Electric Lib

So I guess a lot has been going on this week in the news (or so it seems) with the deaths of John Ritter and Jonny Cash, the anniversary of Sept. 11th, and all the typical Bush news. I suppose there are a lot of interesting things in the news every week, just not all stories come to my attention. I should read the news more often so I know what's going on, but I get bored with some of the stories. Teachers and parents (mine at least) are always trying to get kids to pay attention to the news. Teachers do it with giving assignments, Mr. Chater for example had his students track 15 minutes of news a couple nights last week. Maybe I'll eventually pick up the habit of reading the news in the newspaper other than just the comics.

This week at least, I haven't had much time to read news. As I said in my last entry, I've been busying both attending and playing in soccer games, going to practice, doing homework and hanging out with my friends. The reason I've had so much time to hang out on weeknights is because the homework load is feeling strangely reasonable. I don't want to jinx anything, but the homework is very predictable and acceptable this year so far (which is a very good thing.) I know some teachers feel the need to give their students really complicated homework that forces them to search around in their books for information that probably isn't even there. This year on the other hand, our teachers are giving us assignments that require finding information that is actually where we expect it to be. So that's very good.

Well today, I have to go get some new tap shoes and then play in a soccer game against Spaulding. They're pretty good so it's going to be a hard game, but we'll see how it turns out. So that's all for today. Posted by lib at September 13, 2003 11:08 AM
