Anti-Delicious?

Classes have been boring this week. I did have to go and do some research for my final Sherlock Holmes paper yesterday. I was surprised how hard it was to find anything relevant to my topic. Also, my legs were all sore from jumping rope so I decided to give it a break till the weekened. I was watching Glenn Beck on Fox the other day and he had some guys on talking about social security and how privitization would help solve the problem with them running out of money. Finally, it took them long enough. I remember four, no five, years ago when I wrote a paper in highschool on how that would fix the problem. It was a really good paper, lots of facts and figures and research, well written, good spelling. Course, my teacher gave me a c-. Said it was because everytime I used Social Security in a sentence I capitalized it (just like all my sources had) and it shouldn't have been. She marked it off every single time. Once for each S. There were five pages and I used Social Security maybe five times on a page which works out to fifty points docked for inproper capitalization. Apparently my sources weren't written by English majors. At least that's what she said was her official reason for the bad grade (every other paper I wrote for that class before and after received an A by the way). Really though, it was because she didn't agree with my solution and thought higher taxes was a much more practical way to fix it. Yeah, right.

Anyway, glad someone else finally came up with the same solution, even if it was four years later. Also on the bright side, I don't have class on Friday which means I can take off early. Dad said he'd take me fishing and promised if we caught anything we could eat it. The grill at school has quit serving fish. Dad said maybe they were anti-catholic but they also quit serving  chili cheese dogs so maybe they're just anti-delicious. I leave it up to someone else to decide. The grilled cheese in the cafeteria today was soggy, if that helps the decision any.
