CLASS

I don't know what's worse: The fact that I looked up "blog ideas" on Google, or the fact that someone compiled 101 ideas...

I'll go with the second one.

Want to know what's worse than BOTH? The number of ignorant grade nines that were in the Library this morning. Actually, I'm not certain that they were grade nines, but they were short, so that's where my reasoning is coming from. I was waiting to get into the Library, and the first thing I noticed was how massive the group of people waiting was. After quite a while, Mr.Wong finally came with the key and he practically had to push through the mob (what a brave soul). Whats more, once Mr.Wong unlocked the door at least three students pushed past him and barged in before him. I was actually shocked! No manners whatsoever! At first, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt thinking that maybe they had to write a last-minute paper and hand it in before the bell rings. Nope, I was being too kind. There were at least 10 kids on the computers for Facebook, and five people were on this Google application playing the most unentertaining game I have ever seen! I was furious! I feel like the grade nines have NEVER been that rude and oblivious to others around them. There were a few people there who actually needed a computer for work, so I, being the no bullshit person that I am, told them to kick the little stinkers (for lack of a better word) off.

♪ Whatever happened to fair dealing and pure ethics and nice manners?

Why is it everyone now is a pain in the ass? Whatever happened to class? ♪
 

To sum things up, I'm pissed, Mr.Wong is shocked but stable, and this is just straight up ridiculous.

I WISH I WAS FOUR AGAIN!

If I had the choice to relive a time of my childhood, I would chose when I was four or five.

 When I was this age, we had just moved from Kitchener to New Hamburg and to be honest, those are the earliest years in my life that I can actually recall. There's no specific day I want to relive, I think I would just be happy to be that young again, because I know that everyday for me at that age was so relaxed and full of imagination.

I was constantly pretending to be a princess, or mermaid, or fairy, or even a ninja somethimes (I knew they were bad ass from a very young age). It also didn't matter if I was with friends or by myself, I somehow always managed to stay entertained.

Also, when I was younger the field behind my house was used to grow corn, as appose to now where everyone on my block wants to prove they have money by each buying a peice of the field so that they can mow it 40 times a week. I miss being able to go into that field whenever I want to. Therefore, if I were able to go back in time to when I was four, I would spend hours in that corn field escaping from the castle gaurds, or looking for treasure, or maybe even exploring new lands.

Now, the field, athough it doesn't seem like it ends from East to West, spills into a l o n g but narrow forest that leads adventurers to the ever-enchanting Nith River.

And on top of that, when we moved into our house, our subdivision was still pretty empty and there was a giant mound of earth in the middle of where the street loops. You can imagine the adventures to be had with a giant mountain in your front yard and a never-ending field in your backyard that leads into a lush forest that lines an idle river. When I think about what my house and street used to be like, I feel like I used to live in a Zelda game. Do you know how bad ass that is!?

Oh, yes, if I were to go back to when I was four, I wouldn't spend a second inside.

Also, for your entertainment, I found a photo of me as a youngin'... There's also Andrea Hadland, and Becky Zehr in this photo because we used to all kind of  be besties. Mhm, yes... enjoy.

My mom always made me wear hats when I was out in the sun...

I'm sorry, what?

Alright, so I just went on Ryerson.ca to try and register for a tour in Novemeber, and I stumbled upon some tour videos. I anxiously looked for one regarding the Theatre School and once I found it I began to watch it (obviously..).

Anyways, the main point of mentioning this is because at the end of the video they mention that the building is apparently HAUNTED, and how several staff members and students have felt cold spots and have even seen ghostly things. A security guard even refused to enter the building after hearing a piano being played in a supposedly empty room...

WHAT THE HECK!

As if moving away from home to live in a giant city full of worldly dangers and experiences isn't scary enough, but the school I really want to get into has a haunted building, and oh, guess what? If I get in, I'll be spending at LEAST 5 days out of a week in said building!

Peachy...



Also, I was going to google "ghost" so I could add some pictures to this post, but I was too scared to even look at the pictures that would come up... This isn't good...

Okay, I lied. I don't want to do a post on Thanksgiving, even though I assure you it was a good time with the FAM.

I don't have enough time to do a whole blog right now, so I'll probably do it later...

POST SECRET

I FREAKIN' LOVE POST SECRET!

It's pretty nice, and stuff... But in all seriousness, I think it's really awesome. In fact, I wish I was the one who came up with the idea. I would probably be known as that child prodigy who thought up Post Secret; But that's not the case!...

...
....       <-------------------------------- [AWKWARD]
......

Okay, moving right along... I have a  friend who I'm quite certain owns all of the Post Secret books, and yes, I've read them all. Every page. Fo' real. They're quite inspiring, and although some can be a little upsetting to read, the books really get you thinking about your own life; and it's ultimately an enriching reading experience. I definitely recommend you take a gander at them when your in Chapters next. You'll probably spend a good hour or so looking through them.

Anyways, I decided to make my own post secret, and I think it looks pretty nice for being done in Paint. In fact, its pretty bad ass. so, that's fine...

Alright... This pretty much concludes my blog for now. I guess since I need another post I'll talke about Thanksgiving.. But in another post. So... BAI.

Re: Debate rages over cellphones in Ontario classrooms

I don't feel any bias coming from this article, because it is mostly quotations and ideas from other people. Personally, I hate the use of abbreviations and I especially dislike the use of them in this article (even if it is to emphasis the topic), so I personally didn’t like the way it was written. The policy W-O has regarding cell phones is very appropriate and I don't feel should be amended; the only issue is that not all students abide by this rule. In my Comm. Tech class, my teacher has our phones turned on silent, and placed on our desks so that if we do get a message we can check it, and decide if we really need to reply to it. Ultimately, it's up to the students to make the change. I feel like the rules in my Comm. Tech class on cell phones is a good idea for a compromise. However, like I said, the success or failure of that method is all on the students' shoulders, and frankly that frightens me. However, if we want to be able to use our cell phones, we have to decide what is urgent enough to be responded to and we have to make the choice to pay attention to our lessons instead of the texts in our phones.
