be confused with someone willing to learn. Music is a problem too. Many of my favorite artists are considered bad or are just obscure and all of the people I know dony enjoy them. Even online hardly anyone likes what I do, and because I'm fairly knowledgeable about music I alienate people who listen to music casually but people who really know music think and talk circles around me.
There's a lot out there I haven't tried but that's mostly because I am very self aware and I know what I do and do not dislike. Part of this is just ranting because I'm upset with myself and part of it is looking for help.

You sound like the point of life is to be better than people. Why can't you just have a good time with your hobbies? You should start running or lifting weights or something. That way you can just compete against yourself and see tangible, healthy results, and maybe make a friend or two in the process.

So yeah, my little brother has some pretty bad porn gathering habbits, like leaving folders minimized while he's afk and other people are in the house, using microsoft word files, and not deleting his web history.
I saw what he'd been digging through briefly, closed it out and after leaving, spent most of the day thinking about what kind of images I could implant in those word files to make him rage. I was thinking about putting in some tentacle stuff, some furries, some kim possible, gay porn, stuff that I could find on /d/ etc.
I get home now and am about to start doing this, so I look through some of his stuff and found that all of that stuff was already there.
Mixed feelings of disgust and amusement right now.

Well I checked my online course and it said that I have been dropped from it. I am furious right now because I have no idea whats going on right now. I am literally about to be in tears and that never happens. I have been trying to contact my advisors for the past couple days. (I know it's memorial weekend but they said they would be there on their message machine) So I don't know what to do. If I am permenetelly dropped then I will not be able to graduate in a couple weeks. I am seriously freaking out right now because I have no idea why. Like apparently it says for attendance which is BS.
edit; I got a message from the school and they said they are looking over my cause and see if it's a problem or not. I hope it works out and they don't screw me over.

I'm going to go on a rant for a little bit. My mom is very strict. I'm expected to maintain straight A's and for the most part I do. the thing is, when I get home from school, I'm expected to study 4 hours in my room straight. I mean that's so ****ing excessive and ridiculous. It's gotten to the point where every day I come home, lie and say I went to tutoring for an hour just to get done faster. Then i go in my room and do my homework which takes me all of an hour at most. After that I just surf the web for the next 2-3 hours. I mean all I can do is go on smashboards or facebook or other things.
And what do I have to look forward to when I finish my 3 hours of 'studying". Well by that time it's 8 00 and my only options really are TV or video games since my mom won't let me go hang out with friends that late on a school night. then i go to sleep at 10 and it's wash rinse and repeat. I'm only allowed to hang out with friends once a week which is generally Saturday since Friday I have to come home and study and Sunday I have volunteer work. I feel like my life is so bland and uninteresting. I mean I have friends and I'm a likeable person, but the highlight of my day is just going home on the train with a friend and talking. Without the studying(since I barely do it) i still pull straight A's most of the time.
i have a 92 average which is pretty high considering how difficult my high school is. I worked hard to get here since it was a test that like 30,000 people take. i feel like I've been trying hard all my life just so I can try harder. And there's nothing wrong with some studying but I don't want to miss out on a childhood because I can't hang out wtih friends more and am supposed to be locked away in my room studying. And I'm not even THAT unhappy. I just look at my life sometimes and get a bit depressed. i still love my parents and everything they've done for me, but UGH. the worst part is, because things always came to me more naturally than my younger sister, she's not expected to do as well. She's not expected to get into the best high school in the city and one of the best in the country. She's not expected to do the ridiculous work I do.

I feel something that's so far beyond pity for you that there's really no name for it.
If submission doesn't work, the only other option is naked rebellion. Scholastic intelligence is infinitely less useful than real life intelligence. As a kid, your job isn't to go to school, it's to be a goddamn kid.
Your mom is externalizing her own inner demons and using you as a method to vicariously reach catharsis for some unresolved issue in her own past, probably regarding education or restrictive parents. Not only is this damaging, it's selfish and unhealthy.
Tell her that your happiness and emotional well-being is more important than adhering to whatever arbitrary schedule of study that she feels is necessary to subject you to.
Tell her you're depressed, and it's her fault.

Slept over at a friend's house and I get home to my mom yelling at me. She tells me I shouldn't have slept over because I should be studying for regents. She told me to study for 6 hours and because I just got home, I ruined the day for the entire family. Now we can't go out and do anything cause I have to study for 6 hours. I got into an argument with her but apparently me telling her how much I study and how much I hate being locked up in this one ****ing room means I don't care about her or her life. And now I'm stuck in the same room again studying and I feel like ****.
Whatever. Apparently it's my fault. We could have moved to the suburbs where the school system would have been easier. But because I chose the city where I grew up, it's my fault that I study 4 hours a day. It's my fault that I'm miserable in the same room every day. And it's my fault I have to study because we wouldn't have these problems if I had chosen the suburbs. My mom says if I had chosen the suburbs, I wouldn't have to study 4 hours a day. But whatever. I grew up here and all my friends are here. How could I have chosen to move to the suburbs after being here so long. So I guess that makes it all my fault then. If I had chosen the suburbs over where i grew up, I wouldnt be stuck in a room studying.
god I have such a headache.
edit; Well I just had a nice talk with my parents. I told them how unnecessary the time they expect me to put in is. So now instead of four hours, I only study 3 hours a day(still a little excessive but it's a start). If I don't maintain a 90 average, i go back to 4 hours. Honestly it won't be a problem. I can easily keep up a 90.

Though not as excessive, my mum acted similarly when I was younger. She expected me to work obscene lengths of time. When I was 13, I yelled at her and said I'll do my work when and how I want to. I rarely shout at her. She didn't say anything that day, but hasn't tried to control my academic life since. While my work ethic is a little terrible, I always get my work done when it counts. My parents know that. These days, I'm able to joke about skipping lectures or messing up papers or not revising much for certain exams without them getting mad. When I do badly, they never say I should have worked harder - they assume I was unlucky or blame the exam instead .
You need to convince your parents you are mature enough to handle your work by yourself and that they can trust you. Or just wait till you go to university and you won't have them constantly breathing down your neck lol.

Im concerned about my future education...
obviously i will want to go to the best college I can (i just finished sophomore year in high school), and the school i am at right now is amazing. I am getting a great education, but i cant help but wonder if im too lazy to get ahead.
i try not to be arrogant at all, but i really spend less than 30 mins on hw on average, and i get all A's. (my school's GPA goes up to 4.3, and i currently have a 4.094) i am concerned though how college will be for me. hopefully i will get accepted into MIT, but i dont feel it will be what i expect.
i have barely studied throughout my whole education. it seems it just comes naturally, and i fear college is going to be extremely difficult considering i lack study skills most students will have because of high school. my laziness is basically a defining factor of my life.
if my dad isnt yelling at me to do extra credit, i simply will not. i am just too lazy. im afraid this laziness and lack of study skills will ruin my chances at graduating college and getting a good job. so my question for u guys: is it my fault that i need not study if i simply dont have to in order to pass?
