Rainy Wednesday

I am sure all of you take GP. No not the batteries. I mean the General Paper. Except those who take KI of course. But I'm sure they're dead because KI MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE DIGESTIVE TRACT IRRITATION WITH NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA. MAY CAUSE FETAL EFFECTS.
(I know it's an old YJ joke but I just can't resist)

Anyway I had to do a piece of homework for GP. Finding examples for the statement "Media messages have social and political consequences". And I thought about the bloody war in Iraq.and how it doesn't fit the criteria for the example because it doesn't really matter what the media says. People still die. And it's half a world away so nobody cares. Everyone says "Aww that's so sad" but instead feel even better because they're not in Iraq.Therefore it is essential that my example is something closer to home. Like weather forecasts. For example, if I know it's going to rain tomorrow, that means I can't fly my kite in school and yj can't do his morning run. which is sad. On a larger scale, if the weather forecast had notified everyone of the tsunami beforehand, then nobody would have died. It's all the weather forecasts' fault. It's due to it that so many people died last year. Therefore we can see that the lack of media messages also has dire consequences.

And this brings me to the freaky weather yesterday. If the weather forecast had told me of that, I would have been in a temple praying the day before instead of doing my homework. And the worst thing was it was during training. It rained. Very heavily. and then stopped. and the cycle continues for n times where n=infinity. Perfect weather. For catching pneumonia that is. And then me and yj went for french class where we had lots (lots!)of fun.As detailed in yj's post yesterday. Sorry my post is abit lag. You can thank my computer for hanging and restarting for m times where m also = infinity.
