Subject of the Week : christmas music

Yes jake if you havnt noticed i'v been changing the names of my reveiws since we started this blog...but it doesnt really mater cause we're really thr only people who read it. But i think i'm gunna stop numbering them, and just call them "subject of the week : blank blank".
This week I've chosen Christmas music because its already on the fudging radio stations. And it's not just in PA ether, I ask a couple Wow guildys and its all over the place. I have no problem with christmas music, i love it but i think that its still a little too early for it. Its before thanksgiving for god sac...Has christmas become that much of a comercial that we have to start advertising it right after halloween (im not sure if i spelled that right)? I think that Christmas music should be played at least at the begining of december. It would accually make more sence if they started like 10-15 days before the 25th.
Second of all were is the thanksgiving music? No artist came up with a song that describes, a day were every american has the right to gain a dozen pounds and its publically acceptable?

Subject 4: Bad Teachers

Like most people in the world of the educational world i have some good teachers and some bad. But for some reason everyone remembers the bad ones the most. My bad teacher is unfortunatly the class that is the most important to me, and the one class that i really want to learn in. In fact i am writeing this because i simple have no clue what to do for the rest of the day. Right this very minute she is playing scrabble on her computer in the back of the room. We were given 2 things to work on this week...2 programming assignments...i have no clue how to do this one part but when i go up and ask her...well she ignores me for a minute expecting me to get some kind of ADD and go back to my seat and be quiet for the rest of the day. I am accually very lucky in some sences i dont work on school work most of the day and just sit around and play falling sand on igoogle. But when it does come to she has to give us some work we are all pretty much unprepared because she doesnt get up in front of class and accually TEACH! In a teacher i expect a teacher that will walk around the room for a while and ask if anyone needs any help. I am very tired of this and would like to know if anyone else has the same problem. So if you have any Teachers that don't teach or are just bad at teaching, make a difference. and confront them and tell them to fudge off and go home cause your wasteing my learning time!
