Hello again :)

I'm finding myself with free time again.
I feel like such a waste because I haven't written in ohhh...5 months now. I guess I've been busy and a million things have happened. School, boyfriend, car, cats, unemployed. That pretty much sums it all up. I've even achieved several things on my 2009 to do list.

But none of that is the point. I was watching the news tonight when a story about my former high school came on. Apparently they fired a former coach...whom everyone (besides my slightly psychotic grandmother) loved. I find it incredibly sad that the school board, the people who are "looking out for students' best interests" are the ones who keep taking things (or trying to) the students love away from them. Case in point, spring of last year when the school board proposed large cuts in the art and music departments. I wrote a seven page paper about the effects of art and music on the brain and learning so I won't even start that rant, but honestly. Do these people really think that they are truly helping the students by depriving them of all enjoyable parts of education. Let's just eliminate everyone's favorite classes and favorite teachers...but we can keep our former NFL player athletic director. Yes, they do give "reasons" for their actions, but they aren't actually real. Oh hey why don't we bring up the time they lied about speaking to their attorneys...that one was a good cover up that no one found out about. I'm sorry none of this makes sense and is angry but it really saddens me that a school that used to be considered one of the best has come down to this. I don't think I'm wrong saying that education is one of the most important parts of a person's life and it should be preserved. Once again, I'm sorry this makes no sense whatsoever.
I need to go chase kittens.

Thank you and goodnight.
