Same as Always

Today we talked about why there are twenty four hours in a day and sixty minutes in an hour. Then we dove a little deeper and discussed why there were sixty seconds in a minute. We then talked about if we thought the world should run on just one time schedule. Many of us thought it was a great idea while others slowly lost it. Some of the problems you would have if you did this is if it were the same time all around the world, it could be nine at night and time to go to bed but the sun could be at its highest point in the sky. It wouldn't work due to the earth's rotation. Then some of the class talked about weird theories and it both blew our minds and fried our brains at the same time. Then we continued on and discussed more while our brains slowly cooked like corn kernels in a microwave just waiting to pop at any given second. Then Faith said she remembered reading a quote from somewhere that said something like, "right now you will be the youngest you have ever been and the oldest you will ever be at the same time." Oh, and I almost forgot... Ellie had a shadow named Autumn that Mr. Schick called Fall; why? I don't know, but he did. Then we had some laughs and took notes. I don't think anybody in the class took notes today though because our brains were so destroyed from the previous discussion. Honestly it felt as though someone grabbed my brain and placed it in a blender on full speed for two minutes and then put it back into my head. Just saying. Then class came to an end and I loped out of class with the biggest headache; thanks guys!

            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
