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.

Happy Thanksgiving

I was not in class today.

Crazy Day

Today started with the regular chaos that happens on Monday mornings . Tired, Groggy, Slow, Boring. Today had the same issues but today was a very demanding day of a student athlete. It involved having to give your extremely important research paper, worth alot of points, into Mr. Perry. This is a very stressful thing to deal with due to the fact that there is alot of requirements that come with this. Anyhow despite the busy schedule we had another basketball game.We won by the way. In class, it was extremely hectic. We all worked on the same power point or Google Presentation and it was mad chaos. Some people worked diligently but others were just there to make those doing the work furious. HMM dylan HMMM.  It was ugly in the beginning but it picked up towards the end and eventually it was a success. Mr. Schick has been working hard on the Variety Show and so I am going on Wednesday to see this amazing show first hand!

Lovely Leppert

I was so happy to see that Mr. Leppert is our sub for class today. He is really nice and an awesome dude. With Mr. Schick out of class today we continued to work on our Peace Corps Challenge and annoying worksheet. I have done the Peace Corps Challenge game about three times and I try to make different decisions every time time to please Gwafa. I think the fact that they give you a certification paper at the end of the game is just hilarious. This day is a little slow but it is a busy day that I so for have gotten alot of work done in. Like I said I LOVE MR. LEPPERT!!!
