"Well Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after"

I was just informed that the Board of Education approved a class for Bible Study.
Oh wow.
I could really talk forever, like in most of my blogs, but I'll try not to.

There is a group of kids in this school who already have an air of superiority to themselves, a cult-like atmosphere, and a seclusion from everyone else.
This group of students attend the same church and completely separate themselves from the group at lunch, events, and even sports games.

Adding a class for it is just another way of secluding them.
This would also have to allow for a scientific studies class or a form of agnostic class.
Though evolution may be covered partially in our science books, teachers completely ignore it.
Although in English, we spend the majority of our time learning about Puritans and skipping much on Realists and Idealists.
In my opinion, this is just like learning about flowers in 6th grade to really teach about sex and reproduction.
It's a subconscious hidden way of forcing a form of thinking on students. But when one line of controversy arises in class, the Christian thinker is always the defended one, unwilling to debate.
Being set in your ways and faithful is 100% different from being close minded.


Even if the class is an elective, I don't think it belongs in school.
They are never open to hear any other form of opinions, so theirs should not be heard, let alone forced upon others, like it commonly is.

Church is not school.
Money should be spent on things we can't be educated on outside of school.
The kids who take a Bible class are going to be those who already study the bible.
Why be redundant?
Give us some real world logic instead of old testament opinion.

"I always thought that I knew where I would go, now I'm here and I find I'm still getting colder."

For the past 3 years my classes have been pretty easy.
I'm in an art cluster so most of them were electives.
My academic classes were always with juniors and seniors during my underclassmen years.
So now, SV has screwed me over very nicely.
Now that I'm older, next year I will be with a lot of underclassmen.
I have 2 electives....
It won't be a very fun year.

"It's just a lyrical lie, made up in my mind"

Everyone lies about something.
I pretty much only lie to my parents.
No reason to lie to anyone else about anything.

But what really grinds my gears are compulsive liars.
People who lie for the sake of lying; for the thrill of attention.
People who make things up just for the satisfaction of having a story to tell are sickening.
If your life isn't interesting enough to tell real stories, don't talk.
Go rob a bank or something.

"Work and play they're never okay To mix the way we do"

I would give anything not to go to work tonight....
I hate it.
All the fat girls act like children and tell on me for everything.
Then they get mad when my manager compares how much harder i work to how hard the don't.

I want my new job to start now, but I won't make as much money at just that job alone.
It's gonna be a great summer of work...

"I hope you had the time of your life"

Once a month I have to spend half of my lunch in an ever so sad Booth Scholar meeting.
Freshman year the program was amazing.
I had never had so much fun or gotten so close to a group.
We really became a family and had a blast.
These days, due to the economy and stock market, the program has dwindled in many ways.
I looked up to the senior class of scholars a lot my freshman year, and unfortunately, there will not be a freshman group next year.
Not only does this change the entire dynamic and a purpose of the program, but it's really sad.
Everything has changed, and though it may effect this year's senior class and my own the least, not being able to come back and mentor, do things from the side I use to look up to, is a depressing thought. It sucks that something I looked so forward to since middle school has gone down with everything else.
I won't ever forget my experiences though.
In just the 3 years I've been in the program, I've had countless amazing memories and opportunities I could not have received anywhere else.

"I'm a young money millionaire"

10 million dollars ay?
If I won that much money I really wouldn't be dumb with it.
I would buy a nice used car, since having a brand new one is kind of scary.
I would also move into an apartment by myself.
(If I could do that since I'm 17)
I would help my grandma out, because she has helped me a lot.
I would send money to Michigan to take care of my other grandmother with Alzheimer's.
I would obviously buy a lot of clothes, because it's great.
I would take a vacation since I've never been to the beach.
I would probably still work just to cure boredom, but not at little Caesars.
I would most definitely pay tuition ahead of time to go to FullSail University!!!
And spend some time doing graphics.

"I feel summer creepin in and I'm tired of this town agaaaain"

How cliche...a Spring Break blog. :)

I decided not to go to Florida, which was a good decision.
Instead, I kind of just used my break as a way to catch up on life.
I got my car straightened out, spent an independent week without my boyfriend, told my best friend that I was siiick of her drama and the negative people in my life
(who I am also getting rid of) , and had some fun.
We went camping, had some parties, and just enjoyed a free week.
I have an amazing burn on my leg from my favorite place, Little Caesars.

Spring Break made me ready to go back to school and get this year over with.
It's the last graduation before my own.

"3.14 apple pie"

I've always been terrible at math.
I pay attention until I get completely lost and confused, then I go to sleep so my bafflement doesn't continue.
However this entire week we have had a different teacher.
She broke everything down better and I totally understand it all.
Not that I don't love my current teacher...I just can't learn from her.
I've done all my work this week and enjoyed it as much as someone can enjoy math.
I'm dreading going back to not understanding anything...

"Money Money Money Money, MOOONEY!"

Okay...so maybe you believe in karma...maybe you don't.
Everything may come back to us all for some reason or another.
HOWEVER!
Only if you really are a good person...and not just doing it for karma's sake.

On yahoo yesterday, I saw where a woman found a check for almost 400k and spent time to find it's owner instead of keeping it for herself.
Come one. Not that it wouldn't cross my mind to find the owner. But I might just wait to see if anyone REPORTED 400,000 dollars missing. I'm not going to do a nation wide search for them.
She also declined a reward.

I think a lot of times, people aren't just being good citezens, but more so hoping that by doing this act, they will be paid in a larger way. You can't do something only in hopes it will come back to you.

"Walkin through the foothills I hear a big stomp"

So lately I haven't had much time to invest in Halo.
I'm really disappointed.
As nerdy as that sounds...I'm okay with it.
Oh how I miss the feel of a headshot.
The thrill of winning a shotty snipes game.
(though unfortuantely that game type has been removed)
Nothing compares to the hilariousness of smack talkers after a game.
(I'm really not that good)
Maybe...just maybe this spring break I will have a chance to play with my dear friend Frenchie.

Although World of Warcraft is tempting too...


Song: An original by me in my WOW days- Opheia's Battle Cry

"Yo ... My name is bo fo sho, a born Bostonian,

Bo Anderson.
The name has sent chills down the spine of many students.
But why?
Is this bald headed, wolf loving, golf cart driving man really all that bad.

To but it truthfully.
YES.

Bo has been given a minuscule job and blown it up into a lifelong dedication.
We pay his salary, though our pizza place jobs are barely enough to pay our own expenses.
Day after day we listen to his walkie talkie non sense as he scoots about the school.
We're forced to listen to useless information about parking passes and anti-cell phone terrorism safety.

All I ask is...why?


Popular Bo quotes:

"I can do whatever I want"
"I'll put the whole table in inschool."
"Give me that cell phone"
"We'll see what Mr. Swann says about this"

"Workin at the car wash"

So I finally bought a car and got it on the road.
It isn't a new car by any means, but I'm glad it will get me where I need to be.
It's a 93 Plymouth Acclaim old man car.

I'm getting it painted black this summer to look like this one, (but a bit older).

But for now it's gray.

"Stay seventeen, the party scene has got the best of me"

My weekend was very eventful.

Friday and Saturday were both interesting.
Friday was with the people I'm usually with plus a few extras.
Saturday was fun. It was nice to party with people my age for the first time in a while.







Song: All Time Low- The Party Scene

"You've got me poppin champagne, I'm at it again"

If you have the maturity and responsibility to vote for the President, do you not have the ability to handle yourself with alcohol?

By 18 years old, college, you are no less capable of drinking responsibly than you will be at 21.
More so you are more than 90% likely to be doing it illegally anyway.

Should we send men to war who we do not trust in consuming alcohol?
Saying you are an adult at 21, then contradicting it with a restriction is asinine.



Song: All Time Low- Poppin' Champagne

"Happy birthday Mr. President..."

Obama theoretically resembles the Anti Christ more every day.

Though he was not my choice for president,
I've since decided to be open minded and see what happens.
My conclusion is that it is creepy.
Obama is just a man. He happens to be black.
But somehow he has already evolved into a God in society.
I was at a craft store the other day where lifesize posters of Obama were everywhere for purchase.
They had inspirational quotes and ribbons...all kinds of things.

This is really weird to me.
Not only is he worshiped but he is a very charming man.
Almost too charming.
He seems to have an answer for everything.
Too close to the anti christ for me.

But I guess we'll just wait and see.
