Midterms
Ugh. Midterms started last Thursday and I've already taken my Chinese, Algebra, and English exams. Tomorrow I have French and Civics, then on Tuesday I have Chemistry. I hate studying for these and I get so bored that I end up procrastinating (not good!). I wish I could find already made flashcards in Quizlet but I haven't found any yet. I put up Cold Turkey (a program that blocks your computer's access to certain websites and programs until a specified time) but I still seem to find other ways to procrastinate. ARG! I can't wait until these are over...

Science vs. Religion
I just finished reading a book called Evolution, Me, & Other Freaks of Nature. It started off as a great book however I was a bit disappointed in the end when it turned out that the science teacher was religious. Of course I don't want to offend anyone, but in my personal opinion, I feel that anyone who teaches science, should be either an agnostic or an atheist. I believe this because I don't feel that if someone doesn't believe in all the facts, then how can they teach us?
Here's my policy on religion: I'm perfectly fine with people having religions as long as they don't use it to harm themselves or others or don't wave it around in other people's faces. I'm a strong believer of the separation of church and state and I absolutely HATE it when people feel they are "cleansing my soul" when they try to convert me to whichever religion they are practicing.
As I said, I'm fine with people having religions, but things that bug me about it is when people use their religions as a reason to discriminate, harm, or do awful things to other humans, animals, or other aspects of our world. For example, when people quote the bible saying how some people aren't allowed to get married, yet others are, that just drives me up a wall. If a man and a woman are allowed to get married, than so should a man and a man or a woman and a woman. This shouldn't even be an issue, just common sense and morals.
I hope I'm not offending anyone, I just feel I need to state my opinion. Stay tuned.
