Blog 6, this time based on a fun subject! Profanity, sometimes viewed as a bad thing, but also viewed as good by others. Here is the dictionary definition:
"Blasphemous or obscene language."
But who reads books? Profanity is not bad at all, and although this is just my opinion, I would like to show you my views.
Profanity can be split into two categories. There is type 1 profanity, the release profanity. Then there is the type 2 profanity, the offensive profanity. I support both types, however, they are like diabetes - They are very different.
Type 1 profanity - The best type. This type of profanity is shunned by many, but I do not see why. This profanity is way to release anger in a harmless way. I see anger as two ways, you can either release anger with violence, or with profanity. I'll let you pick.
Type 2 profanity - The bad type. This type of profanity is shunned by even more. I do not entirely support this type of profanity, as it is purely used to offend people. This type shouldn't be used whatsoever. It hurts people, and although it does release anger in some situations, it is a very sharp double edged sword.

Blog 5 - Studying
Another word that really annoys me. Studying, or the process of learning something through the revision or reading of notes to increase knowledge on a specific subject. This is a random subject compared to my other blog posts, but I felt that I should talk about something more important this time around. Studying is like practicing for a sport, you can do it for years, but if your not doing it in the correct manner, it will only make things worse. I have, unfortunately, learned this the hard way.
I won't go into any details, as I'd like to keep the issue open to everyone, but I have had a very bad experience with some incorrect studying in another one of my academic classes. As many of my friends may know, I take pride in my effort and efficiency towards my school work, however high school is entirely different ball game. I study for every test, no matter how big or small, and for the most part I have been very successful in my academics throughout my life. Here is a short story:
"On one of my past test's, I was a little lazy in my studying and I did not do so well. I almost see this as a good thing, however, as it was a very crucial wake-up call. On the next test I had I studied very hard and really tried to improve that nasty grade from before. I re-wrote notes, had my dad question me, and even read out of an old text book. However, I did not do so well, once again.
I was quite irritated with this second grade, as I had felt that I had done all of the right things in order to improve. I revised the test, and I had realized a heart sinking fact - I had studied the previous unit and not this one.
As I quickly feared this may turn into a snowball effect creating a quite depressing year of science for me, I needed to devise a plan to stop these chaotic grades. And then, as I was thinking of an idea for an Academic Blog, it hit me; Planning."
The point I am trying to make about studying is that you must be careful with what you study, and make sure you do not study the wrong things. Studying is a very powerful thing, and it can strongly implant notions and idea's into your brain. This means that it can implant the correct answer's, but it can also implant the incorrect answer's. Studying is a slippery slope, and I think that if you aren't completely sure if your notes are correct or not, then do not study them until they are verified. Learn from my mistakes, and take this word of advice: Verify your notes.
