The Weather

Cold weather, to me, is way better than being hot because when it is hot there is really no way to cool yourself down without air conditioning or swiming. However, when it is cold out there are tons of ways to stay warm. So the cold weather doesn't bother me.

My Education: What Do I Want to Learn About?

My education from kindergarten to now has been mostly robotic. Lecture--notes--discussion--classwork--homework--project--repeat; give or take a classwork assignment.

For most kids school is never really something that they want to do it's more something they have to do. I am one of those oddball kids that enjoys learning and going to school. However, going to certain classes is a job in itself, history and English are subjects that I have never really been in to and the way that the schools teach it don't make it easier. When a class bores me my grades tend to drop.
