Nero the Crazy

Today in western civilization I was actually in class today. We were supposed to watch a video but Mr. Schick’s computer decided to spaz for the 90% of the class. He ended up telling us two stories to pass time while his computer restarted. The first one was about a little 3 year old boy who kept slamming the stereo glass doors. Instead of young Bob Schick asking the little boy to not do that, he told the kid if he slammed another door, Mr. Schick would light him on fire. The next story included little young Martha. When Mr. Schick wasn't on the big screen making the next hit movie of the year, he was playing the role of Mr. Dad. One day he decided to dress young 2 month old Martha up in a dark blue onesie and take her to the grocery store. All the old ladies were in aw over her and kept asking what his name was, only to find out the he was a she. On the seventh grandma that asked when his name was, Mr. Schick said Omar, the grandmother was appalled and backed away slowly in fear. Those were the two stories of the day. Once his computer decided to work, we watched a video about the emperor that went crazy, Nero.

Last of Presentations

Today we finished all the presentations. Laura made Roman toast with fake honey, Grant bought sorbet, and Alexa made an incredible 3D map of Rome. Laura's food was good and I don't think I will get sick from it either. She went to Mars to get all her ingredients but sadly she didn't want to buy the real honey for a dollar more. Ryan ended up eating 6 1/2 pieces of the toast. Haggen-Dazs makes very good peach sorbet. Bella is bringing a dessert on Monday's class just because and we will start the new lesson, until then...

Presentations Day 2

Today, just like yesterday, we spent all class presenting the projects. We do not have class tomorrow so we will have to go into our Friday class time to finish the projects. I do not know how many more projects still have to be presented but it could take up all the class time on Friday. Whenever we finish presenting all of the projects we will continue our topic of Rome but more about the life style kind of. I'm really glad I presented first because I got it out of the way already, now my nerves are replaced with anxiousness while waiting for the grade, which I hope will come out soon. Well until Friday...

Presentation is Over

Today in class we started presenting our projects. My group presented first and I thought we did really well. The cake was terrible but we couldn’t help that, it was how they made it in Ancient Rome. The cookies weren’t as bad as the cake so that was a plus. After we presented Kappel’s group tried to present but none of their computers would work so they are going tomorrow. From how everything went today, the rest of the week will be spent presenting projects.

Test on Rome

Today we took our test on Rome. I think I did alright. Mr. Schick was really worried because the first class that took had a very low average. I think our class will definitely do a lot better, I hope. Today is the last day before spring break! I'm very excited because I get to sleep. Once we get back we will present our Rome projects and then move onto the next topic which is still on Rome. It's more about the gladiators and the kings, etc. Well, enjoy your break.
