April 30 is Getting Closer…

April 30 is when the newspaper is supposed to come out. Quite frankly, the newspaper is no where near completion. The front page is still missing two stories, one of which I probably should not have assigned to a certain someone. On top of that, I myself have not finished a story for the front page because nothing actually happened during the Multicultural week. Nirvana club is supposed to do some kind of dance and trying to raise money, but, that is not my beat to do. Also, this week is the Fashion Show and  will not be able to go to deadlines. Mandatory Wednesday after school meeting from 1:30 until 3:30… that will definitely irritate me. Fashion show is here at school in the MPR until 8 P.M., which I will have to attend both days. That pretty much means no outside reading time for me and a rush job with my homework. This week is going to be frustrating.

Just Another Day… again….

No Limits

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if there were no limits? Imagine being able to do whatever you want whenever you want. This kind of thing has both its positives and negatives, but the mere thought of such a topic could leave a conversation going on for quite a while. What would YOU think if someone asked you how life would be without limits? The first thing that pops through my head is flying. Sure, flying is a cliche and overrated, but flying through the air, clothes billowing behind you, where the stratosphere is the limit… wow. Imagine the limitless possibilities that life has in store now, and then think about doing those without restrictions.

Just a thought.

Being Absent

Is it me, or does it seem like every time you’re sick or have to be absent, your teacher introduces a new assignment due the next week, goes over something important in class, you just miss out on a hilarious lecture, or just miss something in general? Well, that’s how I felt last week. While lying in bed, sick to my stomach, I receive a text from my friend telling me something funny that happened during third period. Not only that, but when I get to class on Monday, my teacher starts to go over something that I’ve never seen. It took me the whole period to understand what my teacher was teaching, and even now I’m still unsure about what I just learned. I can assure you, Physics and Chemistry are two classes that you do not want to miss out on.

Fake Fire

I was not at school the day that a Freshman pulled the fire alarm in front of the principal. What’s with Freshman these days? It seems like each generation is becoming more and more “rebellious” and each individual thinks that they can get away with just about anything. What good is pulling the fire alarm at school? I can understand the reasons why they do it in the movies, but those scenarios actually make sense, in a movie. All I can say is that I pity the freshman who did so because doing that type of act right in front of a principal.

I must admit though, when my friend told me, I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t breathe.

Change of Weather

What’s with the weather lately? First off, it isn’t “Global Warming.” I repeat, it is not Global Warming because Global Warming does not exist, despite what these “smart, intellectual scientists” may tell you. If you take a 5×11 cardboard and hole punch the very center of it, that is exactly how much carbon monoxide was produced since the Industrial Age. I assure you, that certainly is not enough to cause the ozone layer to fade away and expose us to the sun’s harmful waves. What it is, actually, is that there is an increase in the Sun’s solar flare activity, thus the dramatic change in temperature. Whether to believe me or not, the choice is yours, but would you rather listen to me, or some “smart scientist” who exploded part of the moon because they thought there was water below the surface (which is clearly 99.9% impossible, considering the fact that the Moon has no atmosphere capable of holding water below its surface).

Think about it.

Seriousness

I fail to see how come some people don’t take certain classes seriously. I mean, if it involves the whole school, wouldn’t that class be serious? Imagine ASB or Class Cabinet just relaxing, what would happen to the school? It would be completely boring with no fun events, even if only half the student body participates in, and no school spirit. Journalism is equivalent to ASB and Class Cabinet in which we should be keeping the student body informed on events that have and will be happening at school. Yet, there are people in Journalism that take the class and think it’s a joke. They laugh and talk for the whole period, barely contributing to Story Ideas and anything to do with the newspaper. Well, I laugh at them when they get the grade they deserve. I, on the other hand, can’t really say anything considering that my own grade is very low due to the blogging, but at least I contribute to Story Ideas and pay attention in class.

I honestly don’t know anymore…

Just another annoying day.

Replay

Have you ever heard that one song that you just want to keep on replay? Well, that’s happened to me so many times that I still do that, especially with groups of artists and what not, depending on my mood (which is normally happy). Right now I have about 8 songs that I constantly keep replaying, from right when I wake up, until I get picked up to go to school, during 4th period, and after school. This has been going on for almost a week now and I’m still not tired of these songs. Maybe it’s the uniqueness that I like about it, or maybe its the lyrics, or perhaps the message it brings, but either way, “It’s like my ipod is stuck on replay” (Replay-Iyaz, not one of the songs).

Just another day.

Physics

Physics with Mr. Elliot is just hilarious. If you disagree, you seriously have some type of problem. Each day, my friend and I find ourselves laughing like maniacs during class. The thing with Mr. Elliot’s class, each day brings new jokes, new lectures, and new found laughter. From his crazy stories to his weird sound effects, along with some of his mechanisms, the students participate without the slightest problem and join in on the laughs. It just so happens that me and my friend like to reenact these things later in the class period and even at snack, having a few more good chuckles.

Just another day of laughs.

Math In General

Why does math have to be so difficult? How will knowing how to solve for arccos of an angle or knowing how to use the Pythagorean Theorem useful to people in life? I understand that there are jobs out there that require this type of math, but what about people leading their lives into another profession? What good is it for them to waste brain cells learning something that they might never use? I believe that the best type of school/teaching curriculum is to teach people what they’ll need in their profession. Sure, people never set their mind to a single thing, but when push comes to shove, they’re bound to make up their mind someday and they’ll know what classes to take.

Kolohe Kai

My friend just introduced me to this new Hawaiian band that is still fairly new. Being part Hawaiian and proud of my Hawaiian heritage, I felt obliged to at least listen to a couple of their songs. Now, I can’t seem to stop listening to them. I do listen to Hawaiian songs in addition to some rap, R&B, and K-Pop, but their style of music is different. Oh, it’s Hawaiian alright, but they mixed in an Island Reggae feel to it, which they pulled off quite well. I never thought that I might find a Hawaiian Reggae band out there in the islands, but I guess I was wrong. Kolohe Kai’s music is both soothing and catchy.
