High school is about learning. Sure, you have a few good teachers and a few bad teachers, but no matter what kind of person they are, you can always learn something from them. If a person tries to teach you something, it usually makes you understand how that individual does whatever they're teaching you. However, even though you may understand that that is how they do it, that might not be the way that works for you. Learning is when you not only understand how to do something, but you can apply at nearly any time in my life.

This week has brought about some particularly persnickety medical problems. I'm not completely sure why, but somehow over the last week I have lost all hearing ability in my left ear. I feel as if my entire balance is thrown off. Even as I look at this computer screen, the letters are appearing askew. But for some reason, I'm not too worried about it. Okay, I'm going to the doctor, no doubt! However, this experience has brought on a whole new appreciation for my "regular" hearing abilities, and a sympathy for those without the sense of hearing.

I decided to continue my streak of revisiting old pastimes this weekend with my good friend that I like to call Elise. Elise is the name of my pure white, 8-speed bicycle.

However, the price of being late is not nearly as great as the benefits are of taking a long, soothing bike ride.

Tonight marks the date of a horrible tragedy that will haunt my soul for at least a day. My Internet went down. I know, it's awful. I'll be accepting and expecting condolences tomorrow at school. But for now, let's discuss both the pros and cons of what actually happened. So as I said, I got home from a long day at work to find that our Internet connection had been obliterated for the night.
