Okay, first thing I'd like to say is that in the past week there have been 32 hits on the site and the first intercontinental hit from someone in south Africa so thank you.
Next thing is 24 IS BACK I'm very happy that 24 has finally returned to TV and is better than ever. Tony, Bill, Jack, the whole crew is back and has compelling as ever.
Next thing is that tomorrow is the inauguration of Barack Obama the 44th (correct me if I'm wrong) President of the United States. Finally someone who has a hope of changing things in this world.
Next up is the crisis in Gaza. Now before you condemn me for saying this, hear me out. I think that Israel was completely justified in their invasion. Hamas has been unjustly attacking Isreal for months so the invasion was justified. So now for the news, there is a cease fire to give Gaza a chance to stop their rocket attacks. Hopefuly it will end but if it dosent Israel will be 100% justified in whatever there next actions are.
So thats the end of my little Exciting News segment. Hopefully you will be as excited as I am.

Exams
Being in high school obviously means that first semester exams are coming up right around the corner (this week coming up for me). They make us teenagers stressed to our limits and for the first time grade nines. Ooh, it is insane how nervous I am right now. I am extremely lucky with my exams because only one of them is formal so I get a couple days off during exam week. But I can't imagine what some of the people with 3 or even 4 formal exams must be feeling right now. I know that I should really be studying right now but Blogging calms me so I can study later on.
Well now that that's over with, how about some tips. Sure parents will always give the "study-hard-and-don't-wait-until-the-last-minute" speech but I don't think that entirely the right way to go. I think whats better is to evenly spread out your time. If you have 3 exams like I do, you should take the time you have which for me is 2 days for 2 exams and then 3 days for the last one, and spread your study time out. So say you have a french exam first. When you wake up on the Saturday morning before the exam you should; listen to music, play video games, eat before noon. Make sure you have had a good lunch and around 12:30 start to study. Go hard for two and a half hours then take a break. Do an hour of something you like. Have fun and then go back and continue. It will seriously lower your stress level.
Next tip should be listen to music while studying. I do not know if it helps everyone the same way it helps. i just know that listening to my favorite music while studying blocks out all outside stimuli and lets me concentrate on the task at hand. Plus it adds enjoyment in to the pain in the ass that studying is.
Then comes exam day. Here are my tips for that dreadful day.
1. The best tip is not to panic. It will let you keep your head clear.
2. Think every answer through.
3. When doing multiple choice questions, GO WITH YOUR GUT. Thinking things there is bad.
4. Do not under any circumstances doubt your self. You are smart and your brain likes getting things right so doubting yourself is equal to confusing your self.
5.Make sure you read the entire question. 50% of all mistakes come from people who read half the question and do it wrong.
So, hopefully these will help you all out.

Guilty Pleasures
Guilty Pleasures - Something that would ruin us if our friends knew about it.
Despite my best interests I thought it would be fun for my few faithful readers to hear some things that few people know about me. Despite my knowledge of the mode of the people at any one time I still fall victim to the popular influence. There are some horrible songs I still enjoy listening to. There are some movies that if my friends saw me watching Id probably die of embarrassment.
So here is a short list of things I am embarrassed of.
I enjoy good romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and the American President. I listen to and sometimes dance to songs like Yeah! by Usher or Low by Flo Rida. I enjoy the show the OC. I think its funny (and the girls are total babes(not to sound too objectifying)). I like old Disney movies like Hercules, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and so forth. They are good movies.
So those are most of the things that almost no one knows about me. They may be laugh worthy and totally embarassing but they are things that I do and enjoy.

Happy New Year
Ok since it's finally 2009 I can finally relax. That year was stressful like hell. The elections, the economy, ugh it was not the greatest year on record. but great news is coming our way. Barack Obama is going to be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. The one hope I have for this ray of sunshine is that his administration works. I hope they can pass the legislation that will bring this world out of it's economic crisis. Hopefully Barack Obama will be the beginning of a long line of democratic presidents.
Next up I want to talk about what's going to happen on the 26th of January. Canadian parliament will be unprorogued and Jim Flarehty will present the federal budget. If the conservative party decides to ignore the other parties recomendations then we may be heading for our 4th federal election in 5 years. No matter how much I'd like to see Stephen Harper out of power I think and hope he will listen to this bleeding world and provide a budget to help it out. If not let me be the first one to kick King Stephen off his throne and hand overthe crown to Michael Ignatieff.
So with all that in mind I'm hoping that 2009 is a good year and that this economic crisis will see its end by the end of it.
