T2B56

AAAAHHHH I'M GETTING SWAMPED IN HOMEWORK AND I HAVE TO SLEEP IN 13 MINUTES (my mom's getting really strict about this sleep time thing... she says the greatest thing you can do to heal pneumonia is to rest and so she's making me sleep early, or at least normal time, for like the next month. Which is good, because I need the sleep, but that also means I have to work harder to finish all my homework, especially now, because I have about a week's worth to catch up on. But today I literally did just homework and I didn't get distracted even once. This is like... some kind of new record. It felt really awesome though, because I was actually productive (like really productive). It feels good to be productive.

AAAAAHHHH SO MUCH MORE HOMEWORK...

I remember in Applied Skills today there was something that reminded me of the Grade 10s... OH YEAH. We were watching Queen of the Sun or something involving the two words "Queen" and "Sun" today, that documentary about the bees. They were talking about GMOs and when they said that it was basically killing bees, Margo and I looked at each other in this kind of moment of connection. We were both thinking of the WPGA debate--the last debate we had was, This House Would use genetically modified crops to feed the world. We were Side Proposition, and we were basically saying "GMO's have no harm! People don't die! The environment will be okay!" and this documentary just told us that our entire case was wrong. :( And then I was really glad that Tara wasn't there to see the documentary XP because she, Frank, and Charlie were Side Opposition. If they'd seen the documentary (like before the debate) we would've died. Sadly and miserably. And then I felt bad that I was glad that they didn't see it, because technically their case would have won. Although they exaggerated a little, it's okay.

Anyways, the debate's over, but this makes me realize just how applicable debate is in everyday life. It's usually about current events or things that people are really aware of, and this means I'm also aware of the news and events around the world.

Plus, it was a really funny moment when Margo and I kind of looked at each other and tried not to laugh. :)
