I don't get why we even get today off, but we do. I was bored, all day, except when I was doing my homework. Today is also Paddington Bear's 50th birthday. Columbus discovered SOUTH America! Not North America! I like school, so this is torture for me every year, and it throws my whole week out of whack! What they should do, is take Columbus day, which is not a national holiday that is recognized by most companies as a reason to have a day off, and Veterans day, which is not recognized by most companies ethier, and make it one holiday observation day where everyone gets they day off. We could call it Columbus's Veterans day, or Paddington's Veterans day, or ColumVeterbusans day, or something!

Lol!
I hate the point of "Columbus" day. He was an egotistical rapist and everyone gives him all this credit for "discovering" land that the Native Americans had ALREADY discovered. You have to borrow a book of mine called "Lies My Teachers Told Me". It's about facts like that, and for some reason in school they gloss over the REAL facts and only tell you what they want to, leading you to believe false things.
O my god! I NEED that book! Like Grandpa Gordy always says "The text books were written by the winners, you'll never learn the whole truth."... or something like that!
