Controversial Discussions
I'm so sad realizing this was our second to last! I love having these discussions! And may I say that we all have done a terrific job!? Go us! Today's topic made me think back on all the other presentations and realize why I think it's so important that we are doing this. I'm a pretty opinionated person to begin with but I realized that looking further into some of the topics my opinions sometimes shifted or became more defined. Not to mention looking at all issues from the perspective and morals of everyone in the class. By talking about these topics we're able to base our opinions on more than just hearsay and speculations. Yay for us!
weeeeeeeeed discussion
welll i didnt think todays was much of a debate no one had strong feelings on either side which i guess made it less hectic which was good but yeah idk i guess its cool how mrs. stariha is so cool about everything and like just honestly wanted to know who had tried it without getting mad or telling on us... she did say she thought it was disguesting ,. so hopefully she doesnt hate/think im diguesting now for trying it ... lol either way uh me and maritza were agreeing on a lot of mrs.starihas points for how they should not make it illegal soo uh mrs.stariha for president :)))))
synthesis essay
welll at first i was kinda thinking this would be a short essay but uhh mines turning out to be kinda longer than i exoected but i find it really easy to write because like i feel like its just a cumilation of all the stuff we have been talking about and reading all trimester so its a good way to sum everything up .. also i was kinda bummed the rough draft isnt due till monday because i worked hard on it yesterday bu ti guess that just leaves me more free time on the weekend yay !!!
johnny got his gun quiz
i thought the quiz was pretty easy because i took really goo notes this time on all the stuff we talked about which was like exactly the type of questions that was on the quiz so that was gooood and i thought it was like 5489165296578 times better on my carpal tunnel lol not having to write it all just typing it was so much faster and better and took up a lot less room ohh and saved paper always lookin out for that enviroment lol :)
two post in a row, yes.
weed. weed. weed. weed. weed. weed. weed. weed. weed.
other drugs. other drugs. other drugs. other drugs. other drugs. other drugs.
my personal opionion!
i honestly think if all drugs were legalized there would be less temptation to try them.
like maddie said in class today, most people want to try them because they are a big deal right now and were told that we cant do them. if they were legal them i believe the desire for them would decrease.
and i dont see how if alchol is legal why is it so wrong for drugs? they both change you and with stuff like weed there is less of a chance for car accidents than drinking and driving.
sometimes things just dont make sense.

rewind
back to thursdays class discussion on lust.
i thought about this topic for a good while after class and i really do think war and sex are one in the same. with war you have the moment of climax when you are at war going through all those fast and dangerous motions, and at times it is pleasing at war. and with sex how it relates to war is you get lost in what other people say about it and want to do it but when you done theres nothing left and some people even get hurt by lossing someone, and with war it is the same way. and im not saying that every person who has sex is gonna be left by that person or they will actually care dont jump on me for that. but i really dont see how the two dont relate and i think its crazy that trumbo could make a connection like that. i think that really applies to our generation and we can relate to it the most.

Ode To Stress
With or without tests
I'm always stressed
Here or there
I freak out everywhere
This weekend will suck
Well it will with any luck
You see I'll be tied down with stuff
It needs to be done no matter how tough
I'm deprived of good sleep
Yet constantly eat
And now I write bad post on the blog
I should write but I'd would rather sob
Now dont judge me you fool
We all go through hell thanks to school
For real- don't judge me it's too late for me to care.
