January 2012
The class of 2012 will no longer consist of “hard partying” students looking for a “laid-back” course.
A survey of 1,236 school and college leavers reveals that teenagers seeking to go to university this autumn are adopting a more “savvy” approach to enrolling for courses.
Also, all the colleges I’ve applied to say they’ve received record breaking amounts of applications this year. GREAT.
Why did everyone decide to be smart all of a sudden?
Flamm and I are having a two weekend Oscar movie marathon.
This is what we have accomplished in two days:
HugoThe Iron LadyThe ArtistMidnight in ParisExtremely Loud and Incredibly Close- Moneyball
- The Tree of Life
- The Help
- War Horse
- The Descendants
Pfft, that’s not my blog =p
But you should follow it.
EVERYONE should follow it.
I'm taking adult Catechism classes so I can get all my sacraments, and today we talked about Catholic morality.
Let me just start by saying that I was ready to go off on the lady.
She said that in-vitro fertilization was abortion. She also said that it creates “orphans” because there are embryos that are never used. She said birth control (which inclues the pill, vasectomies, and those internal devices that women can get) was abortion. She advised us to all go and learn about “natural family planning,” which is abstaining from sex during ovulation (with no use of any pills or devices). She said that the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (a breast cancer charity) donates money to Planned Parenthood which supports abortion and birth control, so no one should support that charity anymore. I guess she didn’t know that they are donating money to Planned Parenthood because they offer women free mammograms. Then she said abortion wasn’t acceptable even in cases of rape and incest. She also said it was immoral to live with your partner before you get married because it leads you to do things like take birth control.
However, the only good thing about tonight’s class was the old man who sat next to me. He kept arguing with the lady, and eventually he just gave up and patted me on the back and said, “Best of luck to ya kid.”
The end.
good for you!!
Oh why thank you. I secretly feel like a good samaritan.
Why don't adults make kids wear their seat belts?
Today when I was driving to Chipotle, I saw a 4-5 year old girl in the car with her grandmother. This little girl was not in a car seat or wearing a seat belt, and she was completly hanging out of the opened window. I switched lanes, drove up next to her car, rolled down my window, and yelled, “You should be wearing a seat belt!” The grandmother honked at me and tried to tell me off, but I just kept driving.
