Topic #3 and #4

#3:
My favorite movie at the moment is... Ratatouille? It's so cute ^^
Best movie I've seen in the last month or two is Avatar. AMAZING!
For the rest, I have no answer (because I can't remember).

#4:
I think sports are a good thing when played in moderation. Your life can't revolve around sports, you need to be well-rounded. I think they teach teamwork, but on the other hand, they also teach competitiveness. I think the Olympics are a generally good thing, as they allow the greatest of the great to really stand on their own and shine, yet the next time, they allow newcomers to the pedestal.

Spirit? Ha!

I figured I'd make this post colorful. If you're colorblind, good luck reading it.

As to the the title of my post, I don't have school spirit because school spirit is centered around sports; I am not a sports fan.

I think that all schools are about learning, not about rooting for your favorite team. Playing some type of sport is a good workout, and can be fun for some, but school should not revolve around them. I also find that taking forty-five minutes plus out of our school day to attend an obscenely loud (I have sensitive ears, so ear-splitting), overrated assembly is simply a waste of time. I won't say that people who go to these assemblies and have fun are crazy, I'm just saying that I hate pep assemblies. What good is pride in a school that finances sports instead of... buying more copies of science books, or paying teachers a higher salary (they are teaching the future of our country!), or even fixing up the disgusting restrooms? Not to mention that pep assemblies are about competition between classes. I think that it's stupid that pep assemblies are mandatory. I especially think that having a pep assembly where people just melt blocks of ice with their butts is just stupid (I heard this really happened... I'm glad I missed that assembly).

Most of our teachers are coaches, and that's perfectly fine, but I have seen teachers where everything revolves around SPORTS! Memorabilia, trophies, and pictures of LIONS cover their rooms' walls! For example, a Health teacher, they are supposed to be teaching us how to keep our bodies healthy, so a touch on sports is just fine, but mentioning it every lesson is unnecessary. A Social Studies teacher should have pictures relating to history, not football.

The only thing I like about pep assemblies is that I get to leave school early. My mom gives me a note to get out of every one, including homecoming this Friday.

Rant over.
