MORNING
It rained!~ XD LOL! Rain all day until the afternoon.. XD But yeah.. anywayz.. Didn't really do much besides hung in the classroom..
ROTC
LET2+ did Cadet Challenge for record.. Just curl-ups, v-sit, and pull-ups / flex-arm hang. I worked on my training schedule and that's about it..
GOVERNMENT
Our bills went to committee.. So boring. I was in the Homeland Security committee. BLAH! We had two bills to look at: Drew's and CJ and Elio's. We looked at CJ and Elio's bill first. Theirs was something like.. build a two 20' (?) fences 4' apart with 2000V barbed wire on top and land mines between the fences on the border to stop illegal immigrants. First off, that doesn't even work in the construction sense. Because they're not even worrying about the underground, you could just dig a tunnel and then you're good. If you wanted, you can delibrately set off the land mines and they'll set each other off AND destroy the fences. They said that there'd be lower taxes as one of their reasons, but that doesn't work out at all, seeing as they'd have to power the barbed wire, replace all the mines whenever they're set off, and build new fences at the same time. They also think that this structure is so great that there's no need for a border patrol once it's in place. x_x Their reasons, if you can call it that, are all either not valid or unrelated. It was so dumb.. I wish we could just deny it or table it, but Mrs. Gallegos said we can only pass as is or revise it. x_x Drew's bill was better and he had some good facts ((I think, 'cause I didn't really read them all)), but I don't really agree with what he wanted. He said something about how profiling should be legal, that it should be okay to torture during interrogations, and that illegal immigrants should be deported.
Some other bills from the class were.. More healthy choices at schools for lunch ((I second that!)), no smoking near minors ((they need to define "near")), change the drinking age to 18 ((it needs to move UP, not down!)), and keeping the words "under God" in the pledge, keeping the words "In God We Trust" on our currency, and all that other related stuff ((I don't really agree or disagree, but the "facts", if you can call it that, I heard from them were REALLY making me want to deny it)). Can't remember the other one or two left. But yeah.. the keeping God and religion in the pledge and money and all that.. Their facts were so whack. I heard Allister reading some of his stuff and he was saying that our nation was founded on it and stuff and I was thinking, 'Umm.. Didn't we come to America so we could HAVE freedom of religion? o_O' and then his other reasons were, "If you don't believe in God, then you don't have to say the words [in the pledge] ((okay, I get this 'cause that's what I do, but that's not a fact that will support the bill...)) and you don't have to look at the money ((and I suppose we should just assume the amount we are in possession of..? @_@))" and some other stuff.. I dunno, but it definitely won't pass with the arguements he has right now..
Anywayz.. Tomorrow we're suppose to go to the floor and argue it and all that junk. How exciting. Me and Selassie signed up for second... BLAH!
LUNCH
Meeting.. Boring.. BLAH!
AP CALCULUS
Went over homework.. BLAH! Got our tests back at the end of the period.. 23, baby, lol. My D.. I'm so ashamed, lol. ^_^;; I feel so dumb! x_x
ADVISORY
Just went on the computer.. I checked my mail and guess what I find..?
Oh yeah, baby! XD But I'm still holding out for UC Berkeley, even though the chances of me getting in there are like.. almost non-existent, lol. ^_^;;
ART
Finished my art project.. Started talking about the new one.. BLAH!
AFTER SCHOOL
Had our Unarmed meeting.. We have 12 people so far.. Need one more. Afterwards, just hung around outside with Cathy and Yann and stuff, then later on in the range with
bobbleheadvi.
I need to finish some scholarship stuff and write up a reflection thingy, but I don't feel like it.. *sigh*
