Coca-Cola

Because I have nothing else to blog about and the fact that I am drinking one right now, I will be blogging about Coca-Cola. For people out there who don't know what Coca-Cola (Coke) is, it is a "carbonated soft drink," to quote Wikipedia. It is brown, and is typically found in a red aluminum can (unless it is diet coke or the holiday polar bear one). Coke was originally intended to be a medicine to treat... something. Coke actually, at one time, had trace levels of cocaine in it because Coca-Cola began to use the leaves leftover after cocaine extraction to make Coke. This is not the case anymore. It is not possible to get high off of Coke. (Darn! Just kidding, Mrs. Kirk. Just kidding.) The can I have sitting next to me is a 7.5 fluid ounces (222 milliliters for those of you who use the metric system who are reading this). It has 0 grams of fat, 30 milligrams of sodium (1% of the daily value), 25 grams of carbohydrates (8% of the daily value), 25 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein. While I know that all of you reading this would love to know what  the ingredients of my highly engaging and mesmerizing Coke can are, I need to go study, work on my Psycho essay, and wash some clothes, none of which I feel like doing right now. Maybe I'll take a nap...

Exams

For lack of anything else good to blog about, I will be blogging about exams. Ah exams, the dreadful things that come twice a year, are worth twenty percent of your semester average and encompass everything you have learned thus far. I hate exams. We are being tested on material that we have already learned (and probably forgotten), so what is the point of having a HUGE test on stuff if we have already learned it? Most teachers would probably respond to this by saying, "The point of exams is to make sure that you remember what you have learned." You go to school to learn and be prepared for "the real world," but I don't think that I will need to know half of the things that I learn in school. I don't want to be an architect, so that rules out geometry. I won't need to know off of the top of my head what glycolysis is or who the greatest ruler of the Mughal Empire was. I either want to be a psychologist or an attorney (prosecutor that is, not defense- no way am I going to try to prevent someone who has committed a crime from going to jail when they should be punished for breaking the law. Just sayin'.). I will need to know English for both of those, so I'm fine with taking English. But anyway, I am not looking forward to exams or studying for them. I am very glad that I do not have an exam on Friday! (My H period is band.)
