Realizations at the End of the Semester

I realized today that I should have attended math class more. The reason for this sudden realization involves two reasons.. First, my grade is a C and second, it's finals week! Yay! I want to be a teacher, show children the joys of learning. Sadly, math is one subject that I do not enjoy. My Foundations of Early Childhood teacher says that I should approach all subjects with enthusiasm. My pessimistic attitude could ruin a child's love of math forever. And we all know boys are much better at math than girls. It is not a stereotype, it is a fact. Of course, my slightly feminist self burns at the mere mention of a male's superiority in anything. No, I am not a man-hater. I only believe that girls should be allowed to excel.


Also, I have realized that I have a strange addiction to anime. I know, right? It all started when a friend of mine had a picture on her laptop. I, being ignorant of this world of anime, asked if it was sailor moon. (Because in the end, all anime characters look alike, am I right?) She laughed at me! She then explained that it was a show called Fruits basket. So, I looked it up. Watched all 26 episodes and read all the manga up to date- all in one week. Needless to say, I was addicted. Then a friend's boyfriend suggested I watch Bleach. I watched episode one and was immediately hooked. I have now watched all 166 episodes and read all 315 chapters of the manga. I have watched Gakuen Alice, Ouran High School Host Club, and Prince of Tennis ( I'm on episode 133). Honestly, I think I need an intervention! I even read the fan stories on FanFiction.net.

The Good news is, I leave for a study abroad trip to Ukraine, Paris, and Amsterdam on May 7th. I am certain that I will overcome this anime addiction considering I will lack a computer for half a summer, then I will take summer classes all of June and go on a family vacation through July.

So, hopefully after reading this, you will think before you watch anime. Haha
