9/11-The Biggest Change for America

So September 11th came and went, but did anyone really notice? That day changes so many things for the American Citizen and for the world yet the only time it's remembered anymore is actually on September 11th if anyone actually pays attention.

Immediately after 9/11 this country became very united but now we could careless and take less part in out countries law making. Shortly after 9/11 the Patriot Act was signed and basically gave all out rights over to the government, allowing them to tap telephone lines and read e-mails easier. I understand that they do not listen in on every conversation, but thats not the point, it was so easy for that bill to be passed and now it's even easier. The government thinks they can do what ever they like....and you know what? They're right.

The citizens of this country dont act as if they want a democracy anymore, they are to wrapped up in their own little lives to take part in the governments decisions. This democracy is supposed to be of the people, by the people and for the people; but instead its uneducated people voting in greedy politicians who then vote for the important stuff. So just because we vote in the senators doesnt mean they represent us, especially considering how much the population has grown, two from every state cant possibly represent this country actually.

The citizens of this country need to take it back. Im not proposing a bloody battle for power but let the ideas of the next generation start playing, rather than saying the children are our future. Many of these "children" are turning 18 and wont get the chance to change the future because they wont be children any more, and according to adults only the future leaders can do anything about our crises, why cant they do anything now?!

Police of the World- Police of US!

So, many Americans know that the United States likes to get their big fat nose in everyone elses business. We (the government) have to make sure that every other country in the world behaves, or else we come in with our guns and say "Stop, or we'll shoot!" I do not understand how its our business. Before any of our policing happened, other countries could careless about us, now most of them probably hate us; (Isn't that nice) causing us to constantly be paranoid that someones gonna try and attack us. It is not our place to start revolutions and stir up trouble! Then we're just copying what countries did at the beginning of Americas history, and doing it for personal gain. I understand thats human nature but if America preaches perfection why not at least attempt to practice it?

Now Im gonna address the topic alil closer to home. The American government is corrupt. I dont care who the president is. It's corrupt. If i recall correctly congress can practically have life terms as long as they get voted in again. They use the power they have to keep that power. And according to what i learned in American History they are the ones voting stuff in, the president can veto it...but come on, why should he? His peers are all saying let it pass. We need people who can relate to the average American citizens, not stuffy old, rich, and powerful people.

Then its those old stuffy people that control our school system. Regulating what students learn. Did you know that in my school district they are sending lesson plans to every single teacher, and they have to follow those plans, excluding AP classes. Then there are embedded assessments for underclassmen every other week or so for the FCAT. The whole point of school is to learn, not be drilled the same thing over and over again.

12th Grade..The Final Frontier

So this concludes the 1st week of my last year of high school. And as usual the school cant do anything right. Id say at least 50% of the senior class had to get schedule changes, including me. I got put in to chorus....how fun...not! Sooooo I had them put anatomy in the place of chorus and Drama 4 where its supposed to be 1)on my schedule and 2) during 4th hour!!! :)

1) English 4 Hon
2)Anatomy Hon
3) Ap Econ/gov
4)Drama 4
5)Ap Euro
6)AP Psych
7)AP Environmental Science

Pretty nice schedule in my eyes. Sadly I only have one of my three besties in my classes. :( But looks like a great year.

Now i just need to work on college....grrrr

Change

As I was lying in bed last night, I started thinking about the impending future. I have finally gotten used to high school, finally gotten the hang of balancing my classes and having a good time, finally able to take the classes I want to take rather than the classes that I have to take (one of the perks of being a Senior I guess), and finally am with the guy I've liked since the 8th grade. And all that is gonna change in less then a year.

I'm not sure I'll continue blogging when I get into college...might not have the time or the interest..or just might be too lazy like I've been this summer. Ive been considering keeping a journal/diary instead since that s basically what this blog has been, but censored...

Dont even know what I'm going to do for college, I've been considering community college for the 1st 2 years and maybe get my degree to be a dental hygienist/assistant...that would mean 4 years of community college. Another thing I've been thinking about is applying to UF and if I dont get accepted do community college...but thats probably stupid. Thing is I dont know what I want to do...Acting, Dental Hygienist, Environmental Lawyer, History Teacher/Professor, or Psychologist.

I've always been good with people, listening to them, helping them, I get along with almost everyone...I'm passionate about helping the environment, and I enjoy acting; its fun.

But I'm smart...and my friends are smart, sometimes I think about the peer pressure that goes in to college, where to go, what to study, staying close to friends...but we cant base our lives on everyone elses....and in the spring at the NHS banquet the little pamphlet had all the graduating seniors and what college they were going to...and I dont want **CC to be there.

Last year went by extraordinarily fast... and I dont want that to happen this year...I'll miss everyone too much..I dont want to go out in to the real world, I would miss my bedroom too much. lol. Its really comfortable and how I want it now. Can't take my room to college with me either...

So Whats Next?...

COLLEGE!!!!

Okay...so its not right around the corner...but its the next thing. Scouting out colleges, applying to the few that catch your eye, sending in test scores, waiting for their answers, and setting up housing when you decide.

Currently im in the applying stage i guess, and have found out that alot of the schools want the application to be done online. I was so looking forward to filling them all out by hand. I know that wastes paper but its practically a tradition.

Also i wouldn't quite trust online, because most applications ask for your social security number and what if they get hacked?

Well back to the procrastinators grindstone. :)

~Molly

Hmmm..

I just felt like typing so lets see where this goes.

Class Of 2010!!! Seniors babyy!!!!

So, now that thats out of the way...I realize I havent posted anything in a long time. Nothing has really happened thats inspired me to blog...ohh blogs are great inspiration for college essays. I wrote an essay by using an entry...so you should start writing a blog, it gives a more personal voice to the essay...like its you talking.

So Im looking for one act plays to do a scene from at Districts next year. hmmm...theres nothing for me to ponder...thats sad.

Maybe I'll think of something soon.

Instant Gratification!!!

So I am finally getting to write this post, after waiting like 3 weeks, ironic huh?

So when I went on my cruise, I noticed something..my nephew always wanted stuff...and he wanted it NOW! Most people are like this. If they have to wait more than 30 minutes they lose interest in what they wanted. Its all about speed nowadays. "Fast&Free shipping" "Instant Messaging" "DVR" They all allow us to get what we want when we want. Sure DVR you usually wait to see the show but you skip all those pesky commercials.

With new, newer, and newest technology out there things get faster by the day. We have a 4G phone now! 4G!!! Why do we need that!? I noticed my little instant gratification kick too, with IM-ing/texting if i dont get an answer back within 30 seconds I get ancy and soon distracted. 30 seconds is alot of time; especially for a teenage with homework, college looming in the distance, and drama to be fixed, people cant afford to waste time no mater how small.

soo Im tired...I just got home from a Nickelback concert (which was amazing) and I just wanted to post this, since i was in the mood...which is weird.

Solving The Worlds (Current) Probelms

So recently I have been thinking about how to fix the recession and the threat of war, and this is how:

1) Kid Leaders- think about it...if kids ruled the world the biggest argument would be over candy, and I dont mean kids like 13 but like 5-10. Then once there 10 get a new kid. A friend of mine actually said what about corruption, but this is what we'll do the kids have advisers that are teens and they stay advisers for about a year. The only things adults do in the government is approve bills and such.

2) A Money-less Nation- No money at all. This works by having people work, doing the jobs they would normally do. That way we can get whatever we want, when ever we want. In the beinging it would be chaos because people would want everything they always wanted, but then when people realize that they dont need stuff, it'll cool down.

So yea..Im done with that idea. Next time, Instant Gratification!! haha...Im gonna have fun with that.

"Pondering How Much Forgivenss Is Too Much?"

That has been in my status on myspace since yesterday....I hadn't really been thinking about it that much, but I knew I wanted to forgive the person referred to in my last post. I knew that I have forgiven them so much, that why should I forgive them now? The worst thing they have done to me. (granted it was mearly insulting) Why should I forgive them knowing that they probably don't deserve it?

But something inside me clicked yesterday saying "you need to get over it." WHY!? I could just go on never talking to them again, forgetting everything they ever meant to me; I would probably be better off...but I cant do that. I cant strike someone from my life, I wont allow myself to.

So I went to church tonight, and during worship we sang "Your Love Never Fails" and during that song my question was answered, and a new one arose. You see part of the song goes:

I know I still make mistakes, But You have new mercies for me everyday, Your love never fails. You stay the same through the ages, Your love never changes. There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning. And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid, Because I know that You love me Your love never fails.

So that reminded me of what my pastor said...about how God forgives us for everything that we do if we ask for forgiveness, because Jesus sacrificed himself for us.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. ~John 3:16

To Him all the Prophets bear witness, and testify that through His name all who believe in Him receive the forgiveness of their sins. ~Acts 10:43

If God can forgive me like that, forgive every person on the planet for everything that they do badly..why shouldnt I forgive that person? So I have decided to forgive that person if they ask me too. And the new question that arose was what happens the next time? What if its worse? Will I be able to handle that? The answer to that: Yes. God brings people into your life for a reason...I trust Him, that this person was brought into my life to help me grow into who Im supposed to be.

Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.~Matthew 6:12

Hopefully Im not being stupid.

Aggression To the Face

Sooooo...I recently got in to a little tiff with one of my friends and it ended with me being very very angry at them and now I just have this pent up anger and really want to get rid of it...but thats not going to happen sooo im just doing this post.

I notice something yesterday. As I was logged in to myspace and facebook that friend signed on and all that anger came back. Now Im pondering why that is...and my theory is that since the attention was on their picture I was forced to notice it. But then when my bestie signed on the anger kinda went mutual, which makes sense cause when I see him online I get so happy, just because he's on...

So it got me to ponder the effects a face has on the mind...you know like happy, hate, sadness, ect...I am sure that there is an affect, I remember something about it from psychology last year.

Anywho thats all...have a good weekend. :D

Cheesy Goodness

So I have just gotten home, and you know how after along day at school you just want to relax and eat?

Well so here I am eating my Cheese Puffs and after eating like close to 1/5th of the bag, I realize Im not getting anything out of this. Then I start thinking about why that is....and do you know why? Because once I swallow the satisfaction of eating a cheese puff disappears, the only true enjoyment is when you first put it in your mouth. Then I realized I was basically eating air...cause they're puffed..so there was no point to me eating them besides that delicious taste of cheese. (which by the way I love!)

Then I was thinking this is why junk food companies sell so much food! They make you addicted...just like girl scout cookies! It's all a conspiracy. Like how at school they sell them knowing high schoolers have no self control and any money they get they think they can just get stuff with it...

So anyway now Im eating a delicious chocolate cake that I got for valentines day. Yummy!!!

The Broken Will Of High School!

So after a long and extensive 2 1/2 years of research I have FINALLY figured it out!!!! The PLOT behind high school!

They break our will, our happiness with our lives as they are, our strivance to make a scene!!

And at this point you are probably like wtf is she talking about? Has she finally gone insane? The answer: No.

As usual upperclassmen tend to get annoyed at the lowerclassmen. You wouldnt believe how annoyed I can get at them, their stupidness, immaturity, the ability to not think things through. Then a friend and I were talking about it, comparing upperclassmen to lowerclassmen and I had and Eureka moment! I noticed most Juniors are more laid back, they care about school but want it over, and arent as cocky as before. Where freashmen are all full of energy, think they're the best thing to happen in the school, and just act so immature. So what happened? Did we grow up? Or has high school sucked our vitality away!?

Im gonna tackle the growing up part, first...you're probably thinking that what growing up does, it makes you not be immature..which makes sense, but if society didnt have us graduating high school at 17 or 18 would that still happen? Would we really still lose our teenage youth?

High school prepares us for the world and by putting that kind of pressure on kids they have no choice but to slowly grow up in those awkward high school years, which would explain why some
upperclassmen still act like idiots, it could also be that they haven't grasped that they're gonna be out in the real world soon enough.

And the thing is Im not sure I like either of these options, the immaturity annoys me to death while the phasing into the real world just bothers me.

Oh well, whatchya gonna do?

Chef Of The Day...NOT!

Sooo. Its been a while since my last post. I have so many ideas to blog about but just not enough time. Anyway if you know what a chief is, you know it's someone who cooks food, and if you didnt know then now you do. And so, a long time ago I did a post on food...and I mentioned that i might make a series on it...well that didnt happen...obviously.

But since Im on the subject...I can NOT cook/make anything. It all gets burned, or I make it wrong, or something happens where it doesnt come out right. Now I know its like, "well make things you can make." Its just not that easy...I burned popcorn. POPCORN!! How does some one do that? And anything involving and oven...nu-uh...im not good with the whole watching stuff cook for 20 minutes; it gets boring.

So Im thinking that is why my food series never happened. How can you write about something you constantly destroy....like they say about history..."Its always told from the side of the victor."

Anyway. This post was random but in actuality its not because I just made chicken noodle soup (because my bestie had some at lunch)..and well Im not sure I cooked it long enough. But thats okay, it was still yummy.

Isnt It Strange How....

Okay. Im doing a post thats similar to a previous one from last year but with a different subject: Deodorant.

So a new semester has started and that means Bye Bye Drivers Ed...Hello Team Sports "2"(the 2 is just a way for my school to give us gym again...like I haven't already done my time). Luckily I have it before lunch so I can actually shower. (YAY!) I absolutely hate being sweaty.

Anyway. This morning I was putting stuff I'll need for gym in my bag and I picked up my deodorant and the label said "dare to wear black" or something like that. And I started thinking about how, to not stink and be embarrassed, people wear deodorant....right?

Then I remembered this time that I went to the movies and my friend H.H. told me my deodorant was showing when I raised my arms...I quickly put them down. Now why did I do this? Because I was embarrassed (Im sure other people would be too)....so much for the dare to wear black right?

So what I found interesting was how: to prevent being embarrassed, people can get embarrassed because of what they did to avoid the initial embarrassment.

Kinda like in those movies where people predict the future for someone and then that someone does things to avoid whatever was predicted, and it ends up happening anyway.

Wow...
