lack of creativity

the most annoying thing in the worlds is when i lack all sense of creativity. and am required to write a poem or do things for yearbook. some days i just can't think that way. so why do people require certain designated times to do certain things.? why write a poem when there is no dream behind it? why design something you have no goal for? when i have nothing creative in my system. there is no way i can write a poem in a certain meter that makes any sense. is this what school is made to do?
to make me do things i'm practically incapible of? to make me fry my brains on /
*orbital notation
*and noble gas notation of all kinds of electons? .
*to figure out how much money i could make if i put $100,000 in bonds with a 5.5% interest rate in 30 years?
*to count the sylables in each line of a poem and decide which sylable gets more emphasis.
*and then copy that style and write a poem.
to know things like/
*the Hund's rule,
*and line emission spectrum.
to see/
*how many emperors were bribed by the cardinals

ok. ok. school's not that bad. somedays it just seems impossible. but i'm doing ok. i'm surviving. =D
