Who's fault is suicide?

"Who's fault is suicide?" is not an easy question. It's not the kind of question that can be wrapped up in a nice little neat package with a bow on top. I mean, you could argue that it is the fault of the parents because if the way they raised the victim, but parents, no matter how hard the try cant control everything there child comes into contact with. So you could say its the schools fault, but how can you expect a group of a hundred staff members to keep track if a thousand students. But you could blame the childs classmates and peers, but they are children, how are they supposed to understand what kind of affect they have on people. How about the media? That's right, blame the media! But wait, shouldn't the parents be aware of what there child is watching? And shouldnt the school be monitoring the computers?

See the question of who to blame is too complicated to be answered in most cases.

Critically Thinking About Critical Thinking

In my life, I don't think I use critical thinking enough. I have a tendency to just say the first thing that comes to mind. The problem with this is that I often end up offending people or making them uncomfortable. I think more people would get along with me if I thought through what I was going to say before I said it but I don't think I would have the same group of friends. See, my friends like me because if the fact that I am brutally honest. And for that reason, I would not change the way that I am.

Changing the School Scedule

The assignment is to write a blog post about school and ideas how we can change it. The thing is, I dont think it can or should be changed. Yes, it is a pain to wake up every weekday morning at 7. And yes, It is not all that much fun to sit in a classroom for six hours and listen to your teacher talk and talk and talk, and have to sit there and work, and get yelled at everytime you stop working. However, the way school is structured is like that for a reason. It goes from 8:30 to 3 in an attempt to prepare us for when we have to get a full time job and we have to sit at a desk for 8 hours and work. Though truthfully, some people will end up with jobs that dont follow this time line. Sadly, most of us will end up with a boring office job at some point in our lives.

If school were to be pushed back to say 9:30 than the time we get out would have to be pushed back to 4. This later release time would effect jobs and social lives. I am going to use my self as an example, I wake up at 7am and leave the house at 8. I get home before 4 and than assuming I dont have homework, am free to do whatever. I generally go to bed around 12. However, if they were to change the time of school back an hour, I would wake up at 8 leave at 9, and would get home before 5. Then again assuming I dont have homework, I would want to do all the same things in my free time and I would end up going to be at 1. As you can see, in both senarios I have the same schedule eveything is just pushed back and I would still complain about the 7 hours of sleep and how school starts too early. Not to mention a fact that I left out which is that my mom drives me and if school started at nine she would have to be at work already and so I would probably have to either leave the house earlier so I have time to bus, or have my mom drop me off at school atleast a half an hour early.

This is why I dont think the school scedule should change. I dont thing it would change anything for the better.

Summer School

So, from now until the end of July my blog is going to be used for the purpose of my teacher marking my opinions. Sorry about that.

Here we go...

Film Class.

This semester I am taking a film class at my school. I am in a group of seven which is the largest of all the groups in my class. I really like my group, at least for the most part. So, our film is set in the 1940's, in WWII. It's about a young man named William and his wife Rose and his friend John. I can't really tell you to much about it but when it is up on YouTube I will link it. 

I play the character of Rose Parker. She isn't in most of the film because it mostly takes place on the battle field.

This is Brad, he plays the character of William Parker. Brad was surprisingly a great actor and he takes direction very well.

This is Khoa, he plays John Wilkinson. I believe Khoa wants to get into acting although I think he is more of the theatre type.

This is Beth and Brittany, they play extra soldiers. Most of their scenes are either them dying or them lying there dead. They are quite good at acting dead.

This is Cassy, she is the costume, hair and makeup person and behind the scenes photographer She also is in charge of stopping the little arguments I have with Zach. She did my hair for being Rose. =)

And this is Zach, he is the Director/ Editor/ Filmer. He is amazing, and yes he makes that face, or one similar to it, in almost every picture.

So, yeah. This is what I have been doing lately. I kind of really love it. And I really love my friends.

Bussing vs. Hosting

Saturday

So today at work the two new bussers started and I was training one of them. She was really nice and I actually really enjoyed training her, and I think I am training her again tomorrow.

Yesterday was my first day bussing in a while, I've mostly been hosting lately, and I realized that I really missed bussing. I love bussing because I get to be behind the scenes and I like the group of people that I work with, don't get me wrong I love hosting too, but when I host I work wiith a very different group of people and I miss the people in the back. Tomorrow I going to let my boss know that I would like to continue bussing aswell as hosting if it is possible.

At the vet.

Tuesday

Today I finally got my 7NAP video posted. It's a day late but that is because the internet broke last night >:(
I made Nachos for dinner with baked beans and cheese and salsa. They were so yummy.

We took Remus to the vet for the first time. When we walked in the lady at the desk asked if she could hold him and then disappeared into the back office with him. Another lady walked past and said, "Don't worry we are not stealing him everyone just want to pet him."
He had to get his first shot and he was so good. He didn't even cry. It was so cute.

With love from
