Pen pal

Recently I got a new pen pal from France, and I think it’s really cool that I can learn about another culture and communicate with someone who is very different from me, and also get the chance to help her to learn the English language.

So yeah I don’t know what the point of this is, accept that we have lost touch with some of the traditional things we have done in the past. In England, the villages are twinned with villages in France, and in the past schools would exchange student, so you would go to stay with a French family, and a French child would come to stay with your family. So yeah we should keep in touch with people from around the world in more traditional ways.

Parents arguing?

Well i personally think that a kid should never have to listen to their parents arguing, trust me have listen to enough of these arguments and it can only ever upset a child so i have a few things to say about this topic:

• Firstly, if you are a parent and you are reading this, take this from the perspective of a 16 year old girl who has listen to years of her parents screaming at each other, it isn't fair on your child and if your gonna argue do it away from them.

• More importantly if you are a kid and your parents start to argue take some advice from me go into your room, close the door and play some music and text your friends because the last thing you want to do is listen to that. And if they ask you questions or guidance that they are in the right, please don't give your opinion because it only comes back to get you!

Birthdays

Birthdays are such an interesting thing. In one day you become a year older, and people ask you things like 'do you feel any older?' and 'how does it feel to be __ now?' when really its one of the most illogical things to say because they are only a day older, and they become this much older every single day! Its kind of funny really that people make such a big deal about the day they were born every single year, and it also makes me laugh that so many things have a limit on them, so you cant do them until you are a certain age, even the day before.

It's just fascinating, in one day we age a year.

Logic Vs Creativity

It’s very unusual for people to be both, some people are, although these people don’t normally specialise in both, they are just more of an all-round person, which means that although they understand most things, they can’t quite take one the extra mile.

You see there are logical people and they think in a special way. They can see one definite answer to most questions, and look for ways that they can solve something the same every time. Problem solving is easy because using their mind they can find the method they need to succeed. However, when they are trying to do something creative, they can’t let themselves go and really let their mind come up with something new and amazing, because they are looking for the perfect formula that will solve the problem.

Then we have the creative people. Every decision the come to in life they let their heart lead, and answer in a way that feels right to them. They are great when it comes to writing and painting, but when problem solving they struggle to focus and find the logical steps that is needed, and the solution.

Neither is better than the other, both have a special impact on society and I don’t think one could exist without the other. If the world had only creative thinkers, nothing would get done, everyone would be happy and chilled and surrounded by beauty, but there would be no inventions, or developments. If there were only logical people, then yes the world would be very well developed and they would know all about the wonders of the world, but they would have nothing to look forward to, no books to take them away from a hard day, no artwork to admire, no music to calm a bad mood.
