Hey everybody! It's Thursday today, but I'm going to try and pretend it's Friday so the weekend is so much sweeter!
Anyhoo, today was my last day for exams! Yay! I hope I did alright on all my exams. I would love it if I got straight A's this quarter. I used to get them all the time, and now that I don't, I feel very inferior > ~ <. So after I took my exam, and the exam period ended, I went to the bathroom and was planning to just sit outside and play Pokemon until my mom could come pick my brother and me up. Well, I walked outside, and it was too cold to bear, so I just walked back inside, and went to look for one of my friends, Sriramya, because I had let her use my calculator. Well, I glanced into the cafeteria, which was the study hall/concentration camp, so I decided to walk to town. I was hungry, so I figured I'd head on over to Subway, but I was also really craving some Peach Rings, so I decided to head over to CVS too. Well, I also wanted to have a look see around and maybe do some shopping because I don't usually go shopping alone/without my family, so I thought I could do a bit of preemptive gift shopping.
So I guess it takes me about ten to fifteen minutes to walk to CVS, and I was actually a bit nervous because I was walking alone. I normally go with my friends, but my friends didn't have exams today, so that option was out, but I didn't want to go into the concentration camp either, because once you go in, I don't think you can get out very easily. (Elaborating on that, yesterday, as the study hall/camp was just getting started, the security guards starting ushering people in, and at that point, everyone that was in there started trying to get out, blocking the door. My friends and I turned tail and ran out the back down. It was hilarious xD) So I was off to CVS alone. I got there, and immediately went to find those Peach Rings. Since this wasn't my first time, I got them quickly, but since I had a lot of time to burn, I started poking around.
**Note, this is the same CVS as the earlier post, but this time I had no trouble. Probably because I was alone? maybe?
I found some cute stuffed animals saying "I love you!" or those lines and whatnot, and I wanted to maybe buy one for my mom. I found a tiger holding a heart that said "Wild About U!", and that was what I wanted to get, since my mom was born in the Year of the Tiger. I also saw a bear holding a heart, and that was cute too. I also considered chocolate, but my mom's been avoiding chocolate, so I didn't want to do that to her. So I walked down aisle by aisle. I saw some Physician Formula stuff, and totally wanted to get it, because it was new and I wanted to try it, but I have enough makeup stuff :( I also saw Burt's Bees Almond Milk thingy >_>; It's a hand cream that I've been wanting to try, and I thought I might give to my mom because it helps dry skin and Burt's Bees is supposed to be a good brand, but I opened the two jars that were there, and both seemed pretty icky (as in someone dipped their finger in to try it or something) so I didn't buy it.
In the end, I bought a bag of Peach Rings and a My Little Pony activity book for myself. Hey--before you say anything, it had two posters and 30 stickers! Of the My Little Pony TV series! Jackpot! Oh, and the activities pages aren't too bad I guess >_> But yeah, I thought my haul today was pretty good.
It was about 1 PM when I finally left, so I headed back to school. When I got back, I just sat outside where I originally was planning on playing Pokemon. To be honest, I don't remember what I did there. I think I just sat and speculated. I tend to do that a lot when I'm alone. I don't think I talked out loud to myself, so I guess there's some relief.

I was reading a Buttersafe comic and it reminded me of Bee Movie. I don't like Bee Movie, because it's completely wrong. Well, it's not completely wrong, I'm sure, but there are some aspects that really get on my nerves. For example, the portrayal of the pollinators? It's completely wrong, and it totally irks me. I'm not talking about how they carry tanks. I'm fine with that. I don't like that the pollinators are portrayed as extremely masculine, with all the female bees fawning over them, because in real life, pollinators are not male. They are female. ALL the worker bees are female. Now, you may ask yourself, "If all the worker bees are females? Which bees are male?" Male bees are called drone bees. Drones cannot fly. They never leave the hive. They cannot fly. They are smaller. They cannot fly. They have shorter lives. Did I mention they can't fly? Literally, their only role in the hive is to mate with the Queen so the Queen can continue laying eggs. It's still important. But you'd have to agree, it's kind of pathetic.
I also want to point out that the same is true in ant societies. Worker ants are all sterile females; as is with bees. In ant society, the only purpose of the male (as far as I know, but I'm not ant expert) is for mating with the Queen.
So, that's my rant on Bee Movie and why I don't like it. And also my day.
Long post! :O
