Today we went over the test. I got an 88 which isn't bad. Mr. Schick is going to be out for two weeks for surgery an a body part we don't know about. I think it's either his knee, spleen, or his arm. I didn't choose any of them for a specific reason other than his knee because as you get older your joints start to wear down. That's at least what happened to my Dad, but he played major league baseball. We're going to have his class 8 times in the two weeks he's out. He has already set up work for us to do in the days he's out. This is the end of my post.

Finally, the weekend. All I remember from class was the test and that it was easy. Spring Break's finally here and I don't really want to think about school. I finally mowed the entire lawn. I know it's not a big accomplishment but I don't care. To me it is. We played at St. Paul's Friday. We lost. I don't care because it's not a conference game. We still didn't do good at all. My friend plays for their Varsity team. He's not good, so that tells you a lot about their baseball team. This is the end of my blog.

We reviewed for the test tomorrow. The test will be 40 questions long. Fortunately, all of the questions will be multiple choice. I also haven't gotten below a 90% on any of his quizzes or tests. The lowest I've gotten is a 94%. I studied a lot tonight and I think I'm ready. I have a baseball game against St. Paul's tomorrow. At least I think it's against St. Paul. All I'm positive about is that it's an away game and we should win by more than 10 runs in my opinion. St. Paul's doesn't have a good baseball team. A friend of mine (Sophomore at St. Paul's) plays for their Varsity team. I played with him in the summer. He may have been the worst on the team though which says something about St. Paul's baseball program especially compared to ours. Baseball should be one of the best sports at John Carroll in a few years. If not, next year. This is the end of my blog.

I wasn't in class because i had a baseball game.

We worked in the book again. We did questions in both section 4 and 5. I don't have any because I couldn't find any answers by the time the class ended. I had a baseball game today. I still can't play because I hurt my elbow. We lost 12-4 to Mt. St. Joe's. They're not as good as people make them out to be, but they're better than Gilman, Curley, and Calvert Hall. I don't think they're quite as good as Loyola. We lost to Loyola 7-1 but they actually got more than 6 hits. they had at least 10 hits against us. This is the end of my post for today.

I don't remember what we did in class unless that was the day that Elpris and Athan did their rap/presentation on Greece. I had practice today. Still can't participate much because my elbow still hurts but I was able to field ground balls and run some. My coach came over today. His name is Jack. My dad and him really get along which isn't surprising. They both coach baseball and both coach at John Carroll. This is the end of my blog.

I have a lot of homework. I don't remember much from class other than the rap that Elpris and Athan. I'm having a tough time at home, I'm having anxiety over everything and especially grades, and I don't want to go to school tomorrow or ever again. I'm just saying all of this to get it off my chest. I don't care if you read this. If you do, cool. If you don't, well then it doesn't matter what I say right now. This is the end of my post for today.

More facts. Here is what I wrote down: .Min Idea- Cultural Interaction .Why it matters- Set lasting standards in many different things that are still influential today .Terms and Names- Terms                            Names                                 direct democracy          Peloponnesian War                                 classical art                   philosopher                                 tragedy                         Socrates                           ...

Today in Western Civ. three more groups went. One made food which I didn't have because I'm allergic to nuts in general. Another group  did the Olympics and I think my partner and I did better than the group that went. The last group (this group went first) did the Greek Gods and Goddesses which I though was kind of interesting. This is all we did during class. This is the end of my post.
