yeah. Translation: I'm lazy.
I guess since there hasn't been much to talk about or type about or because theres been waaaay too much time on my hands to do anything with it. Here's a big ol' bulleted update:
- Christmas = good... got abuncha stuff
- New Year's = fun... Dick Clark scares me now but it's good that he's up and about
- 2006 = one year before 07, which is when I graduate. :) :) :) :) :) YAAY oh and
- 2006 also = have to re-learn how to head my papers for school :P stupidity
I forget whose blog it was but there was this huge write-up on how school is stupidly designed and stuff, for example we should not learn all the intricate details of everything and learn more of the "bigger picture"; that way we remember more when we get on with our lives, and school wouldn't take so long, there would be less money spent (as if there's any money being spent now on education) and it would not be as huge a financial burden on parents to pay for tuition costs etc. Now, that only applies to elementary, middle and high schools. Higher education = higher prices. That's only logical, but if you thinka bout it the money saved on the newer school system could be put towards college funds and scholarships.. that way more people could recieve them as well as have more money in the first place.
HAH yeah right. But yeah that's what I've been thinking about; educational reform. I know none of it is ever going to happen but that's what I moan groan whine and complain about to myself. OH well. I guess I'll have to wait until I get to college to see just what it'll do because ... I don't know.
ojh and my sister went to OSU finally. She deserevs to get at least a 6-month break from the 'Valley. Ok so .... bye .

School is useless for the most part. It kinda makes sense to go into details, especially at our age because we're trying to figure out what we want to do and it really does help to have background in those things, but alot of it does seem pointless. I wish there was some way that everyone had a general overview and then you got to decide if you wanted to learn more.
Things that no matter what I end up doing, I'll never use again:
-notecards
-whatever I was supposed to glean from the riveting literature selection Call of the Wild
-Anything about Puritans and their giant screws they like to carry around
-Anything taught('taught') by Nolan
-going back to grade school: Crider's 'You WILL know EVERYTHING about EVERY president EVER'
-Two Words: Mohenjo Daro
-Jeff Cavins including that color-coding system and excluding that *click-click* noise
- The Japan They Don't Always Talk About
The higher education=higher cost thing makes sense, but even still it's a little nuts
$40,000 could buy you a house in this area! And why should a text book cost $100? And is it really necessary to have to buy a new book every year just because a few of the pictures have been 'updated'?
I wonder how much money colleges would save if they didn't have so many mass mailings of ads/applications to people who have never shown any interest in that particular university.
Just an IRON staff, Mo? Shouldn't you have, like, a pink fiberglass staff or something? Like a big ol' pink PVC pipe? Or even better take a gold staff and put pink stickers on it or something.
