i see it all the time

yup today was the first day. it was pretty fun but it was long though. 1 day down 4 more to go then i can go get my permit. hopefully i pass the permit test on my first try.

oh yeah and i saw this horrible movie in "school" today. it was so scary and sad. they showed this movies which i have forgotten the name of, but it was so horrid and gory. they were actually videos from car crashes. they showed people with their brains laying on the floor, people whose arms were detached, and people whose faces were smashed to the point of nonrecognition.

The way i look at things is if you are mentally and emotionally strong you don't need anyone to show you how to live. When i hear the phrase "cultivate your own garden," that's what i think of. I don't like people to tell me how i should think. The only person who i will allow me to help form my own opinions is Jesus.

I hate it when people say that people around you influence who you are. I think that only occurs if u let it. Basicly, what i'm saying is that you can be whoever you want to be not who other people think you should be.

It pretty much sucks so far. Today was pretty much horrible.

I took my little rebel sisters who don't like to listen to me to the pool. Like always they would not listen to me. When i was ready to leave the pool, i told them: okay it's time to go. as defiant as they are, they told me straight out "NO!" we went back and forth like this for like 1o minutes.

after just asking, i started trying to drag them out. there is three of these "precious" little girls; so, i had my hands full. i tried to do it for the first 20 minutes without getting in the pool. i tried to drag one out and lock them out of the pool area but that didn't work because there were other people there who kept letting them back in. eventually, i had to get in the pool with all my clothes on to retrieve them.

it was hell. i was getting soooo frustrated. i seriously wanted to cry.

i never got them out. finally, my stepmom came and watched them while they swam. she came right on time to because i didn't know what i was going to do. i was going to have like a mental break down.

not only was it tiring, it was also embarrassing. while i was having this battle with my sisters, a bunch of my stepmom's neighbors were at the pool. i got to look like a jackass in front of a lot of people. I'm sure they probably enjoyed the whole strenuous episode.

Ms. Adams is my psych teacher. I don't like her and I don't actually know anyone who does, although there may be someone who does, but to that i say "to each his own".
I'm going to try to say ten things i don't like about her. I'm not sure i actually can though.

1. I hate her hair. She has this Victoria Beckham-ish bob haircut, but it doesn't look very good on her. The way she plays with it and clips it also annoys me.

2. She is really short. There's nothing wrong with being short but it just doesn't work for her.

3. She loves to give teleparents and for the pettiest reasons. (teleparent: a computer system that allows you to send computer messages about what your child is doing at school to your home phone.)

4. She always has to figure out what nationality a name comes from. One day, she spent a whole period trying to teach our class how to recognize what part of Europe a person's family is from by looking at their last names, which has nothing to do with psychology.

5. She doodles different facts all over her board in a really dumb and annoying fashion.

6. She is a bad teacher. I heard that she has French 3 students who don't even know French.

7. Whenever you say something, she always wants you to elaborate on it. Why can't she just take what we said.

8. She brings guess speakers to class. I like that because I don't have to listen to her ramblings but it just hasn't had anything to do with psychology except for once.

9.She told my Latin teacher that I was being rude to her, which i don't think i was. Why did she need to involve my Latin teacher? ?That was so dumb.

10. Lastly, she's just crazy. Point blank. I'm not sure what kind of mental disorder she has because I have barely learned anything in her class.

i was just randomly thinking of restaurants, and then i thought:
"man, i hate when i go to a restaurant and we all decide to pay for our own stuff but i end up paying for way more than i even ordered."
then that got me thinking about rules for restaurants.
this MY OPINION of rules for the restaurant, but some of these rules go for just eating in general (i wonder if there are like official written restaurant rules.):

• pay for your own crap. that means you cant go and by something more than you can afford. don't go and buy something for like $12.00 dollars if u have $12.00 or less. that's just dumb because you didn't even take into consideration the price for your drink or tax.

• not skipping out on the check is a given.

• not throwing food is a given.
  

• giving a good enough tip is kind of a given for me too. they live off of mainly tips so why not help them out.
  

• if someone (not including like your parents or grandparents ;] ) is treating you to dinner don't go overboard. don't go and buy the most expensive item on the menu, not unless you are invited to do so, but even in that case i wouldn't go and order filet mignon and lobster when they only ordered chicken (let alone that i don't even eat meat). i wouldn't order something too much more expensive than what the person paying got.

• don't rush people. just because you finished super fast doesn't mean other have to as well.

• but i really don't like when people eat super slow. i hate that because you can't leave until they are done and i really don't want to wait around an hour for one person to finish.

• try to talk with little to no food in your mouth. talking with a full mouth is pretty disgusting. i don't want your food flying all over me and my food.

• try to keep the noise down too. its hard to enjoy your meal when you can hear the group two tables over dying of laughter.

• wash your hands before you eat, a given.

• do not complain to your waiter. i really don't care how nice you think the waiter is, just don't do it!! its not a good idea to annoy the people handling your food. only God knows what they could have done to it.

• i definitely don't want to forget chewing with your mouth closed. it is so annoying hearing (and seeing) you chomp away at your food!!
  

• while I'm speaking of annoying sounds, I'd also like to mention moaning continuously because your food is so good, or atleast you say it is. that's just being obnoxious. i can ignore one moan, but i highly doubt that your food is so unbelievably delicious that you have to moan after every bite.
