A Sad Day for Everyone

Today we were informed that the great Michael Doglas has passed. Mr. Schick was exempt from school yesterday because he was giving his dog the last and best day of his life. Mr. Schick gave up his whole day to be at his dog's side. He played with him and fed him ham and hot dogs and gave him the best last hours of his life. Finally Mr. Schick said his farewells and they both parted. Then we continued to talk about something but nobody really payed any attention because we were all so hung up on Michael Doglas and his passing. Afterwards we looked at pictures of Michael Doglas and some of the girls in the class even cried. Then Mr. Schick told us that he doesn't buy dogs and that him and his wife only take in mutts. He said he believes that another dog will one day wander onto his property like Michael Doglas did, and he will take him in too. Somebody asked how old he was, Mr. Schick said he had no clue because he wandered up to their house probably around the age of five; Mr. Schick estimated him to be about 12. He told us about Michael's story and how he came to be his dog and it was touching. After that, some girls in the class told some stories about loved ones who passed; dogs and chickens who faced tragic deaths. Then we all couldn't stop thinking about sad things. Finally Syd the Sloth said out of nowhere, "Have you ever thought that like, wherever we go when we die, that's where we will be forever." Then the whole class stared at her in confusion thinking, why did you feel the need to say that? Then class ended and we headed out... all of us thinking about Mr. Schick's loss and most of us keeping him and his family and Michael Doglas in our prayers.

            A Message to Garcia is a story that shows that you should just do your job when asked without making an excuse. Elbert Hubbard is basically saying that when you are asked to complete a certain task, don't backtalk or give sass, just do it. I think that he is right that you should do something when you are asked. I disagree with him when he says that he wants to "kick them with a boot" though. I think that you should just encourage them and get them motivated to do their job. If they fail to obey your orders then fire them. When they gather their things to leave, just tell them, "good luck getting a job when you refuse to work".             I think that you should be like Rowan. Rowan had to sneak behind enemy lines in Cuba to complete a risky job, to deliver a letter to the general. He didn't refuse, give up, or even give an excuse. He simply accepted the mission and went to work. Now a man that obeys an order to go behind enemy lines and risk h

Test Grade Finalized As of today, I officially got my first A on a human geo test. I know whoever is reading this is probably like wow it took long enough and yes, it did. I finally got an A on one of his tests instead of getting a thirty percent or a forty. I actually think that my highest was a sixty-nine and now this is my highest. I was actually really glad too because it raised my grade up and now I have all B-ees and two A-s I know that isn't good but I actually have really high B-ees. I am working really hard because I have to raise my gpa. Anyway, I got a ninety-two, not a high A, but an A. Basically we just went over the test during class and that will help for our midterm review and eventually the midterm.

It appears that I have forgotten to write my blog Friday or Saturday. Now I have no excuse and Socrates is probably shocked. Friday we talked about two maps and how they were different and which one was correct and which was incorrect. Then we watched a little film where people were trying to sell maps to people in the White House. It was all fake of course, then we continued to talk about the two maps. Class was mainly about the maps, except for the part in which the girls complained that it was too hot. The Bel Air versus John Carroll game was really fun too. The only thing was I didn't know if I wanted to be at the top of the bleachers or the bottom. If you look at it, if you sit at the top and the structure collapses you have the longest drop. But if you are at the bottom and somebody falls it is human dominoes and you get squished into a pancake. I decided to stand somewhere in the middle and I told my friends if this goes down like dominoes then jump and we will see what happ
