Midterms and Headlights

Yay I'm finished with my ap us and chemistry midterms! AP US was pretty difficult (like a gazillion multiple choice questions that I didn't know the answer to), although I think my essay (about the womans rights movement in the 19th century) was pretty good. Chemistry was difficult, but I think I passed (knock on wood, except I mean just kidding Dad, of course I passed! heh heh...). But regardless, I did spend a lot of time studying for it so I at least feel more comfortable with the material.

On the subject of headlights, I've decided I hate it when cars don't have their headlights on during the day. Not so much because they're hard to see (I cant see them fine), it just looks gross to have those orange lights on the side of the headlights on and not the headlights themselves. A very insignificant observation, but worth commenting on.

Which brings me to another topic not mentioned in the title of this entry. I debated for a moment putting "in my opinion" after the last statement in the previous paragraph, but obviously decided against it. I always spend a moment or two debating over whether or not to include that phrase after some sentences on this site, but the final decision not to was initially influenced by my 10th grade social studies teacher, Mr. Castle (who's one of my favorite teachers, and no I'm not trying to be a brown noser here, he doesn't even know I have a website). Anyways, he always emphasized when explaining the criteria for our essays in his class to not use the word "I" or "in my opinion," because it's obviously your opinion if you wrote the paper. Plus it sounds like a much stronger statement when you exclude the whole opinion bit. Anyhoo, I'm off to think about maybe studying more for math later. Okay, I lied, I'm going to go relax and not think about school for a while, but then perhaps after I've completed that task, I will in fact study. One just never knows what may occur in an evening with Lib. Posted by lib at January 11, 2005 04:33 PM
