Exam Sheet

Fridays class was very beneficial. It gave us information we need to know for the Social Studies or Human Geo exam on Thursday next week. Thankfully all my teachers gave me a study guide but I just need the motivation to actually study them. I dont know what to think about the upcoming exams but I'd rather not think about them at all. The power point Mr. Schick made for us to study off of was short but it definitely gave us the proper information to be studying. I just pray for help next week.

Wild Wednesday

First and foremost HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. SCHICK!!!! I wrote that while holding down the shift key! Only because I forgot about caps LOCK. Today was crazy because every student at John Carroll was hoping for no school. It turns out we have school, a 2 hour hour delay. This was helpful because I slept in a little Monday and Tuesday so a 2 hour delay helped get me back on track. Today was fairly a good and it ended even better than it started. We played our big rivals in C. Milton Wright. We ended up beating them by a comfortable margin. This was a very exciting game and i'm very happy we game out with the win. Tomorrow is my best day in terms of scheduling so I'm looking forward to that. We don't have class tomorrow so I will talk to you again on Friday.

Sweater Friday

Today was the first day I wore the long sleeve sweater. I hate it. I really liked wearing the sweater vest but i cannot find it so I had to find an alternative. Also today was not a very good morning for a plethora of reason but I have very many tests today. The Human Geo test today was not very difficult. It was probably the easiest test I'll take today. I am also happy because now I have gotten through 2 of the 3 tests today. I just got my test back and I got a 100%!!! I am happy. It is very hard for me to write a blog about today's class. We are Mr. Schick's smartest section. GO SECTION 07!!

Post Title

Today was a semi productive day. It began with Math then Computer Support and so on. It was a busy morning due to the fact that I had two tests and another after Human Geography class. I am exciting for Earth Science to be over for two reasons. First is it will mean I would have survived my horrible Wednesdays and second because my basketball practice is canceled. It is canceled because my coach goes to Law School in the city and has his exams this week and yesterday we just ran around like chickens with our heads cut off. So smartly it was canceled until he is able make it back to school in time for our 3:30. The class today was semi productive because we went over Mr. Schick's semi complete power point. This caused some ruckus because everyone was complaining but it was fine with me. I am very happy that Duke beat Michigan yesterday!

Long Monday

Today was once again a slow and long and boring Monday. But what helped was a hilarious 1st mod class. *wink* *wink* Human Geography. I was a half hour late to school because I was feeling sick. Today was also game day. Little did I know that if your late on game day you are not allowed to play. That was interesting. We ended up losing but oh well. I walked into class and the first thing Mr. Schick says to me after asking me why I was late was to go see Mr. Maynard. I wasn't sure why but I went against my will. It turns out I had a shadow. I had no idea but I took him under my wing. We had a pretty good day. What was interesting to me was that he was from Pennsylvania and John Carroll is the only school he is looking at. he lives in a town that I had never heard of but Mr. Schick did. Mr. Schick told a very interesting story today about a homeless man back in Chicago.
