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.

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...
