I like to burn things.

Does that make me crazy? Something about the smell of burning ink and grades is just nice. Too bad it's not the end of the year. First off Adam that is like the best idea ever, because I always want to post on Saturdays but I have to restrain myself. So next week coming to you in the form of a post will be me on Saturday. Cool beans? Awesome!

Hopefully this switch-up is better so that I don't forget to post! Sorry btw. What's new...THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND! Which actually isn't all that exciting because with snow comes ice. With ice comes the striking pain in my lower back that I received this past Friday. I was walking (more like falling) down the hill from our school to meet the buses and this guy would move out of my way so I stepped off the snow onto the ice and fell into the same snowbank. Stupid move because no I have slight pain. Not to worry this happens a lot. Like way too much.

Speaking of thins hat happen way too much I posted on Tumblr the other day a conversation I had a little while ago with a teacher and I think I'll share it here too:

• Teacher: Tell me three facts about yourself.
• Me: I don't have any.
• Teacher: Then just make them up.
• Me: I'm not that interesting.
• Teacher: GO!
• Me: I'm left-handed.
• Teacher: Oh I'm so sorry.
• Me: (face palm)

I mean come on its not a disease to be left-handed is it? Does this have to happen EVERY time? On to more important things. Something I wanted to talk about last week was the same-sex marriage topic. I say yes and no. I mean they should be aloud to be bound together and vow to love each other, but church and state are different so if the church doesn't want to recognize the marriage than it doesn't have to. Though that still isn't right because you shouldn't pick and choose who to service and who not to. Ya know?

I am in love with The Fault in Our Stars, forever and always. I'm not going to spoil it, but I will however tell you what I told my friend:

Okay so I got the book Thursday night, so instead of studying for tests I had the next day I just read until 11:30 and only had about 100 pages left. Between the bus ride, morning announcements, and the first three periods I read. I finished just as third period ended and was still crying a bit. People kept asking if I was okay and of course I was I had just finished the best book I've read this year. So right before lunch I was telling a friend about it and she was reluctant because she saw me crying and knew it was sad and was like "no its too sad" and I told if she wanted to experience life all that she had to do was read this book and life=experienced. 

I love U2, I haven't the slightest idea what coffee crisps are,and yes I've heard of S Club 7 and I'm sooo jealous. I haven't taken robotics but it was offered as an elective when I was in middle school, but not where I go now. It sounds/seems like a lot of fun I wish it was offered. But alas I'm doing Envirothon. Which had a meeting this past Saturday and I would love to tell you about it but thanks to the foot or so of snow outside my door the meeting got canceled. In other news I have five books to read. Two for school and three for pleasure. I have more but these five are the important ones. One I guess is technically for school, but it was voluntary book club, so its more pleasure than work. That's about it for me, so until next time. Have an awesome week.

Bye!<3 

On Exams and Same-Sex Marriage

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.
