Personal post - "north american" tours

Why when bands or singers go on they promote a North American tour when in reality the tour goes it every city in America, then goes to just Toronto and Vancouver in Canada! First off Canada is more then just Toronto and Vancouver! There are other cities in Canada! Second it shouldn't really count as a North American Tour it should be an American tour with special visits to Toronto and Vancouver! Special visits because apparently Canada is some mythical place that no one really comes to unless it's Toronto and Vancouver! Thirdly this is all very annoying to me

Personal post - my friends

These are two of my best friends I've know on since we were 2 years old and the other since we were in grade 1. They both mean so much to me. We have had our ups and downs throughout the years but I couldn't imagine my life without them! 

Personal post - balance

In high school you are expected to balance many things that are going on in your life and it can be really hard. You have school, school work, homework, work, extra curriculars, home life, family, friends, sleep and so many other things. I think it's crazy we are expected to do all these things with a smile on our face and not have a break down. As a teenager everyone expects so much from you and they don't realize how many other things you have to do and how many other people expect stuff from you as well. And you try and balance everything but you need to put so many things in the number 1 spot of importance, and it just doesn't work. Too top it all off if you don't do all these things, you're considered lazy, or a bad student.

Personal post - student teachers

Recently in one of my classes we have a student teacher teaching us a unit. Usually this is alright but I don't think student teachers should be aloud to teach a grade 11 or a grade 12 class. In grade 11 or 12 is when grades really matter and it's hard when a student teacher comes in mid semester and messes with everything. They have a different way to do things then your regular teacher which you are not used to so it kind of screws you up. It also sucks because any work they give you is done once their gone, so even if you finished it you can't hand it in because they're gone. I get student teachers have to learn how to become a teacher and different grades are taught in different ways so they have to get a feel for it. But sometimes it can really mess a student up.
