my voice in class

so I will share with you a couple statements that has happened in school so far:

SCIENCE CLASS

In science we were talking about homogenized mixtures. The example on the paper was homogenized milk. My teacher was explaining how when you leave milk out, the butterfat rises to the top, thus making it separated from the rest.

Somone said something about the fat, and then my teacher said, "yeah thats why I drink skim milk"

and then she was talking about the ingredients in skim milk and why it's different than other milk,

and I thought to myself, "YES this is the perfect chance to make my voice heard"

so I blurted out, "Yeah AAAAND it has cow's pus and blood in it!"

and everyone turned and looked at me

so i continued talking, "Did you know milk is colored? Chocolate milk is actually pink-tinted... that's why they have to make it chocolate and color it.... milk is not for humans to drink - it's to fatten baby cows!... we are the only species to drink other species milk, and thats DISGUSTING..."

oh, how i love getting off topic.

BAM, hit them hard. They will probably think of this later when they are drinking milk.

SOmething I find funny is how much I have told my friends about their food (ususally only when they ask) but they always tell me that I ruin it for them. But in a good way - like i ruin the unhealthy things - they are happy about it usually. But a lot of them say, "MAN ash, you totally ruined milk for me. Now I can't stop thinking about pus and blood when i drink milk so i'm starting to decrease my intake" or something... it's great, actually. haha, oh the influence I have. =)

U.S. HISTORY CLASS

As most of you know, I'm a rock climber. My passion is to be outside, in nature, dancing on the face of a rock. With this passion comes CAMPING, something that is practically required on trips. I love the camping lifestyle, and I have always planned on camping for LONG periods of time when I get older.

SOOO this is my story: My teacher was trying to prove that everyone cares about money. He asked how many people want to be rich... everyone raised their hands except a few (of course i kept my hand down!) He also asked who would want a new car (I could care less, I already have a car, i don't really care to get the best out there!)

So this is the main one: He asked "Who would want to graduate college and live in a tent?!"

and of COURSE I raised my hand, because that is SERIOUSLY what i want to do! lol i think everyone in the class thinks i was joking... they don't know me, do they!?

YAY for making my voice heard. I can't wait for any possible time to make people think, HARD. I thought the milk story was a classic... because you KNOW they will all be thinking about what i went ranting on later one sometime when they are drinking milk.
