Misc. Mumblings

Today, I feel like talking about a variety of different things. Random thoughts, movie reviews, and well, life. My life, to be exact.


We have a new project in POE. It is a ballistic device for a ping pong. I'm so excited for the final project, getting there may be a challenge though.... Helen is my partner again this time. I know how I want to build it, but with the pieces that we are supposed to use, I am not sure how it's going to turn out. I'll keep you updated.


I also love my AP German class. They make me smile every 3rd hour. We are an eclectic group to say the least, but together we are a family, through and through. We laugh with and at each other. We bring in snacks because we have B lunch. We speak in German, or at least make a valiant attempt. Oh, and today we will sing Happy Birthday to Chris. Friday is the push-up contest and I cannot wait. BTW, you are dirty, you cannot go.


Just a thought: Maybe people should put creative writing into the school's curriculum and not just essay writing. I can write an essay by now, with little research and hardly any effort. I would love to be a writer when I "grow up," but if I don't know how to write a piece of real literature, I won't last a day out there. As students we write a persuasive essay, after a research paper, after a informational piece. Where is the creativity in that? When you hear writers speak, all them seem to talk about is how great it feels to write about whatever they wish. When you hear teachers speak, they talk about how boring it is to read the same paper over and over. So why don;t you give the students the freedom that the Bill of Rights gave us, and let us write about whatever we wish to. Both parties would be happy and satisfied with this; however, we continue to write mind-numbing essays about nothing.


Another thing that crosses my mind all the time, is why do I need a boyfriend? I am perfectly happy with my friends, both guys and girls, just the way they are. When I find a guy that cares about me and treats me well and asks me out for himself in person, then I will have a boyfriend. So just lay off. I don't need a boy with me 24/7 to be fulfilled in life. 'Nuff said.


On a much happier note, I get a new phone Saturday. It's the Gravity 2! :)
