1. Some people seem to split with each other all the time and then get back together. I'd hate that. People should be more patient with each other.
2.  I sometimes get a bit nervous or embarrassed when i have to express myself., but I like texting people and chatting on the internet. It's a good way to get to know a person before going on a date.

Groundhog day

On February 2, the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil comes out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob (Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania) - in front of thousands of followers from all over the world - to predict the weather for the rest of winter. 

According to legend, if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring. 

After Phil emerges from his burrow, he speaks to the Groundhog Club president in "Groundhogese" (a language only understood by the current president of the Inner Circle). His proclamation is then translated for the world.

  • did Phil see his shadow?
