Blogging is Hazardous to Our Health

I don't know about you, but I have had enough blogging, and I'm ready to give it up.  Unfortunately, if I did that, my grade in composition wouldn't look so good.  So I have come up with a way to persuade Mr. Dykstra into not making us blog.  Before I start, I would like you all to know that this plan will never work, and I am aware of that.  If it DID happen to work, this would be how I would get us all off the hook: by explaining to Mr. Dykstra that blogging is hazardous to our health.  I can back this up with 3 legit (or not so legit) reasons. 

You are probably all aware that teenagers love to procrastinate, and they are very good at it.  I know I am, because I wait until 10:30 every Sunday night to write my blog.  I will admit that is partially our own fault, but Mr. Dykstra could still cut us some slack, even though we all know he would NEVER do that.  But anyway, I have a point to make.  I would guess that about half of Mr. Dykstra's composition students are up late on Sunday nights writing their blog, which means they are not getting enough sleep.  Sleep is good, sleep deprivation is bad.  It's HAZARDOUS. 

Blogging requires sitting at a computer staring at a screen until you are done blogging, which for me, can take hours because I get distracted easily.  Sitting at the computer is bad for your health in many ways.  Most people, when sitting at a computer, are in a slouchy position.  Having bad posture can affect a person's whole body.  Looking at the computer screen for too long can cause eye strain, which can lead to blurred vision and headaches.  I'd say this seems pretty HAZARDOUS.

It often takes me a very long time to come up with a subject to blog about.  Do any of you have the same problem?  I'm guessing at least some of you do.  Well all this thinking leaves me with mental stress, and I feel as if all the intelligence in my brain is drained out.  (Ok, maybe that's a little exaggerated.)  So then every monday at school, my brain doesn't function properly, and I can't focus.  You'd think Mr. Dykstra would want me (and you, if you have this same problem) to be able to do my best in school, and be able to focus on what we're doing in his class.  If he keeps making us blog, I won't be able to learn in his class.  My grade will drop, which; according to my mom anyway, would be HAZARDOUS.

Point proven?  Mr. Dykstra won't think so, but at least I can say I tried.
