This is my last blog of the year. I thought this class was rather enjoyable. Mr. Schick was easy to listen to because he's not a kind of teacher to say a boing lecture. He'll go off-topic, speak his mind. It's even easier when you enjoy the subject as well, which I do. I think history, European history especially, is really interesting and fascinating. All of the things that have happened all this time ago is still being used and still can be seen today. Hundreds or thousands of years after something like the Pieta was originally made. Some of these things people still haven't been able to recreate these masterpieces yet even with the super advanced technology that we have pretty easy access to. It's just incredible. Mr. Schick makes it even easier to learn and enjoy learning about these things. I'm going to legitimately miss this class next year. Thank you Mr. Schick for this great class and second semester. This is the end of my blog.

All we did in class today is review. That's it. That's all she wrote today. I mean I don't mind it or anything. It's an easy class day. This is the end of my post.

Today

We learned about Martin Luther. He wrote 95 objections of the Church known as "the 25 theses." The Church at the time was corrupt and the priests and monks were doing the exact things they told people not to do if they wanted to go to heaven like gambling and drinking too much. Mr. Schick apparently wanted to become a priest back in his high school days. He than learned that if you became a priest, you couldn't marry anyone which means you can't have kids. So he decided not to become a priest. This is the end of my post.

Today

I had a good day today. I don't care about the stress and all that. I had a good overall day and don't really feel like doing this. But I need to get a good grade. But yeah so this is my blog. I like Western Civ. and some other classes like Biology and Bible. Some of the kids are nuts but I don't care. This is the end of my post.

I don't know anymore.

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm never able to sit down for more than 10 seconds without being yelled at. I don't understand any of the stuff I learned in math, I'm not able to pay attention, My grades are falling because of this. I'm always running around and never get a chance to sit down and relax for more than a minute. And if I relax for too long, my Dad says, "All you do anymore is sit on that chair and play on your phone." which isn't true. My parents think I do MUCH less than I actually do. My life is extremely stressful and I just need a place to vent. I'm always worried about something. Sure I get to go to Florida and Coastal Carolina University to play baseball. That's awesome and one of the pros to being on US Elite. Trust me, I love baseball more than anyone, but if I say that, it feels like my dad doesn't believe me. He says he thinks the only reason I do workouts is for him. I do workouts for my self-benefit. To get bette...

Today in Western Civ. we did classwork. It was read pages 468-477 and answer question 1 and 3-5. I already did the questions so I'm already done. I don't know what else to write because we haven't done anything. This is the end of my post for today.
