Woke up kinda late today.. Parents, as usual, left us behind. We got out of the house at.. about 7:00. When we got to the park, our parents were just finishing their first round, so walked with them. We walked three rounds -- 'rents walked four -- and then went back home. After that, ate and stuff, then around 10:30 or so, left and went to Fletcher Parkway. Got there and went to JC Penny first. Looked at shoes and clothes, but didn't buy anything. After that, went over to Famous Footwear and me and aznearthdragon got shoes -- Sketchers. Mine are green, grey, and white. aznearthdragon's is black and white. Once we were done there, went to Borders Express to see how much The Lovely Bones was, but it was too expensive, so just left. After that, went over to Wal-Mart and we got cell phones. =O Me, aznearthdragon, and my mom got them. Me and aznearthdragon both got the Samsung T609 and my mom got the Samsung T319. The only reason we got those phones was 'cause of the My Five plan thing.. If not for that, I would have prefered a Razr. Anywayz.. Took forget to get it activated and stuff.. x_x Finally, when we were done, bought some other stuff at Wal-Mart and then left. Went over to Mervyn's and bought some shirts and aznearthdragon got a pair of jeans. After that, left and went to Costco. Ate and then went in and bought some stuff, then went home.

Played with the phones for a while when we got home, haha. Besides that, didn't do much else.. Oh yeah, paid my registration fee today already, haha.

And yeah..

Happy Birthday Teng!~

The big one-eight! =O Finally an adult..! Not always a good thing, but you know, hahah.

So before I took a shower, I got a phone call from some dude claiming to be from the government or whatever, offering me a grant of at leasst $5,000. There I was, thinking, 'WTF is this shit?!~ What's the catch?!~' and I was waiting forever for it and then finally, "You'll have to pay a fee of $299 with the application we send you for processing" and yeah. After he said that, he was like, "Wait one moment and then I'll verify your information" and then right after he said that, I hung up and told my parents what they said. Then he called back and I told my mom to answer and to let her put him off, but she didn't and she called me over and I didn't want to talk, 'cause I suck at saying no and all that. So went back to the phone and asked why there's a fee and he gave some BS response and I said I wasn't interested and he kept saying, "Why not? You're going to get at least $5,000" and stuff and I was thinking, 'Leave me alone!~' and finally, my dad took pity on me and took the phone and talked. After a long-ish time, my dad finally got him to stop, haha. Damn people.. BLEH!~

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!
