Hypocrites

There are many many of them out there. Right now all the people saying they want to help Earth or they truly care about getting things back on track obviously most of them do not care. It is seriously annoying and it shows how selfish and ignorant americans are. The girl I sit next to in study hall, she talks about buying $100 pair of shoes for prom, and then in my International Forum class she argues about spending money wisely and how she if for saving Earth. One way to save Earth is to stop being so d*** materialistic. All the trash we pile up in the Earth's crust AND oceans is ridiculous. Then, when they talk about alternative energy and that we need to reduce more, they get gas guzzling hummers, suvs and trucks that are horrible on gas mileage! I understand we still need cars until there is a breakthrough on improving them but even my car gets good gas mileage and it is still a good car for everything else. People with hummers especially frustrate me. They are such a waste and a crappy way to spend their money. People apparently are going to die if they can not get all the materialistic stuff they just have to have! Also, I am definately not a hippie though it may sound like it. It is more of a concern on how long I will live and what will happen in my life, my friends' lives, and future children's life. If no one else can expierence the times when life was "good" like when I was a little kid/tween then life sucks even more.
Then, all the girls who still need to buy Hollister and American Eagle! It's ridiculous they are so expensive and are a giant rip off of clothes! And instead of spending money wisely on stuff they need they just HAVE to get the brands. No one uses their head on how that effects everything else! I'm sick of people being so ignorant! I might have more on this later.

For now, Au revoir

French or AP?

Ok so in French class we heard that stupid people at the school made it so that you would have to choose between taking AP Lang and French III! I can not choose! I need both! This is ridiculous I hope it is fixed and that they will not change anything on my schedule. I am worried/frustrated over this. IF I truly do have to choose then I am staying in French III and I woudl just take normal junior class lit which would probably be super boring but hey what can you do? Plus I need to go on that france trip. It is not completely that though, I am extremely devoted to French class and Mrs. Cronk I WILL take all four years!

Au revoir

Francais

French class is great, I'm glad i took it! I love speaking french and its not because "french is the love language" and everyone wants to go to Paris and all that. Its just being partially fluent in another language is great. I practice it often and there is something about it that makes me feel happier when I do speak it. My friends and I love to say funny things to other people, each other, and even our parents. Like Tu es mechant, je suis mignonne!. Sadly, you are not going to know what that means unless you look it up, know french already cause you are skilled like that, or you are my friend. Anyways it is fun. Currently, we are learning aches, pains, and body parts! Woo! Tete, epaul (sp?), genu et pied, genu et pied, genu et pied. You may finish that if you like. :)

I am incredibly satisfied that I took french and I am going to stay in it through all four years! I am extremely excited that I will get to go to France and Italy with the class in 2010! I love seeing other cultures and I love traveling no matter what. I am extremely grateful I will get to expierence other cultures and I am 100% positive I will have a great time there. Kati and I will do fun things and laugh like crazy as always. We (probably I will though) will purposely run into a cute guy and when he says desolee we will say c'est pas grave! and they will think we are amazing and NOT american (hypothetically)! lol :) What a fun idea!

What's also great about it is all the inside jokes you can have in another language! There is one boy in our class this year and Kati, Savannah, and I are always saying Garcon! Garcon! and we annoy him sometimes but it is incredibly funny! Attendes! Tu es mechant Garcon! Nous sommes mechant aussi! *hahahaha* it is great :). It's also great when we get in little "dramatic fights" and we yell Oublies toi! and Votre vissage!. Also currently, we can create a "body" song for extra credit and we did ( i dont have the sheet with me right now so i apologize if spelling isnt 100% correct):

"Levres, sourcil

ventre, et launge

venture, et launge

ventre, et launge

levres, sourcil

ventre, et launge,

nombril, cils

poignet, et pouce!"

Amazing right? I thought so, it is going to be a blasty blast to do!

J'aime le francais and Cappucine et Garcon! Even though J'ai mal a la tete souvent, it does not matter too much since I get to express my pains, likes, and dislikes in another language :).

Salut!
