Today in class we talked more about A Message To Garcia and how you should just do your job when asked. We also looked at a PowerPoint on Excellence and why it is important. Mr. Schick showed us both new and old vocabulary and their definitions so we could copy them down. Then he told us about moral virtues and how when he was in Boston he found a woman's wallet and brought it up to the front counter so she could pick it up. He told us that he didn't have to do that and that he could have just taken the money and her ID and everything but that isn't the right thing to do. He then told us about a little diner he went to and how his daughter gave a man a cup of hot chocolate because he was standing in the rain playing with his daughter. Mr. Schick told us that his daughter didn't have to give him the hot chocolate but she did because it was a nice thing to do. Life is really about the little things and if the little things can make satisfy you than you are truly happy. I don't need much to brighten my day. For instance, I usually tell teachers good morning or nod to them and that usually brightens either mine or their day.

CAKE!! Today I brought in chocolate cake and everyone was afraid that there wasn't enough but there was actually more than enough and I had left overs. Everyone cut their own slice because Maddy couldn't figure out that if you just cut the piece and then stick the fork under it to act as a spatula, you could pick it up easily. It would be like picking up a box or a palette with a forklift. Then we took some notes and I didn't eat any cake because I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough. We took some notes and I forgot that I still had Mr. Schick's pen so I gave it back to him at the end of the day. Actually I didn't, I taped it to the door of his film studio with a nice little note. Hopefully he got his pen back because I'll probably end up using it again tomorrow. After taking some notes, many people asked questions and Mr. Schick was so proud because most of them were half decent. Not like, can fish drown? They were questions that were asked for an an...

Region and Cultural Location  Today's class started off just like it always does. We complain and ask to leave the room, and Mr. Schick declines us every time. Every class we spend ten minutes picking on each other and pointing out what isn't right; then we get to the lesson. I walked in with my bunny which Mr. Kimble named Junior, and sat him down on my lap. Junior is about two feet tall and light blue. He was being passed around the room because everyone wanted to hold him or feel him because he is really soft. then he came back to me and Mr. Schick grabbed him and put him in an empty desk in the front row. Then we got to work. We talked about region and cultural location and took notes. We wrote down the definitions and then did an activity in which you needed to know the states which took forever. Earlier in the day in Religion, Mr. Kimble smiled and laughed when he saw my bunny walk through the door. I set him on the ground and walked over to set my phone in his door cub...

Today was a very fun class because I got to finish my homework while Socrates graded his last few tests. Basically we all did our homework while he finished reading and correcting test essays. The only bad part was that I had a splitting headache and I felt nauseous for the whole class. I did not go up to the nurse however because I thought I could bear the pain. Then my side started to hurt and I was tempted to ask to go to the nurse. You know that feeling when you get lightheaded and your heart speeds up and you feel kind of sweaty. Well that's it! Except the room was already hot and we weren't really working so I pushed through it. It stinks though because I have Spanish next and my side pain is growing worse by the minute. I don't know if I feel bad because I'm sick or because of my side. Ten minutes left in class, should I ask, I don't know. It hurts when I walk so I'll just wait it out. I'll go to the nurse when I pass out on the floor. Which by my gue...
