The normal day


Before class Mr. Schick almost fell off the stool while trying to fix the projector.  While in class we finished the discussion about the questions that we started yesterday.  When we were talking it was about the same things as yesterday.  But when one person asked a question a very odd one the whole class went into it. I bet you’ll never guess what everyone was talking about.  I don’t want to talk about the discussion but I will any ways.  It was about the aids pandemic in Africa but it was about why people kept having sex.  My thoughts about when this happened where how does this always lead to sex and why would you assign this for homework when you have a group of immature 9th grader in the room.   Then out of the blue someone asks “You know dolphins have sex for fun too.”  After this I the person asked “Do dolphins have get aids.”  And then someone had to look it up of course.  Well I’m going to end it there because I have gone way over 150 words which is fine but I don’t know what else to say that’s not another 100 words of writing.  Good night everyone who is reading this and can’t wait to write another one.

During class today we discussed the homework from last night which was answering the 25 questions.  While during the discussion we went off on topic just about every question.  Most of it was about how it was important to us and then we talked about 9/11 stories.  The one that was important to me was how much oil we consume.  With the oil reserves we have now it would only last us 36 days if used about 20 million barrels per day all at once.  And if we used 4.4 million barrels per day then it would last us 165 days.  I wish one day we would run out of oil so then I could bike just about anywhere without the issue of cars killing me.  While we did all that Mr. Schick decided to give out some candy which wasn’t the greatest idea in the world while having some greedy kids in the room.  One of those kids was Jake who was trying to take every piece thrown by him.  In the end I think everyone had a piece and some had more.

            The two questions that mattered most to me were the current population of the world because this will affect the future and how many kids i will be allowed to have how many resources we will have.
The other is how much we import oil.  This one worries me because what are we going to do if oil runs out we will only have a months back up oil supply.

Illinois


Today in Human Geo. we learned about the state Illinois which is the largest populated state in the mid-west.  Chicago the state’s largest city has one of the busiest airports in the U.S.  The state nick name is the prairie state because it is all flat.  The city of Chicago has a population of about three million and the suburbs around the city have about the same.  That’s all I really remember from notes and I know this was all supposed to be about the notes so I’m sorry.  The funniest thing from Human Geo. today was when Mason didn’t even know what we were talking about.  After going home today I watched the DNC and found about many stories Governor Romney and now I’m here stuck with not knowing what to say.  Well after today I fell very tired and now I’m going to bed.  Good Night.

B day


The B day schedule why couldn’t I remember that this morning I thought as I went to band the right first mod class after going to the wrong one math.  I felt so embarrassed when it happened I knew it was a Tuesday but why was I on the Monday schedule.  Well it was probably because of all the homework over the weekend that made me think that it was Monday.  Yes that’s all I did this weekend I wrote for this class and Honors Earth science which probably a lot of people did homework this weekend.  After human geo I went to my two free mods and then to religion.  In religion we took a quiz and I felt that I missed a couple of questions on it.  The final class today was math and I understood the most part of it except for an equation.
I don’t remember the exact problem but blogger won't let me show it.  Later today I had academic team and set crew sadly I missed set crew because of the fun I was having in academic team.  Thanks Mr. Schick for the fun time and really hard questions that only one freshman could answer.  It was a lot of fun can’t wait to join speech and debate.
