Stupid english

For English we have to do a reflection statement on what we learnt while completing out major work... like we even learnt anything.


anyways... whilst i finished my major work... this is what came of my "reflection statement".


Reflection statement.

As of yet this “reflection statement” of sorts will be of me randomly rambling on about the pointlessness of doing this reflection statement which out of sheer boredom while the parental units are under the pretense that I am doing some form of work that will contribute to my overall learning experience.

It has come to my attention that the above “paragraph”, which in all actual fact is just a really long sentence, has accumulated so many useless words, that it had assembled enough length to become one quarter of the required amount for this “statement”.

Now I am going to try the whole writing aimlessly and see where that takes me.

The boy sat next to his window. His eyes traveled down the street. Waiting, watching. He kept a steady look on ground floor, never blinking. It was as if he would miss something is he blinked. He continued to stare for some time. Nothing happened. Nothing appeared.

Wow I wrote that in like a minute. I wonder how this came out. I would try to remember but that induces thinking which in turn induces pain which I would rather avoid. So without further ado comes the end of my ramblings when I should have been doing my “reflection statement” for English.

Ranking Friends

With the majority of my grade going to do the Duke of Edinburgh bronze test expedition it has come to my attention that everyone ranks their friends. I know that everyone have friendships that are stronger than others, but what i found weird this is applied to real life.

The "stoop" has about 11 male members. As the recommended amount of people per group was 11/12, the guys felt it was the obvious choice. This choice left Liberty to be left out. Now this is where things started to get messy...

Liberty and Stein are tent buddies so that meant they needed two spots. Stein and Liberty could have joined a different group but apparently they all hate Liberty. So then everybody had a big blowout about who would not be able to get into the group. It was either ditch Stein and Liberty altogether and keep the original group, or remove one of the guys and get Liberty and Stein in.

Then somewhere along the way some people decided to boot out Omo. Now how they got to this decision is unclear to me.

But that is beside the point...

The point is that everyone ranks their Friends, it is human nature. It's how we apply these rankings is what matters.





As a side note, I am so glad I have other friends to be in a group with so i don't get caught up in the middle of these fights.

Anyways...
having a variety of friends = choices
From a deranged lunatic.. I bid you farewell
