Boring day.

PE: Archery. Last day. Shot at little thingies from 10 yards. Could win varoius things. Got 2 licorice and a huge Crunch bar.

Music: Sub. So basically, we did nothing.

Life Science: Workbook stuff.

Algebra: Went over stuff. This stuff is so easy now, this is my favorite kind of Algebra. I actually can't wait til the test tomorrow.

French: Exercises/Book work. Easy, good. Love French.

Humanities: Library and free work period. Our teacher moved the desks but she's been too lazy to create a seating chart so, for now, we can sit wherever we want. I sat next to Lulu, which was probably a bad idea. In the middle of the work period, it was completely silent and I was working, but all of a sudden I heard Lulu laughing oddly next to me. I stared at her and she said "I find that when I laugh, I make funny noises." I wasn't about to disagree with that, so I stared at her more and she said "Like you never laugh." I started cracking up because both things she said were completely random, but then my teacher was looking at me so I stopped.


I should be packing now. I'm going to Big Bear this weekend, straight from school tomorrow, with Annie. But I'm too lazy to. HOWEVER, I actually MADE A LIST! WOOO! How much you want to bet I lose it?
...oh crap, I think I already have. o.O

No rants for now, I'll probably have one either Thursday or sometime next week ;) Right now, I must plug Something Else. In case you're wondering, it's a joint blog between me and several friends. Right now we have 4 people (me, Annie, Adri, and Jackie) but I'm going to get more on it ;) Anyways, check it out if you feel like it. =)

Heh. I find it so funny when people try to support Bush/the war.

Let me first say, right off the bat, I hate the Republican Party and I hate Bush. If you feel differently, than I'm sorry, but I have the right to say my opinion. And please don't criticize me for being anti-American, I already know that I am. And also I'd like to clarify: I don't support the war or Bush, but I do support the troops in Iraq and hope they succeed.

Now, on with what I was going to say. I was surfing blogs and I read this in one of them:

You know what I hate? Damned liberal idiots talking about "our stupid President," and how they're ashamed to be Americans/from Texas/whatever. That's just bullshit. Let's try this on for size: W has a Bachelor's degree in history from Yale, and a Master's in business management from Harvard. Yes, that's right. Yale. Harvard. As in, the man is damn smart. Damn sight smarter than most of the people who bitch about his stupidity.

It's amusing when they try to support him when they don't have any of the facts. Damn smart? George W. Bush has one of the three lowest IQ scores. So how'd he get into Yale and Harvard? Well here's something: first off, he didn't even get into the University of Texas (or whatever it's called, I'm bad at names). They didn't accept him. However, they did at Yale because his father went there, and because his father's father as well. The Bushes had a great legacy there, and obviously they're not going to turn him down. Don't criticize me for saying this, that's just how it is. It's not just him, there are plenty of other families it occurs with too.

So, Bush is in fact not "damn smart". BTW, if you wrote this and you're pissed at me for some reason, then let me know. Or if you disagree with me, feel free to sound off in my little Chatterbox on the bottom right. I'd be happy to debate it with you ;)

God, I'm so stressed x.x

PE: Archery. Lowest score of everyone. I had 67, the rest of the people in my group were around the 120s, except for one person with 93. I have a problem with aiming: I can't.

Music: Music instructor feeling badly, free period. Caught up on homework and crap.

Life Science: We're going to have absolutely no time at all to work on this stupid project that doesn't even relate to what we're learning. Did bookwork. Boring.

Algebra: Worksheet and practice problems in class. The people in my Algebra are so stupid x.x And this stuff is getting so easy now, I actually understand it, lol.

French: Chapitre dix continued. We learn all about clothes and stuff. It's weird.

Humanities: Gah. VEP test, corrected a chapter thingy in class, and.... I think that was basically it. I lost my VEP packet with her little checkmark thingy on it, so I had to do it myself by hand. I think I'm going to get like 20 points off for no check mark. Plus, I also suddenly lost my Exercise A+B even though it was in there 3rd period, so that's 40 points off. Total, I think I got 140/200, which is basically a C-. T.T

The day pretty much sucked. *sigh* Good Charlotte #1 on TRL today, Simple Plan at #10. Yay for GC, not that it's that important, really.

And now I have to go off and finish all my homework. Double sigh. Will rant later, if I have any free time.

Ok, I finished making the site more... me. The graphics are all done by me, took about 45 min to complete and put up T.T I waste too much time on things like this.

Anyways. Everyone's at the honor orchestra/band concert. Well, not everyone, obviously; I'm not, Jackie's not, Sherry's not, etc. But... Annie is, and... well that's the only person I talk to regularly and rant to regularly, so she's all that matters right now T.T;;; So, I have this instead. And... when I'm bored (which I am now), I make graphics. Here's some recent graphics I made when I was bored:



Note: I love Benji (of Good Charlotte's) hair the way it is now, even though I liked it more before. However, my friend was obsessed with his old hair and was very unhappy that it changed. So, I made this wallpaper for her. I don't mean any offense to Benji at all, I do like his hair. Just to clarify, don't send me e-mails screaming at me that it doesn't matter how Benji looks ;)













That's all for now ;) Let me know what you think =)

Rant #1: Homework
Yeah, everyone rants about it. However, usually the rants are stupid and have no points. In mine, I hope to actually make some valid points.

First off, the time we have to do it isn't fair. In Life Science we were just assigned a project today (which doesn't even have anything to do with what we're learning. We're learning about characteristics of living things, and it's about nutrition) and it's due on Monday. We have to work on it in groups and we only had today in class to work on it. Today was spent just getting recipes and writing down their nutritional information and crap. We asked Mrs. O'Brien if we'd be given anymore time. She said no, that we had to get together, on our own personal time, to work on it. That's not fair to any of us. We already have loads of homework, projects, and activities preventing us from working on it this afternoon, Wednesday, or Thursday. In addition to that, I'm going up to Big Bear this weekend. I won't even be in this city to work on it, it'll be impossible for us to meet, especially since another member of the group is otherwise obligated with family things this weekend. The other 2 people left are slackers and never do anything at all, much less know we have a project.

Homework is pointless, IMO. What is homework for? To help you learn and understand what you already learned in school better. It'd be one thing if the homework we were given actually did that, but it doesn't. Homework doesn't help at all, and the proof of that is my French class. We never get homework, we do all work in class. The only thing we have to do on our own time is study. And that's the class that I'm doing best in right now. We don't need homework to help us in there, we just ask questions and work through everything together.

Another thing, my Humanities teacher is always complaining about how much grading she has to do. Well... uh... who's fault is that? You go over every paper meticulously, trying to find the smallest errors. And, if she'd assign less homework, maybe she wouldn't have to grade as much. Ever think about that? Besides, if teachers are complaining about the work they have to grade, that shows that there's a lot of work being assigned.

We're in school for 6 1/2 hours, 7 1/2 if you have 0 Period PE (which I do). We learn and work hard all day long, and then when we finally get home, what do we have to do? More work. School is for learning, but we should be able to have a life, and relax once and awhile. Constant work doesn't help at all.

So, that's why IMO homework sucks and is useless.

Rants to come:
the war
rap
"punks"/teenies/etc.
the media
Avril Lavigne along with a few other bands/singers/etc.

First post. I had a blog before, but my friends knew that one. I want my own place where I can vent without their prying eyes.

I'm worried. I'm not talking about the world, though I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about that. I'm worried about my family, about how much fucking homework is piling up, about school in general. But mostly, I'm worrying about my friends.

I'm worried Annie isn't going to go to UNI. I'm worried about Galaxy; a month or two ago she was talking about how much her parents were fighting and she was complaining that sometimes her mom would actually sleep in her room because she didn't want to sleep in the same room as her father.

However, at the moment, I'm mostly worried about Adri. However, it's her story to tell, and if you honestly care you can read it in Adri's Journal. It looks like there's no text, but highlight the text area and you can read it. I feel awful for her, though I bet she doesn't want my pity. Things just really suck for her now.
