This year in math I'm taking Advanced Algebra 2, so my options for next year include FST (functions, statisics and trig I think- thanks for the correction Kate) or pre-calc. Mrs. Beem (my current math teacher) has already recommended me for one (I don't know which yet) so I will probably take whatever she recommends. Although, I'm anticipating that she will recommend FST because math isn't really my strongest subject, nor do I plan to major in any math-related subject during college. My next big task will be to decide which history class to take. My options there are American Lit. (which combines an English class and American history), AP US, and US history. I have no idea what to do there either, my big plan is to ask Mr. Castle (my teacher) what he thinks and do that. Then finally I need to choose electives, and I want to take something interesting. I'm also considering the possibility of doing an independent study, although I don't know on what.
Now, moving on from school I would just like to quickly address something that has been in the news recently. I heard this first in my global class and then on the news tonight that in France, they are banning Muslims from wearing headscarves in school. First of all, I think that if they're planning on making a rule like that, to ban religious symbols from school, then it should extend equally to all religious symbols. Actually, that's all I have to say about that for now.
As my last, and probably most intelligent, interesting comment of this post, I would just like to share that I found a dress in Delia's that I really need. Okay, yes, need is a huge over-statement, I'll admit that. I realize that I am very lucky to be in a position finacially where I can even consider purchasing this lovely dress, which brings me to my last comment (this one really is the last). I'm reading Nickel and Dimed (I apologize for not listing the author, I don't have the book with me) and it's a very interesting book. It's written by a writer who, as an experiment type thing, decides to try living on minimum wage for a while in a number of different settings. I haven't gotten very far in the book because I'm also reading three other books right now (I do not know how that happened, I just kept picking up books, but I do intend to finish them all), but it's a very good book and I suggest you read it.
