My real problem with Biology;

I'm one of the many people, I assume, who can look at a flower and accept it. I don't need or want to know why it's green or how it grows.

You know those European Enlightenment thinkers who were always ridiculed and jailed? I'm pretty sure this had nothing to do with people thinking they were the anti-Christ. They just didn't want to make things more complicated than it already is. They were trying to save future generations from pointless biology classes.

I mean, realistically, a lot of people would be dead if all these discoveries hadn't been made but why in the world do I have to learn about them?

I suppose all this animosity towards biology really comes up because the end of the semester and the fact that my 4.0 GPA has been obliterated partly because of biology. Although I feel well about my finals so we'll see. A friend of mine stated that the last day of the semester, all you can do is sit back and watch your grades be carved in front of your eyes. I can definitely relate to this though.

Well, on a side not, my toe is broken. Huh.

And I decided that I don't care if I'm the only one who posts... So there you go. But I still love reading everybody's blogs so I hope you do post.

Optimist;

So I realize today that it's been awhile since I've even signed into blogger.com for for today I signed on and found multiple new posts from multiple different people. And I thought they had abandoned me!

So school has taken a lot out of me. I've found myself at edge a lot more often and well I can assume you know how that goes.

And I have realized that due to previous posts such as Dried Out, Mush, and AAGH!, my few readers might have assume that I am nothing but a stressed out pessimist but I'm not! Which is why I've titled this the opposite of 'pessimist'. And I enjoy many things in life such as chocolate ice cream, my dog, Lilee, and looking up at partially cloudy skies. I suppose I tend to use my blog as an outlet for my anxiety which isn't very fair to you three or so people that give this blog the time of day.

So what have I been up to other than school and neglecting my blog? Hmm, well on the exact date of November 25th, 2009, I finally got around to getting my learners permit. I start drivers ed tomorrow! I've calculated that if everything goes as planned, I'll have my license in hand on May 25th, 2010. And yes, I am very excited.

Also, on a side note, as part of my New Years Resolution, I plan to keep my room clean which I am proud to report has been successful all of the ten days of 2010. I also have found a great new studying technique for World History (Flash Cards), that has helped greatly and am hoping that with it I will be able to pull at least an A- in the class. Though I've found from last year that January is a month of ambition and probably by mid February, the cleaning of the room and the studying of the history will slowly dwindle down.

I'm reading this book, Perks of Being a Wallflower, which has made me think and on some level relate to. Anyways, the author is Stephen Chbosky and I do suggest this book to all of my readers.

So I should probably go since I have school tomorrow and there's still stuff that needs to be done. And I'll only write more often if you guys do too! I feel stupid writing into emptiness.
