3rd week

IT's THE THIRD WEEK ALREAdY. Yes, it's a shock for me too. I'm kind of scared, the summer has been good and all but I don't intend on making it go by just like my previous ones. I failed the permit test AGAIN. waaaaa. Make doa for me. If I fail again, my dad will get realy angry. Is it even worth it, anyway? 10 hours in line so far. This place has the worst waiting lines. imagine waiting and not accomplishing anything. Munee got booted from the other testing area from racial discrimination. Pretty stupid.

Well, in other news, I read BBC and found this interesting article on India.
It reads:
"It's goodbye to Baa Baa Black Sheep and Humpty Dumpty for children in primary schools in a central Indian state."

Basically,
India has problems with American literature and now reading any books will be unpatriotic to India. This includes nursery rymes and stories like, "humpty Dumpty". The question is, why doesn't India just read its own literature in the first place? If it didn't want any problems, why take in American books. I'm on the Indian side. Their ban is justified. America wouldn't want to read any of India's books anyway, would it. Nah. What's your opinion? The article is here.

Here are some other articles that say nursery rymes are propoganda to make kids desensitized to violence. Funny.
