Hey peeps, how's everyone's week going? Mine was pretty good considering it was the first week back after Christmas break. The work load isn't that heavy thanks to exams coming up soon, though exams aren't really something to be looked forward to. I have a feeling this is going to be a tough one so that's why I'm planning on actually studying for two weeks ahead of time instead of the day before as I have done previously. I am least looking forward to my English exam though because if the format our teacher has chosen gets approved then there's going to be seven essays on our three hour exam. I don't know how your exams are usually like, so this could just be me, but I've never done seven essays on one exam. It's going to be a struggle to get it done in time.
There's some turmoil going on right now with the Canadian government that has to do with same-sex marriages. Canada has had legalized same-sex marriages for a while now, and we've also allowed same-sex couples from other countries to get married here. But just recently it has been brought up that apparently if the people came from somewhere that didn't allow same-sex marriage then the marriage may have never been valid. You can read about it here or by googling around about it. (I encourage doing so in case I haven't explained things well.) It doesn't make much sense in my mind, I could understand it a bit more if the place they were from maybe didn't recognize the marriage, but at the very least Canada should recognize it since they were the ones that allowed it. Either way our government is going to have to explain things before it gets too out of hand, in most of the comments I've read the people were upset and a little confused about the whole situation. Any thoughts?
Katie, I really enjoyed the twitter that you linked, gave me quite a laugh reading through it. About the contacts with internet, though it could be very very usefull I could see that going very wrong in terms of mass enslavement of the people. I mean it probably couldn't be that hard for some computer hacker to do, don't you think? Brains are controlled by electrical impulses after all. But that's just me thinking on the negative. And I don't really have anything to add in terms of time travel.
Kira, robotics sound really interesting, especially because we dont have anything like that around where I live. Is it very difficult to do? Is it fun? Also for your question, like Deidra I have one that I made in grade 10, but a lot of the stuff on it has probably changed because I wasn't really thinking all that deeply about it when I first made it. And I haven't really looked at it for a while so it probably needs some editing.
Congratulations to everyone on all your good marks. And I hope your trip is going well Adam.
