Judging Others

I’ve noticed over the past few years that some students judge people by how neat they are and think that they always get good grades. But I have some friends that are REALLY messy, but get really good grades. Many other people also judge others by how they look. I don’t think that that is fair. It is not nice to judge people by how they look, act or their personality. That’s a form of bullying.  If your friend doesn’t get great grades, are you going to ignore or bully them? What if they look different? No! I’ve also noticed that people who don’t get good grades often copy the ones who do get better grades.  Why? I don’t think that judging others is fair. What do you think?

Let it SNOW...let it SNOW...let it SNOW!!!

I myself am a HUGE fan of snow!!! I have absolutely no problems with it. COLD...dress warm, WET...dry your clothes, SLIPPERY...be careful, SHOVELING...good exercise!!! So many people hate snow because of these teensy, weensy little details. These things come with the whole “winter package”. If you can get over these things, you can find SO many different activities to do and so many different ways to enjoy winter!!!

Skiing and building snow forts are two of MY favourite activities to do in the snow. There are so many other things to do in the winter like playing hockey ,ice/figure skating, building stuff (snowmen,forts,figures,etc.), snowboarding, going tobogganing, having snowball fights or even something as simple as playing outside or enjoying nature!!! As you can see, there are so many things to do in winter. I know I didn't list them ALL but those are some of the more “popular” things to do.

When people complain of being COLD, I don’t see why you don’t just dress warmer...add a few layers. I can understand if it’s 30 below Zero or something, but other than that DON”T COMPLAIN!!! If you are doing an activity like skiing or snowboarding, they even have warmers for your feet and hands too!!!
So no excuses....go out and enjoy the SNOW!!!

Well that’s all I have to say...tell me what YOU think.

N.H.L lockout

I am really mad that there is a lockout this year for the N.H.L. Next year I am going to Austria for a year so I will not be able to watch any hockey. So this year I was really looking forward to it. Another reason that I was looking forward to it was because I thought the Oilers might have a chance for the playoffs and I really wanted to see a playoff game were the Oilers were in again.

I think that the players are asking for too much money. If each player in the N.H.L has a contract over 1 million dollars and all the good players have contracts over 6 million I think that is way too much money and I am not on the players side.
It is still possible that the N.H.L can start up again but it is not very likely. They just cancelled the Winter Classic (Toronto vs Detroit) And this  game was supposed to an New years. That pretty much means that they are not playing hockey to January. Even if they do agree and they start it up in January it would start in the middle of the season and it would not be as fun to watch.
Hopefully they get things settled. That is all I have to say.
