End of the Week Round up!

Chad is offically done with all of his exams! Yay!! He said he felt really good about them which makes me feel good! I really hope he comes home with fabulous grades!

With all of the subjects we reviewed I only had an issue with one. Biology. Which was weird because I remember loving Biology. I had a fabulous teacher, Mr. Pease, but unfortunatly Mr. Pease doesn't teach at my old high school anymore because he committed suicide after a little scandel. The new teacher, in my opinion, sucks as a Biology teacher. The class is completly lecture, and they don't touch their books at all. The BRAND NEW books sit in the kids' locker during class. The books are great! I've seen them and I can't believe they don't use them! Plus the teacher creates definitions for the vocabulary words that aren't correct! The biggest issue I have with the class is that they don't disect a single thing. Not even a worm. What kind of Biology class is this that the kids don't disect a single thing!? I can't believe the parents don't revolt and ask for the teacher to do a better job or be fired!

Well, now that I am done with that, I have something else I would like to rant about. The other day when I was at the Colonial Coffeehouse (CC) I overheard the owner talking about her son who is in Iraq. He was just caught in his first battle/attack and had his first confirmed kill. She, the owner of CC, was saying how upset she was at the thought of someone trying to kill her son and how now her son would always have that with him. I began to feel really upset. I don't think it's right that anyone should be put in that situation. Mother's shouldn't have to watch their sons become killers and sons shouldn't have to fight for their lives. I am really, REALLY upset by the whole thing. I HATE WAR. It's just so wrong. How can we still be sending young men and women over there everyday to die and to kill? Doesn't anyone else feel how wrong it is? It breaks my heart and makes me incredibly sad.

That was a happy post, sorry, I promise that next week I will have a fun story. I will be going to an open casting call for a Hilary Swank movie in Chelsea! I am sure I will have plenty of stories after that! I will even try to take pictures!
