is it weird to do this in public?

people always seem to make a big deal about others putting deodorent on in public because I guess it's awkward for tothers and is basically saying "hey guess what everybody... I STINK"
well, to be honest, i don't see how this is any different from when people spray body sprays and axe and stuff in the halls... they are sending the same message are they not..? you're obviously tying to covour up some nasty odors, cuz if u weren't then there would be no need to be spraying that stuff around. so yeah, i just think that if spraying sprays in public isn't awkward then how is putting on deodarent.

When the vice pres. of RIM came in, he answered basically all of our questions. I found it interesting how he had an english degree and became an engineer. Again, this demonstrates how important it is to keep your options open. For me personally, I think it'd be hard to be a vice pres. of such a rapidly increasing and well developed company. There's a lot of responsabilities and traveling and stuff like that involved. It's cool that Scott Wahl accepted the challanges and is becoming very successful with his work.

Today the math prof, Judeth came and talked about being...well, a math prof.
I found it interesting how math people are very much needed in various fields. For example she said that they are needed to collaborate with scientests to find cures for illnesses and stuff like that. Also she talked a lot about keeping your doors open to oppertunities because she never thought she'd pursue a carreer as a University prof but when the oppertunity presented it's self, she took it.

today Melissa (i forget her last name) came in to talk about her carreers. she started out as a live tv news reporter then after she had a baby she decided to be the counsellor of waterloo instead. To me this seemed like a very rendom transition. I still don't understand why she stopped reporting and interviewing. When she talked about being a live reporter, she seemed to love it and talked mostly about that. It was interesting knowing how she got to be where she is today aswell.

who to vote for

i would probably vote for the liberal party (Andrew Telegdi) because i really like the ideas he proposses. my two favourite are $1,000 per year in university and more money for a child care plan. I liked these because with the $1,000, it will allow university to be cheaper. With the child care plan money, this will help parents afford daycare for their children so they can focus on their jobs and not worry about what they are going to do with their chikdren.

WRITTING AS A CAREER

I would never want to be a writer. Being a writer requires to much creativity, imagination, and grammer which im not too good at...
I hate writing and I CAN NOT even  think about havinig to write a chapterbook. that would be awful. I'm also very lazy and would probably get writers block alot. I can think of a million other things I'd want to do other than sit there for weeks and write a book that I would probably never even read. 
Therefor, i could never be a writer. 

a little bit about my background

JAMAICA

FOOD: Jamaica has a wide range of food. Most of it features exotic spices and tropical friuts and vegtables, due to its location. Most popular on the menu is jerk, a marinade that can be added to almost anything, but usually meat. The spicy sauce includes many of the island's native ingredients.

ARTS (MUSIC): Jamaicans take pride in their artistic style. Influenced by the island's unique culture as well as European, American, and African art forms, islanders have mastered a style all their own. the most popular form of Jamaican music is reggae, which has a sound is so easy to enjoy that it has gained popularity throughout the world. Many reggae musicians have grown to international fame, most notably Bob Marley, who worked with and influenced many other local musicians before his death in 1981. The popularity of this genre has continued to

            Reggae may be the most well-known style of music, but there are many more. However, the different types of music performed now fall into three groups: dance, religious, and work and entertainment.

Religious music: Religious music has been influenced by the various smaller religions popular on the island. These songs are generally accompanied by drumming and chanting. Songs can also include singing and other musical instruments.

Work & entertainment: Work songs are an aspect of the tradition rooted in the culture of slavery, when songs were used to pass messages and gossip, though they also helped ease the work of the slaves. Songs of this type followed a traditional African call and response format. However, games are also sung, and children often gather in circles to sing and clap. Games are generally very physically demanding, so there are rarely instruments in these songs.
