Report cards


Hello strangers to the world of the Internet,

Today, I have received my most current report card for my grade. So far, my worst subject is phys-ed, which doesn't mean I'm failing, but I got my lowest mark there. For everything else (besides history), I'm doing very well in. For History, I got just a bit higher than phys-ed.

I was a bit surprised with what I have gotten for my first term. First of all, I don't think I do very well in class, second, I hate history, and third, I got A-'s for all my previous report cards in phys-ed.

I think I do know the reason, however. For the first term of this school, I have been with people who are not in a very good physical condition and I have been in teams where there are some people who are trying to show off.

So, my question of the day is that if you got your report card, did you get what you expected? And how do you cooperate with annoying people? Comment below and share with everyone.

By the way, I made the honor roll with 84% average. Yay.

Luck much?


Hello there peeps of the Net,

Today, I went to lunch at some restaurant and I was really full at the end.

Anyways, after lunch, my mom decided to go and buy some toilet paper, so we went to the grocery store near the restaurant. When we went in, my mom saw what seemed to be $100 on the ground (Canadian, as I live in Canada). No one was close by, so my mom decided to pick it up. She unfolded the $100 and she noticed it was actually 2 $100 bills.

And that's my story. Now, I'd like to hear your stories about luck, and whether you believe in it or not. Comment below and share what you have to say.

By the way, I don't believe in luck. I believe it is more about physics.

Pandas


Hello Internet folks,

I heard the news about Wang Wang and Funi (two giant pandas) are going to be staying in Australia for ten years.

I, as a panda lover, am excited about this, however, because I live where I do, I wont be able to see them and I'm pretty sure pandas won't be coming to this place. This makes me sad, but I do still have the Internet, stuffed pandas and pictures of pandas.

The reason why I love pandas is that they are very cute and playful.

So, pandas being my favorite animal, I would like to hear what your favorite animal(s) is/are. Why do you like that animal? Would you like to be that animal? Comment and share what you have to say about your favorite animal.

Public transportation


Hey people in front of your computer,

I was coming home from school today and I waited for a bus. Their were a bunch of people there (it was an after school trip for some people). The first bus that came, it was practically full. The second bus that came was about half full. I checked my watch and it was 3:30 and I didn't want to be at home too late.

So, I got on, along with the people who were going on the trip.

I don't have a very long story today, but I would like to hear any stories about your misadventures with public transportation. Just comment and share your thoughts about sharing rides with other people.

What's up with the market?


Hey people of the Internet,

I was having a carbonated drink (which will not be named, I don't want to advertise without being paid) earlier today. As I was drinking it, all I could think about was:

"Hey, if making the drink costs around $0.03 and the bottle costs at maximum $0.50, then why did I just pay $2.48 for this drink?"

I know that a lot of people want money, but why would they make things this expensive (I know it's not too expensive, but what I think I really should be paying is at max $1.50)?

I'm not just picking on drinks, but the whole market, like clothing making companies. They pay $0.05 to people, in China, who spend 20 hours a day to make clothing, without seeing who they are working for. Yet these companies sell clothing for around $60.00.

And talk about the animal cruelty. They have all these chicks born, only to lay eggs and be our dinners. I know I don't like advertising for free but these is a movie that talks a lot about this, and it's called The Corporation.

I don't like what companies are doing to earn profits, but I would like to hear about what you guys have to say. Do you mind that you're paying much more than the company is paying to get the clothes made and shipped to you? Comment below and feel free to talk about what you like or things that bother you in the market.

Coffee


Hey, what's going on guys?

Something happened at school today, that may not be really interesting, but I think I should share it with the reader I have.

I was at my locker, and this girl to the right of me (we'll call her person 1, or P1 for short) and talks about a person drinking coffee. Another guy beside me responds (we'll call him person 2, or P2 for short). Then I come in and ask if P1 or P2 drinks coffee. Neither one of them said yes.

P2 responds that he drinks hot chocolate. I asked if he puts sugar in it, and P2 asks if I mean the one at Tim Hortons or the instant ones.

I respond: "You go to Tim Hortons for hot chocolate?!"
He responds: "Yes."
I say "Okay."

Then I ask if P1 drinks coffee at Tim Hortons and she says:
"No, I drink tea there."
And I respond: "You drink tea at Tim Hortons?!"
P1 responds: "Yes."
I respond "Okay."


That's the end of my story, but I have a question for you guys. Do you like: tea, coffee, or hot chocolate the most?

My opinion is that coffee is the best (black). It gives me the energy boost I need sometimes and it's not sweet, unlike hot chocolate. It also has more taste than tea (at least I think so).

So comment on what you like most and why.

Yay, my first post


Hello there, people of the Internet,

This very post states my start of being a blogger (for this blog). I am quite excited about this and I hope that anyone who reads my blog, enjoys it.

Well, for today, I'll write about my likes and dislikes about school.

First off, my likes.

The one thing I really like about school is anything that is actually worth learning, and anything that is interesting and taught well.

Another thing I like about school, is meeting up with your friends. Friends, in my opinion, are probably one of the few reasons for being on this Earth. If it weren't for friends at school, my day (and probably your day) wouldn't be very interesting without someone to talk to, or make jokes with.

One last thing I like about school is that there are some really good teachers that will help people and they actually teach you things.

However,

I have many dislikes about school, but I will only name three of them.

The first thing I dislike about school is how early it starts. I am not an early riser and I'm not an early sleeper. In the morning, I'm always worried that I'm going to be late for school since it starts too early for me. I don't know about you, but for me, school starts at 8:45 a.m. and I hope to be in school at 8:30. It takes about 5-15 minutes for me to actually get to school and I wake up at around 8:00 a.m.

Another thing I dislike about school are the class clowns, especially the ones that aren't funny (I don't find many things funny anyways). Class clowns just take up so much of the time when you could be working. Since they take up time when you could be working, you then need to bring your work home, which leads to my final point.

Homework. The most tedious thing on the planet of Earth. I know that I don't have a lot of homework and people have it much worse than I do, but I still don't like homework. An excessive amount of homework increases stress and homework that requires a textbook could cause back problems when walking home from school.

Well, that's all for today, but I want you to post a comment about what you think about school. Do you like it, or hate it? What do you like or hate about school? I want to hear what you guys have to say.
