Hellooo again! Ok, so I've got some quotes to discuss. Immediately. Heree we go:

"In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." --Baba Dioum, Senegalese conservationist

Now, being the good student that I am, (hehe) I did a bit of research on this guy. He is a conservationist, which, by definition, is: –noun; a person who advocates or promotes conservation, esp. of natural resources. He works mostly on African Environmental issues and the conservation of land and water.
I think that when he said this quote, he was of course referring to the environment- teaching others about conserving it in order for them to understand it and therefore; love it. But when you get rid of this aspect...this guy just said something really deep.
He's giving us one of those inevitable truths of life: you can't love something unless you truly know and understand what it is. I agree with this quotation because its very true. Like....If I didn't know what ice cream was, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't love it. If I didn't understand theatre, I wouldn't love that either! You can apply this to virtually anything. So in conclusion-this guy is super profound and awesome at giving inspirational quotes.

Well then-these last few weeks have been, well, stressful. I'm pretty sure like, EVERYONE will agree with me. I had tons of tests, quizzes, and projects due. Now that they're all done, I feel like...like...I'm freeeeee agaiinnnn!!!! Except not really cause we have more stuff to do soon! Meehhh. I will make a list of what has recently happened in my life:
1. Last week I gradually ate an entire jar of Nutella. All by myself. I'm so accomplished :)
2. I've been working really hard on my piece for Speech and Debate, and I hope it's good when I have to go compete in a few weeks!
3. You know what's awesome? Graphing calculators. Seriously. without mine I could not finish any of my Algebra homework!
4. I went to House of Torment on friday. SCARY! but really fun. I definitely recommend it!
5. This weekend I'm volunteering at Dogtoberfest. It's like this festival at the Domain where you can come and adopt dogs from lots of different rescue shelters. If anybody wants to come...that would be great! it's on saturday, all day! Bring your dogs!
Ok, that's it. Commmeeennttss are wonderful.
