Note-Taking.. Defintely a Killer...

Two and a half hours and what do I have to show for it? Five pages of notes from only THREE pages of reading. x_x I'm sorry.. there are problems there. -_- I blame the vocabulary. There were at least 10 on one of the pages alone. Is it my fault that I think vocab is important information to write down? Is it my fault that the definitions were generally long? x_x Is it my fault that I wrote down definitions to words I already learned in Biology class? ...Okay, that last one is technically my fault, but still! ^_^;;

Ahh, well.. I'll just have to finish Chapter 02 tomorrow.. I gotta go finish those damn worksheets online now.. x_x It sucks. *sigh*

The worst thing is.. aznearthdragon just told me Vanessa dropped the class. >O Goodbye knowing anyone in the class. x_x GAHHHH!~ I hate Vanessa! >O She sucks! Now I'm all alone and I COULD drop the class, but I'm stubborn in the fact that I spent $76.18 on the book and I've wasted over three days in either Health class or health homework. A lot of time and energy went into those 25 pages of notes I have in my notebook, damnit! >O Not only did I have to READ the damn book, I had to write down all the important information ((at least, important to me)) which means that basically the whole book is there ((besides the figures / tables and the unimportant words, like "the" and "a")). Damn me and my thinking everything's important. Sure, I remember most of it, but I can't help the "I need to write it down" reaction. x_x It's ingrained. I blame all those teachers / adults / whatever who say writing it down will make you remember ((or whatever similar)). >O

*sigh* Here I am.. About to fail this Health class.. And not a person to fail it with. ;_; This sucks. I'm so pissed that the crashing deadline was on Wednesday! >O If only it could be THIS Wednesday, then I'd bully bobbleheadvi to crash and take it with me! ;_;

Damn.. *sigh* So depressing...

Hurricane Katrina

I tried to avoid the news about Katrina because it's just too.. painful. But.. I read some stuff and I just need to share...

Some News Articles // It's so sad to read all that...

Red Cross Banned From New Orleans // State Homeland Security Department and National Guard preventing Red Cross from entering New Orleans, afraid it will discourage people from evacuating. // I'm sorry, but, WTF?! Why WOULDN'T people want to leave? Damn.. this kind of stupidity amazes and horrifies me.

This thread unsettles me. // I've been hearing that *hundreds* of civilians have driven to New Orleans attempting to help get their friends/relatives out of there, and they have all been turned away by the national guard. // WTF?!~ ARGHHHH!~ There's just so much WRONG with this whole thing.

George Bush is going to go down in history as the President Who Destroyed America. // Bush, Hurricane Katrina, and a letter.


This whole thing.. there are no words. I'm BEYOND upset at the way this whole thing is being handled. It just blows my mind... ;_;

ETA:

Rev. Bill Shanks, pastor of New Covenant Fellowship of New Orleans, also sees God's mercy in the aftermath of Katrina -- but in a different way. Shanks says the hurricane has wiped out much of the rampant sin common to the city.

The pastor explains that for years he has warned people that unless Christians in New Orleans took a strong stand against such things as local abortion clinics, the yearly Mardi Gras celebrations, and the annual event known as "Southern Decadence" -- an annual six-day "gay pride" event scheduled to be hosted by the city this week -- God's judgment would be felt.

“New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion -- it's free of all of those things now," Shanks says. "God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there -- and now we're going to start over again."

What Year Were You Born Under?

You Were Actually Born Under:

Delicate, timid, and attractive - sometimes you really do act like a bunny. You're very compassionate and protective of those you love, sometimes too protective. Your home is really your castle, and you make sure your home is comfortable and well furnished. You don't like to argue - and you prefer a quiet, peaceful life. You are most compatible with a Goat or a Pig.

You Should Have Been Born Under:

Resourceful and practical, you are a quick thinker. You are very observant - and it's hard to get anything past you! A total perfectionist, you are especially picky about looking your best. You're a big dreamer - such a big dreamer that reality can disappoint you. You are most compatible with an Ox or Snake.

What Year Were You Born Under?

Hmm.. I got my enemy. chibbers got her enemy too. @_@ This must be rigged or something, hahahah! XP But yeah.. I'm content being my Rabbit self, thank you very much. XP
