Addition to that last one..

It's so hard to decide where we want to go after we die or if we go anywhere at all. What if nothing happens, but we won't even know when we die because we will have died. So, I like to think that we're going to be reborn even if it means waiting nine moneths in someone's womb and not even remembering it. And if it means we won't remember anything until we learn how to speak or our eyes finally connect with our brains. I don't care I know for a fact that want to live again, I don't want to nostalgically stare down from the skies at Earth wishing to be there, or living in the past. Well, if I even have a choice that is.

My Own Theme

Human kind is rather greedy. Clearly this is valid, I mean look at global warming, businesses (the list goes on) but what I'm talking about is the whole afterlife brouhaha. All we do is think ahead, I think I can state that most people first worry about where they will end up when they die, rather than be grateful for the fact that they are living. I believe that what you believe is where you will end up, and I want to believe that I reincarnate because I too am greedy and want to live forever. I want to know more about the world.
I think that people are so fixated with death that forget birth. I like to believe that I was a Buddhist in my past life which propelled me into reincarnating, which is what I hope to do because I am so afraid that nothing will happen, because humans have to be afraid and curious and worried. It's in our nature, unfortunately.

We Are Doomed.

Earlier I said "My face is screwing up!" Which got me thinking; I sound like I'm talking about a car or a computer, but I'm talking about my wretched dry skin. It articulated the idea that technology could be leading us to corruption. We are doomed because soon everything will be wired and those things that once had cords are going to be wireless. And I mean everything, from a tooth brush (already been done, actually) to a how we blow our noses will be hitech and CrAzY. So, perhaps in the future, even our faces will be hiding behind a screen that pictures what we want to look like. Acne will be unheard of and all uniqueness or what some people call "ugliness" will be annhilated. Plastic surgery is already a waste (unless you're a burn victim or defected at birth), I hope our world doesn't completley deconstruct because of our technology!

REGRETS

While chatting online with a close friend, she drove me into a corner where I had to think about all that I have done that causes me to regret. Basically, I realized; I realized I have a lot to regret and I am only 15. It's not like their STD's or rape or anything like that; they're minor things that have manifested in my brain for many years. But the fact that I can't get them out SCARE ME!!

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Teachers 101

There are few really talented teachers in this world leaving the rest to be either utterly awful or somewhere in the middle which is usually worse (they are INCREDIBLY BORING!). The profession seems simple; plug in a video, have kids take notes, have 'em take a scantron and grade it. This spectrum is seen through the eyes of a child who has far too many "bad teachers." DA DA DA! Everyone has/had a teacher who just lets the class watch movies throughout the year and then around April or May they attempt to cram all the curriculum has instructed. I know I could name a few like that. Another bad type of teachers are those who try to teach the kids so much that it becomes TOO much. Thus half of the class has dropped out by December. I think I know a friend in one of those classes.
though there are so many awful teachers, there are also AMAZING ONES!! The ones you know you will never forget even if you lose your year book. The key to their success is being the superior at all times but still maintaining a likable subtle friendship. Example: Hippie art teacher- you know not to fool around in the class or skip, but she let's you to with art (well not skip art).
My favorite teachers are the ones that plan in advance the lessons. The ones who really care about their students and their job. The ones who you know put effort into the worksheets, lectures, comments on writings and samples. The ones who are passionate about what they wake up to do everyday. Their excitement is your excitement. They are the people who are interested in what you have to say which makes you interested in what they are saying. It truly creates a special bond between teacher and class.

Favs so far:
Boston-- so far, I've only had him for 1/2 semester
Garbooshian--- only had for 1/2 year also.
Bullough--- only teacher I've had fully and agree that he was passionate to say the least.
Hiaasen (one could argue that I'm bias but I watch her work hard every night; grading papers, making plans for the upcoming week. Also, she constantly talks about what great students she has and how "blessed" she is to have them, so clearly she cares.)--- I've only had her officially for half the year also, but in a way I would argue I've had her for 15 years.

The sad part about this is that I can only come up with four throughout my eleven years in school (counting pre-k). ouch, America.
