Grandparents Day....... Rant........

Today in class was Grandparent's Day, which was a lovely day for grandparents and grandchildren. Unfortunately my grandparents could not attend due to "work" being done on their home. I was sad all day today because it was another day reminding me of how non involved my grandparents are. I'm used to it but I really wanted to show them the plaque outside the main office with all the freshman who got FIRST HONORS because my name is on that list. Then having to go home and write two essays that were due tomorrow and friend drama, my Thursday was peachy. But from this weekend on I will be at the beach every weekend until summer and then I will be down there for weeks at a time. Over all class was good today, yet depressing.

*********Excuse my rant I am just very upset**************

Rome Projects

Today in class we started our Rome projects, and me and Trish are doing two projects. We are writing two diaries and a song. The diaries will be about a plebeian girl and boy who get married and describe their daily lives. The song is about Rome, and we are going to perform it in front of the class.  

Baltimore Riots....

Today in class we discussed the riots in Baltimore, and Mr. Schick showed us a song that someone wrote 40 years ago that describes perfectly what is going on. The riots are really making me upset and a little angry. It makes me upset seeing how they are destroying Baltimore City. They are destroying their town!! When people call them protesters it makes me angry, because this is not protesting!! Setting cars on fire, severely injuring people, looting stores, burning buildings, is not protesting. This is very wrong, and they need to stop. The National Guard can not step in soon enough. They are putting people in danger, and people do not even feel safe in their home town!! WE ARE IN THE NEWS IN IRELAND AND KHLOE KARDASHIAN HAS POSTED ON INSTaGRAM "PRAY FOR BALTIMORE".  Tons of celebrities are acknowledging our city, this is how bad it is. This has to stop, people are in danger. I'm praying for peace in Baltimore City. I mean the Archdiocese had to close schools. (Mercy, Curley, Calvert Hall, IND, NDP, and Catholic High) These riots are putting education on hold. We need to stop these riots. 

                                                                                         

Rome Project

Today in class we talked about our rome project. Me and Trish are going to write a song about Rome to Royals and perform it in front of the class. 

Munchkins And Chi-Cago!

Today in class we went over Chi-cago's "When in Rome" rap and discussed it and went into more detail. Veronica brought in three boxes of munchkins which were really yummy so thank you Veronica! :) Then Mr. Schick talked to us about how his daughter came back into the US last night! Overall, today was a pretty good class!

Essay Results! :D

Today in the beginning of class we got some free time while Mr. Schick finished grading our papers. I appreciated the free time and I was happy when I got our paper back. My group with Trish, Rosemary, and we got a 91!! I was so happy!!

When in Rome come see Chi-Cago!

Today's class literally made my day and whole week. We started Rome and in the middle of the power point, Ms. Jane calls the classroom. Jayla answers it and tells Mr. Schick his guest is here, so he gets his guest. A few minutes later Mr. Schick appears in a Chicago Bear sweatshirt wearing the hood and black sunglasses and he decided to rap to us on Rome. It honestly made my day I laughed so hard when "In Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome"

Free Mod!! :D

Today in class we had a free mod because our section is a day ahead of everyone else.

Roman Goddesses and Visum!

Today in class we didn't do much, Mr. Schick informed us that we will be doing a Rome project. I'm excited for it because we get to choose what we do, which makes it more enjoyable. I'm going to do a project with Carson, Kendall, and Veronica. We are going to do a Rome version of "The View" and dress up as Roman goddesses. Im really looking forward to starting the project! 

The Allegory of the Cave... ooh ahh!

Today in class we watched an animated film about The Allegory of the Cave by Plato. The video was odd at first and I did not understand it that well until we discussed it and then got severely off topic. Overall it was about how you know what you see and if you have to think a certain way and don't question what is you will never learn to think for yourself and build your own ideas. You will have certain people who will break out and think for themselves. 

Reviewing the Test!

Today in class we got back our Ancient Greece tests, and I got a 98 on mine so I got one wrong. I was so mad to see that the question I got wrong was the one that had nothing to do with Ancient Greece but then I had to be happy because then that proved that I know my Ancient Greece! So pros and cons on getting that question wrong! 

Test Results and I Am Going To Teach :D

I got a 98 on my Ancient Greece test! Each question was worth two points and I only got one wrong!! I was so happy! Out of the three sections that took the test I got the highest score out of the three sections that took it!!! :D Also when we get back from break I will teach the class about Pompeii! I'm excited because I love Pompeii and I think the class will enjoy learning about it

Ancient Greece Test and Sweet Sweet Easter Break! :D

Today in class we took our Ancient Greece test and handed in our essays. I thought the test was easy, I studied well and I remember dates easily. I think I might have got one-three wrong at the most. I had two/three questions that stumped me, but over all I think did well. I am really excited for spring break! I can not wait to sleep in and see my family!
