So as I'm sitting in my 2nd period Geometry class, I'm thinking how pointless school has been today. I am exempt from all of my exams, however, exemption doesn't take effect until WEDNESDAY! Seriously? My day has consisted of this: 1st period I watched 3 episodes of One Tree Hill and now in 2nd period I am blogging. Very productive day wouldn't you think? There's absolutely no point to still be in school. Just give us the complete week off, Tupelo High School.
But anyways, on a more positive note, I am getting more and more excited about getting out of school. The weather here has been super duper cold! (18 degrees this morning with a 10 degree wind chill...brrr!) Yesterday, there were some snow flurries, and although it wasn't enough to build a snowman, it still put me inside eating chile and watching movies with the family which is always a favorite of mine :)
After church yesterday, my mom and I completed our annual Christmas cards and sent them out to friends and family. Last night, my family piled in the den and we watched It's a Wonderful Life! Ok, my ALL TIME favorite Christmas movie! This movie has such a great meaning and I love the simple time it is set in. If no one knows the story line, it is about a man named George Bailey who lives a "wonderful life”. Most of the movie is the background story of his life from the time he is a little boy until he is a grown man. He works for a bank and his business partner misplaces a check and George is found in a big mess. He could possibly go to jail for misplacing the people’s money. He’s so upset about the whole situation that he considers his life useless and wishes he had never been born. That’s when Clarence, George’s guardian angel, comes into George’s life and shows him what the world would be like if he had never existed. This changes George’s outlook on his problems and he finds himself appreciating the life that he has. Clarence gives George his existence back and George runs home to express his love to his family. In the end, neighbors provide George with the 8,000 dollars that he needed. The last scene has to be my favorite. This movie really teaches me the value of people and how every person makes a difference in another’s life. I definitely encourage anyone to watch it.
Ok, looks like I’m having to get off this thing. 3rd period Human Anatomy and Physiology isn’t as laid back as my previous classes. So every have an amazing Monday and stay warm!
