a good day, kind of
This is a long and very random entry.
my sunburn is feeling better, but it's peeling and itches a lot.
my class from 4-6, was only from 4-4:30, yay for nice teachers. My first midterm was today, but it's a take-home test and isn't due until monday. it shouldn't be hard at all.
Kenzie peed the bed last night. I was sitting on the bed reading, then looked over and saw this huge spot. i don't know how i missed her do it. the only thing i can think of is that she did it when Kai and her were wrestling. Jess and i think she pees when she is excited, and she was excited wrestling. so i slept on the guest bed and jess slept on the couch.
Open Doors nominations are today, and elections are next week. Next year is going to be so different for me b/c i will be in two other organization, this time around for teachers. I feel like i'm starting all over again, going to these meetings and not knowing anything that is going on. One organization i'm giong to be in is the education frat. it is for future teachers that have good grades. i don't know the real name of it, Kappa Delta Pi maybe. i guess i'll know when they send me a letter to join.
seven cars at planned parenthood had their tires slashed the day after the march in D.C. Isn't that shitty. I read about it in the paper, but on monday night i was in baker, on my way to morton, when i passed by this guy talking about how his tires got slashed. I remember him saying,"what is the point of slashing my tires? It's not going to make me change my beliefs." I'm figuring his car was at planned parenthood.
On to other news, I found out that the law passers of Ohio are trying to slide in a new law saying that gay people can't adopt in Ohio. this makes me a)want to move away from Ohio even more than i already do (you know how much i want kids) and b)do something about it before they do. I was thinking about what Ingrid said in her speach, the part where she pointed out that the other side is the one attacking first and then we have to stand up for ourself and fight back. She asked why it wasn't us that stood up first and then they would have to fight back. I think i figured out the answer. We don't want to bring attention to the subject b/c we might loose what we already have. you can't really have a protest to something that hasn't happened, can you? Is it possible to do something about this now, alert other? get ready for when they do spring this on our plate. shit.
Oh and the draft, 2 weeks ago bush said there would be no draft, now they say there will be a good chance there will be a draft. what?! can someone tell us the truth? Some girls were talking about it in my social studies class and one girl said she wouldn't fight in any war. I told her if you don't enter the draft when you are called you go to jail. she said she would go to jail, and when the jails got too over crowded b/c no one wants to be at war she would laugh. It made me feel happy. Another girl said that people that are forced to enter this war (aka-people that didn't volunteer) are turning on their generals and such, and killing them b/c they don't want to be over there.
in middle school i had 5 friends. i kid you not, 5 friends. and we did everything together. We had this journal we called the Friendship Folder (the FF)and we each took turns writing to one another in it. we each had our own colors. After high school Kristen moved away and i somehow made other friends. the FF fell apart. today i got 2 emails. One from Nora and one from Kristen. they both updated me on their lives and i've updated them on mine. it was nice to hear from them. we were the kids in the eighth grade that played hide-n-seek in the basement of Annes house, and had birthday parties with just the 6 of us, cake, candy, and birthday hats instead of having boy/girl parties and kissing. We were young and lived young. Sometimes i wish i hadn't grown up so fast and lost that innocence.
I have sucessfully wasted an hour here, only one hour to go until OD.
