Trying to Learn Things in a Fun Way

Ok, so we just got out of English class, and we were learning about how to commit things to memory in a fun way. The way I see it, any way you're having knowledge shoved down your throat isn't really going to be fun, but I don't see a problem with making it easier.
Well, that's all I got right now, so I'll just go eat another one of those awesome little tangerine Altoids on Mr. Gage's desk that I love so very, very much (the altoids, not the desk or Mr. Gage. That's another thing we were going over in English. I'm sure that means something, but I don't know what. Hmmmm.......).

Valentine's Day!

Okay, remind me again, what are we celebrating here? Seriously, if you look at it, Valentine's Day was basically just added to the calendar to have a holiday between Christmas and Easter. Personally, I think President's Day is more worthwhile, because we actually get a day off of school for that, but on Valentine's Day, those of us who are more of loners still have to go to school and feel like gagging every time someone does a 'sweet' thing. I don't know, I say we should show our love for each other all of the time, and if it's that kind of a love thing, then I'd rather not hear about it. Well, excuse me, I'm off to drown my sorrows and hide my deep, psychological troubles that this day has brought on in hot chocolate, and keep 'em coming.
