Here are some pretty amazing and funny current statistics:

• Americans buy 2.7 billion packages of breakfast cereal each year. If laid end to end, the empty cereal boxes from one year's consumption would stretch to the moon and back.
• The cereal industry uses 816 million pounds of sugar per year, enough to coat each and every American with more than three pounds of sugar. The cereal with the highest amount of sugar per serving is Smacks, which is 53% sugar.
• Americans consume about ten pounds, or 160 bowls of cereal, per person each year. But America ranks only fourth in per capita cereal consumption. Ireland ranks first, England ranks second, and Australia ranks third. 49% of Americans start each morning with a bowl of cereal, 30% eat toast, 28% eat eggs, 28% have coffee, 17% have hot cereal and fewer than 10% have pancakes, sausage, bagels or french toast.(http://veg.ca/content/view/212/112/)
• a third of teenage boys drink at least three cans of soda pop per day.
• Soda is sold in 60 percent of all public and private middle schools and high schools nationwide, according to the National Soft Drink Association(http://www.mercola.com/2001/mar/10/soda_pop_dangers.htm)
• My method of thinking works 70% of the time, every time it works!
• There is a 90% chance I'll post more statistics

What to say what to say... I really don't feel like explaining why I haven't been on for ever. But I am uber excited with only 2 day of school left! Monday consists of movies, yearbook signing, and a practice ceremony thing. On Tuesday I graduate from Middle School. The Graduation Ceremony is in the morning, then we all head over to Bullwinkle's- YAY! Then we have our end of the year, totally free, only eighth graders dance! I'm looking forward to it. Then I leave for three weeks, one week in Quebec and Montreal, and two in Bentley College, Boston, Massachusetts for a government camp. Not that you care, I just am currently at a loss of words.
