Of Rent, Teachers, Random Books, and Notes

So life is unpredictable, and I need a place to write about the random stuff I think about each day-the stuff that's not really deep in any way (if it was, I wouldn't write it here-I actually have another blog, and notebook, for that). So, here is what is currently on my mind:

-Rent is closing July 1st. It's my favorite Broadway show, and I've seen it four times. The last two times were the best performances I've ever seen, so I think they were also the last two times.

-Teachers. They influence our lives so much, for better or worse. The bad teachers can make you hate a subject you thought you loved. The good ones can make you want to learn. The best ones can change your life. I'll write about this more, because I've had the pleasure of having several influential teachers of the good variety. The one thing I can say, though, is that they hate when students don't care...

-Caring. I hate it when people don't care as well. It's your life, you should care about every aspect of it. Not caring can lead to nowhere good.

In a way, this blog will be for me to write about all the things I think about that don't fit into the categories of writing a story, writing in a journal, ect. Essentially, a random blog of sorts. I'm pretty sure many people have had a random book of sorts to write it. Probably an innocent looking notebook filled with jokes, really odd thoughts, and the occasional insulting of another student or teacher. Also, they're great for writing (and preserving!) notes during class, if you have the patience to pass a notebook back and forth. This works before high school, but not after. My friend and I found a new solution-pass notes in code. The teacher who saw the note did a double take, and then laughed because he realized he couldn't read it.

The code itself wasn't hard to make up, or learn. It's weird that we could learn that code within 42 minutes (of math class that morning) and yet it takes us forever to learn Spanish. But think about it-if your teachers don't know another language (or don't know it well), a note written in the language you've been learning can be just as good as one written in code. And can be used in that "real world" they keep telling us about.
