Last one

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 Hundreds or thousands of years after something like the Pieta was originally made.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.

2-hour delay day

Today in Western Civilization we didn't really do much other than get a paper back and finish a worksheet we were supposed to finish because we had a 2-hour delay. So, I will also talk about some of my day after school. The worksheet we got back was homework and I got a 100% on it. Although, the homework was only 8 points. But a 100% is a 100%. We also finished a worksheet we did Tuesday where we were the judge of a case back in the time of Hammurabi's Code. Then, we found out what Hammurabi actually put as his punishment. A lot of them had to do with putting someone to death or cutting something off of their body like an ear or hand. We also took notes but we didn't have much time for that so I really didn't get anything down on paper. After school I had practice for baseball. First, we did a jog around both turf fields twice which I hated because I don't have good endurance. Other than that the team split into infield and outfield. I play in the infield. All w...

Work day

Today in Western Civ. we worked on our project/presentation. We're supposed to go third on Thursday, but I don't know if my partner and I are going to be completely ready. But who cares right? My partner and I are leaving early tomorrow at 1:45 because we have a baseball game @ Calvert Hall and the bus leaves a 2:00. 15 minutes is enough to time to get ready for a game twice. I'm really excited for two reasons especially, the fact that it's going to be our first away game, and my uncle that I haven't gotten to see since last August is coming to see me play. This is the end of my post today.
