I find myself attracted to my teacher. But not in that love/boyfriend kind of way. In that way that you can be attracted to people because of their charm or their easy speaking. It's his intelligence that impresses me and the way that he seems to have an open mind about everything and is not chained down to a certain frame of mind. I guess it's because there aren't many people like that that I've had in my life. In fact, I don't really know any one who is like that. The closest anyone has come is Kate. I've always been impressed with her. He's the kind of man I'd want to marry. Someone who can help me keep my mind open and I can have intelligent conversations with. (Not that no one else can hold intelligent conversations, that's not what I mean) And he isn't just smart, he has humor. I guess that's kind of what most people look for though, intelligence and humor. I hope that one day when I do get married that that man will be everything I ever wanted and someone I truly want to spend my whole life with. If I get one hint of a man I'm serious about being anything like my father is in the future, I'll talk to them about it in the beginning and try to stop it before it comes full force. I'm afraid that I'm not the kind of person my mom is.. holding on for 18 years hoping for the man she first fell in love with to come back. I couldn't do that. And that's why I'm going to do everything I can to help my mother through this divorce.
I can't help but feel bad for having all this contempt against my dad. I've seen what he did.. what he does. And while I'd rather not discuss some of the more personal things here, I have memories I will never forget. I don't want it to make it sound like he beats me or anything, because he doesn't. It's other things I do not feel the need to discuss on here. But I think I have the right to feel the way about my dad that I do. Just because he's my dad doesn't make him above how I judge people.
The point is, I will never marry a man like my father.
Now to a different subject.. School Lunches.
Yeah, haha, funny right?
I don't think so.
At my high school they have taken away packets of salt and stopped added salt to foods. They've taken away anything that is not low in fat or low in sugar. I think we are the "test school" for a new program about not promoting unhealthy eating. There is also talk of next year removing all vending machines, taking french fries off the menu (the only current thing in the cafeteria with salt), and taking away all the food sold during the break between 1st and 2nd period (i.e chicken biscuits from chik-fil-a, biscuits from Hardees, doughnuts, cookies and whatever else they might sale). I don't see serving these food as promoting and unhealthy diet. In all reality, if kids don't get it from school they'll bring it from home or wait until they get home to eat all the unhealthy foods they please. The kids and parents who truly care about what they eat will bring their own lunch or eat the Smart Lunch provided in the cafeteria. If they really wanted to try promoting a healthy lifestyle, they could provide a wider variety of healthy foods along with the normal food. I'm sure there would be people who glady ate the healthier food. And even if they didn't want to provide both healthy and normal food, they could cook the food in a way that makes it healthier, like baking chicken instead of frying it. I think it's better than forcing healthy eating on people who honestly don't care and don't want to eat that kid of food.
And the only reason this is being done is because of the climbing obesity rate in America. And you know the only reason the government really cares about the obesity rate? It's because it's cheaper for the government to take care of healthy people. Because along with obesity comes health problems such as heart disease, heart attack, respiratory problems, and the list goes on. Everyone already knows the rising costs of health care and the debt the country is in, so I guess it's really the government's way of trying to save money. But I still don't think it's something that should be forced upon the students.
You can form your own opinions, this is just mine.
I'm going to try and talk about a different topic every day in here if I can.
(I realize I have a lot of imcomplete thoughts and jump from subject to subject, so you'll just have to deal =P)
