Daylight Savings Time? Pi? COMMENTS?

I don't understand why there has to be Daylight Savings Time (should that be capitalized?). It is nice to get that extra hour in the fall, but taking away an hour of someones life is just cruel, especially when they're in seventh grade. I mean, yeah, maybe our days would be a little out of whack, but it's not a big deal. It's not like we'd die. But, in the meantime, I have a cold that I'm recovering from and a lot of homework lately, and I really can't spare the hour. The circles under my eyes are darker than usual. Look, I come from a good school system and I'm smart. But the problem with being in a good school is high expectations, and the problem with being with being in honors classes is that you get more work. As a matter of fact, there really isn't anything in honors except the extra work, and, you know, the honor. Remind me to write a post about the unfairness of school someday. So, yeah. Tired.

On a lighter note, my math teacher says that if the class average for the last quiz is more than 90, we'll get a Pi Day party. Pi Day is on March 14, like 3/14 as in 3.14. Get it? We celebrated it in math last year, but this, year, we just had a quiz. But, as I said, if everyone gets an A... :D! To celebrate Pi Day, you eat lots of circular foods, like cookies, donuts, and pizza! Yay!

Speaking of pi, a friend of mine thinks pi is a conspiracy theory. Why, you ask? Because the most common usage of pi, 3.14, in a mirror image (aka backwards), is PIE! Let the picture demonstrate:


Pretty creepy. 

Also, this guys sister, great girl, family friend, started a blog the same week as me! It's called Music is my Life and you guys should check it out. 

Finally, also completely unrelated, PLEASE COMMENT SOMEBODY!! I haven't gotten ANY comments yet! The first person to comment (on any of my posts) will get a prize. I'm not sure what it is yet, but it'll probably be some sort of virtual ribbon.

  2. Everything you say is absolutely 100% true. I hate losing that hour in the spring, and Honors Classes just love to assign as much work as possible. I feel your pain. Trust me. :)
