i dare you to debate me

Yeah, okay, I still have to read thirty five or so pages about Fredrick Douglas in this stupid book for English that he wrote about himself. I did so much homework in a very short time today. In English next week, we will be having debates. All of the good topics that I wanted have already been taken by other teams. I have to find a really good topic and suggest it to my team. Lucky me, I got in the last group and ended up with all of the leftover people. I got in a group with Emily, Lia, and...Chris. Figures. We were going to debate about abortion, and I was going to take the side that was for it. Chris said that he wanted to take a stand against. I could so very badly beat his ass at that. I mean, I don't really think that abortion is a good thing, and I personally would never get one if the situation ever arose, but I'm not going to stop other people from doing it. I have some really great arguments that could just blow him away really quickly. I am not really good at debating, but I could do really well at that, I bet. Maybe if I beat him at something, then I won't like him anymore. He was wearing a sweater today; that is so cute because he never wears things like that. Really though, he sucks and I just have to not think about him anymore at all. Maybe this debate will be the final showdown.

I had to go to a final meeting for the Eyes to the Future program today. The lady called me up last night, and I grudgingly said that I would go. I was really mad at first, because I knew I would miss out on so much time for homework. I was about to just book it after school and forget all about it, and I asked Kathleen if she thought that it was a good idea. She was acting as my devil side today, and told me that it was okay. I felt really bad, though, so I just stayed and hung around until the lady showed up. That lady is a real space shot, let me tell you. The only other people that went with me were Kaitlin and Laura. I guess we had an okay time there. We ate pizza, soda, and clementines. I think I should have skipped the pizza and soda and just had the clementine, but I guess that was okay for today. I'll be sure not to let it happen again. I felt really guilty after eating the pizza. We had an egg drop competition, and my team won. I am wicked nasty at making egg drop apparatus, because of my previous days in Science Olympiad. I just really wanted to go home, though, and get started on my homework. I guess it was pretty nice though, because I got to go to the roof of the observatory and look at Venus and Saturn through a giant telescope that was really cool.

I came home, and Lauren and Jimmy were here. I think my aunt was at the hospital watching over my other aunt because she had her big operation today. I am glad that everything went well, but that is only half the battle. She starts her chemotherapy next; I hope that it will work out well for her. If you don't mind, and you should come across this entry, I hope it would not be selfish for me to ask of you to say a prayer for my aunt. For everyone in my family's sake, I hope she gets well.

Right now I am listening to classical music. It is stimulating my mind. What a concept. I guess I should go read that book after all.

Ciao.
