Well, since I guess... No one except for myself is going to be reading these... I don't really need to have an introduction. Yes, this is going to basically be my diary, except that anyone who manages to find it can read it. Anyone who wants to know the inner workings of me, Len Kim.

For anyone reading this-- I'm sure that sometimes you'll find that I'm as complex as a computer running off of clockworks, with strange hopes and desires foreign to your own, but sometimes I'll just be the run of the mill girl, wanting only the simplest things from life. Enough with the excessive analogies, I had English today. Can you tell?

TODAY... Well, I don't know. I'm really bad at writing these things, so... Well, I don't know. I feel like I'm an idiot... typing... stuff. For no reason, either! Figures. Oh well.

I had my BioCh2 test today... It was hard. >:( Hopefully I'll have gotten at least a B on it. What is Ms. Seto thinking having a test this hard right near the end of the quarter?! Is she *trying* to lower her class average right before report cards come out? Oh well, better get used to it. S'pose it was alright.

However, what's been REALLY stressing me out is my Journalism course... as a staffer on the newspaper, I've been getting quite a few of my opinions pieces published. However, because I've been mostly talking about politics... conservative politics... in a school which of which 95% of the students are hard-left nutters, the school paper (especially our adviser) has been getting a lot of complaints, asking me to be removed from the staff. In fact, a petition has gone out... asking me to be removed from staff. Chances are it won't happen, however, I feel like my image has been tarnished. My grade was also lowered to a B in the class, and because I only have one week to the end of the quarter, I'm afraid I'll be getting a B-- the lowest grade I've ever gotten. >:(

Thankfully it isn't the semester where it'll effect my so-far-perfect GPA, but whatever. It's frustrating, I guess. I feel like I can't even have my own opinions in my school any more just because people who live by "Diversity", and "Acceptance of others thought (unlike those dirty *republicans*)" certainly aren't accepting my freedom of thought. The real flames came when I wrote a piece about Proposition 8 in CA (for anyone who doesn't know, it's a bill that wants to revoke the gay marriage laws) that was for it... and then all hell broke loose. One of my primary attacks against it is that... well, basically, I cited multiple studies that showed that gay couples are less effective parents, their children having higher crime rates, lower grades and success rates (etc.) because there are psychological elements that children need-- some brought out by a mother, others by a father. Soon as that edition goes out, I get slammed. But it's okay, I guess. I can live with a B, it isn't the end of the world, and it isn't like I'm not going to be able to go to college if I can't bump it back up to an A by the end of the semester. I guess I'm just a bit frustrated because I didn't actually do anything WRONG to get that, it's just that I can no longer express my opinions without being attacked for it by people who makes speeches about love and acceptance-- and I don't know. Maybe it's their raw, sheer and utter hypocrisy that make me angry. After all, no one likes a hypocrite.

Anyways, enough about the badness of the day. < / r a n t >

Time for some fun stuff! The debate yesterday. I think that McCain really pulled it out of the bag. 20 minutes through the debate, he had Obama on the defensive, stuttering and all.

Right now I'm feeling kind of thoughtful. It's been a while since I've reflected on my day. Ever since school started, it's been like a non-stop roller coaster with no breaks. Sadly, it sounds kind of corny, but hey, sometimes that's what we need, right? A little something to lighten your load is always good. Anyways, enough now, I should be getting back to my homework. < / p o s t >

As always,
