At any rate, today I'm coming home from tennis practice and I want to know how much my stuff weighs. You see, I'm carrying my tennis clothes, tennis uniform, racket, shoes, Algebra 2 textbook, which is not what I usually bring home. I usually just bring my satchel and computer and water.
So, here's the final total:
Satchel (including clothes): 6 lbs
Tennis racket, uniform, and water: 9 lbs
Computer: 9 lbs
Algebra 2 text: 6.5 lbs (!!! A textbook!)
For a grand total of: 30.5 lbs.
Seriously, why should we be carting that much stuff to and from school? I don't carry that much for a overnight backpacking trip. It's not like I even have as much stuff as some people. Bethany, for example, is unfortunately in 7th grade, where they just got new textbooks. She has three to bring home. Why? Why do we even need to bring in our computers? We didn't even use them, yesterday or today. At any rate, my friend Maria and I are playing tennis. She tells me "Last night there was an owl on our house and it crapped all over. I think it's on the driveway too." We miss our next point. She says "You know if we win, I'm going to reward myself with the chocolate I have in my backpack. It is the best kind ever." We win the point. A little while later I hit a ball and say "On a scale from owl crap to chocolate where was that?" Good day. :)
I also discovered this really cool photo editor on my computer called Gimp. It's really amazing. I use this online one called Blibs editing, that I love. I can make my own desktops now, so if you have something you want me to try email here. It might happen faster if you comment and say "hey check yo' email" so....yeah. Here's my first.
