More blogging!

Hello readers. Yay for double spare/double Social 30! It turns out that over-reading the BBC's website and Model Leg is wonderful experience for Social 30.
We had Chris Crutcher, a Spokane writer and former therapist, come to talk to us for Freedom to Read Week about censorship and how people try to ban books without having read them but by doing searches they find unsavoury language or situations unbecoming of high school (or so they try to convince people they are). It was pretty interesting and he recounted the story of one of his patients from twenty-two years ago (chronicled more or less in his book Whale Talk)and read from his most recent book ¨The Sledding Hill¨.
I've got math after this and then after school I'm sticking around to work on having a coherent case for Saturday when we have English Regionals. T'will be good fun.
Hooray for my Spanish notes that'll save Caitlin in her test.
I wish the Democrats could get their act together in the States. They have Senators who say they should have more troops in Iraq while the Dems' House Leader wants to get more out of Iraq. They also need to stand actually stand up for America and take steps to make the lives of Americans better and be weighed down by BS and a lack of action by their leadership.
It should be interesting up here when Parliament opens up in April. Devon will be going to Ottawa (Carleton has accepted her and she doesn't know about U of O) and will be in the thick of the atmosphere of the Minority Government.
The American Electoral College is ridiculous by the way.
And I'm going to sit back and listen to Poirier's semi-lecture and get my binder back in my backpack so I can run off to Math.

Bye for now,
Mike.
