Monday, 9-26-11

            Today at pub was just the usual. In English class we went over our new vocabulary words and until we actually fully learn the words, they're enigmas for us all. We revised our fairy tales that we all wrote rough drafts for which were written completely in first person. And in math was just as typical, a worksheet assignment on multiplying fractions. Also science we learned a very helpful formula to convert units into different units of time. In geography we had our states quiz where we had to spell the states name correctly and indentify where the state was on the map. Study hall is pretty self-explanatory. Lunch I wouldn’t know much about considering I refuse to eat school food… In reading class we read Flowers for Algernon, which was a pretty interesting story, really. I would recommend it to someone. In Business trends we finished the worksheet packet we had started which was over uniform codes for businesses and why we felt they needed to be a dress code or a uniform. And in PE, my favorite class of the day, we played soccer, which was pretty intense. But, the out of ordinary thing was that today for homecoming we could dress up like animals and show some school spirit. I found it interesting that quite a few people wore stuff to resemble zebras. That was pretty much the unordinary thing at pub.
 Also, in the world in Afghan there president was assassinated and there is a group trying to get rid of the extremists in Afghanistan the large group trying to attempt to get rid of the extremists are from Pakistan. The extremists did what they did because they didn’t agree with the former president of there country, obviously.  One has to wonder how many people are going to get involved in what’s going to happen. One also has to wonder why the people just up and assassinated the president. The world can be a very cruel place and we live in it.
Another interesting news story is that a bacterium called listeria has infected some cantaloupes and even watermelon. I researched this bacterium and on average 2,500 people in America get it. Of those 2,500 500 die… You wouldn’t know you had it even if you did. The symptoms are very similar to the flu. Except deadlier. Also, a different symptom that isn’t really related to the flu is the muscle weakness, which I suppose could be similar but still. So avoid cantaloupes and watermelon for a while… The best advice I could give you at this point.
