Kate!! We are so alike in so many ways... I always think about the future and getting married and whether or not there are soulmates. I read Kyle's comment, and in many ways I agree with him. With over 6 billion people in the world, there are a lot of people who are similar. Since I do not really believe in fate, I don't really believe in soulmates. i think that, like Kyle said, there are multiple people who could make any given person happy. I am also a very firm believer of not rushing into relationships or claiming love too quickly. It always peeves me when kids our age or younger say "I love you" the first day they begin a relationship that lasts for, oh, a few weeks maybe. Then they'll get a new boy/girlfriend and tell them that they love them, too. I think when people rush into relationships like this it develops bad habits that, if copied when people are actually looking for someone to spend the rest of their life with, could have disastrous effects as they realize that the person they claimed to love, they don't really love. Anyway, your post was great! We should have a discussion about this some time :]
I also read Alli S's post about homework and whether or not the amount we receive is appropriate. Here is my comment:
Oh Alli, thank you for vocalizing this! :] Of course, just about every kid or teenager has the same views on homework. It is very true that some homework is necessary to help the learning process. For example, without math homework, I would be doing even worse in that class than I already am. However, I totally agree that a huge load of homework does quite a bit of bad. I know that when teachers dump the homework on, all it does is make me bitter towards a subject and less eager to learn it. Spending hours upon hours on something at home most definitely makes me less eager to put time and energy towards it at school. And, I know my mom hates the amount of homework I get. I feel sorry for her. With my sister at college and my dad working downstate during the week, I am the only one home to be with my mom. Then, by the time I get home from swimming, it is 6 o'clock. I have to eat a rushed dinner her and then immediately labor through my homework until 9:30 at which point I have to go to sleep because I need to get up for swimming again. This is another problem with all the homework- too many teachers have absolutely no tolerance for extracurricular activities, which is extremely frustrating. Anyway, thanks for the awesome blog!
