The week from hell is almost over! After Monday I’ll be free for probably a whole two days before I have a pile of work to do again. This past Tuesday I had a vertebrae biology lab practical, then a statistics project due Wednesday, a statistics test Thursday, and a vertebrae biology test Friday. This coming Monday I have my genetics test, which I am 100% not prepared for. The good news? We get to use 3 sheets of paper on it to help us, so I’m really not stressing out too much about it.
I think that Tom and I are going to see Taken tonight. That is if we aren’t too lazy and just sit around and watch TV / watch him play PS3.
One of the things in the news lately that has caught my eye (other than the huge snake fossil found) has been the big deal over a picture taken of Michael Phelps smoking pot out of a bong. At first, it seemed that it wasn’t too big of a deal, most of his sponsors basically were like whatever, it’s his personal life. Now though, he’s getting dropped by Kellogg’s as well as suspended for 3 months from any money from USA Swimming as well as not being able to swim in any competitions. Now, I’m not a pot smoker by any means, but I just don’t agree with this. I mean, yes, he did something that was wrong, but I just think people are making way too big of a deal out of this. Why aren’t they doing anything to the other people at the party who were smoking? They test for drugs during competitions, so if he’s not smoking then, who’s business is it what he does in his free time? The other argument that I’ve seen, is that he’s supposed to be a role model to children. I’m sorry, but I’m almost 100% sure that’s what the PARENTS job is, not some random sports star to raise their child and teach them right from wrong.
