Goal for tomorrow: stay cool (should it be another hot day)
Goal for eventually: GET PERMIT!!!!!
Also, I just noticed today, that I haven't been swimming all summer. Quite disappointing.. I'll have to do something about that. All I need is a car and a drivers lisence (but maybe I should get my permit first..) and I can go to the best swimming holes. But, until that happens, I'll have to find somewhere else to swim.
Goal for tomorrow:go outside
We saw the first half of "Italian Job" and it looks like it could be pretty interesting. Movies like that though, invovling theives, revenge, and the like usually aren't my cup of tea. But I can stand them every now and then. For example, "Bourne Identity" was one of those action type movies that I actually really enjoyed. Though, I am always up to see romantic comedies.. much to the dismay of my sister. On Monday night, I saw "About a Boy," starring Hugh Grant and again I only saw the first half of it, but I really enjoyed it.
Also, I can't remeber if I've already mentioned this on a previous update, but my new favorite cd is "Rent." The soundtrack from the broadway play. So I've listened to that about a million times in only a few short days. Though, I'm trying to limit how much I listen to it, because the last thing I want to do is get sick of it.
Goal for tomorrow: get outside, play soccer, finish "About a Boy"
Oh, also, you might be interested in the meeting I went to last night. The meeting was for a Costa Rica trip I'm taking this summer with VINS (Vermont Institute of Natural Science). Alice and Molly will also being going on this trip. It will be very exciting. Except that we were informed that in Costa Rica, live these tiny little bugs called chiggers. I'm not so much looking forward to seeing any of those. The poison snakes might also be a slight drawback, haha. But I'm not too worried. Lastly, we were also told last night that we may be taking a horseback trip to a volcano! That will be very exciting, except that I'm scared of horses. I know I'm definetly going to get some physco horse that will run up the volcano and walk off the edge or something.... Ah well.
Goal for tomorrow: have fun!!
I have a few problems with this story. Firstly, from 10-20 feet away from someone you should be able to tell the difference between a cell phone and a gun. Secondly, I really don't think there is a need to shoot someone eight times in a row. Even one shot would signifigantly impair most people, so eight is obviously overboard. And lastly, the fact that they shot him in the back is even worse. Had they shot him in the front there may have been some reason to think he was threatening them, but walking away isn't very threatening.
In the end, they determined it a "police suidice" or something like that, which means the victims forced the cops to kill him- gave them no other choice. Though based on my knowlage of the story, that's ridiculous. Some people are saying the cops were being racist and I'm sure that was a part of it, but I think mainly it was a case of the cops overreacting and using deadly force as the first resort instead of the last.
In the past, at school we've had to get into groups to work on projects and (mainly when we were younger, not so much now) we'd have to include smart kids and not so smart kids. So it usually ended up that one or two kids in the group would end up doing all the work.
Basically, I just re-worded what Josh said on his site, but oh well.
Goal for week: see last update
Goal for tomorrow and the rest of the week: do well on exams
Goal for today: do some homework
That (teaching FBI agents) would definetly be a fun thing to do. Then again, these girls were obviously only representing the stereotype of teenage girls. Beacuse if all girls were like that, it would be increidbly annoying. First of all, I'm not a huge fan of using little "code words" when instant messaging. I must admit that I do in fact say "lol" (laugh out loud) a lot. And when I think about what it literally stands for, it's pretty stupid, but it's just so conveinient.
Secondly, I noticed that they thought Led Zeplin was "just not cool," and I completely disagree with that too. No offence to anyone who likes Destiny's Child, but I'd rather listen to Led Zeplin any day. I also noticed that they didn't think George Clooney was cute, and neither do I, but I certianly know a lot of teenage girls who do.
Yet, my personal opinions of their taste on some things aside, I think I would definetly believe, talking to one of those FBI agents, that they were a teenage girl. Plus, it's a pretty cool that they (those girls) got to do that. I only wonder if they got paid....
Goal for tomorrow: study for finals
Ah yes, I think I'll mention that I'm going to see "Bend it like Beckham" tonight so I'm very excited! You can expect a complete reveiw of it either tonight or tomorrow.
So tomorrow a huge portion of my family is visiting. All because of Martha's graduation. So that should be fun, except that I'll be the only one there with homework to do! Other than that, I don't have anything else to update on.
Goal for tomorrow: make more progress on projects for school.
Now, not only is the end of school quickly approaching, but Martha's graduation is even nearer, Thursday to be exact. Next year, she'll be off to college, leaving me an only child!
Goal for tomorrow: make signifigant progress on projects for school. (Because time is running out!)
