USA

I would just first like to say that i don't like using Google drive, I think it gave my computer a virus. We had our group projects today.  My group had the USA.  I think we did i pretty good job.  I got to change the slides. We listened to Ben speak in his Chinese accent.  It was so funny, it made my day.

...

Mr. Schick wasn't in our first class.  Thursday is our long class and he didn't show up.  Until the end of the class.  We watched the rest of Part 3 in the movie.  We watched a slow motion car test car crash it was cool.  But when he got to class our substitute, yelled at Austin for not having a working computer.  He told Austin he would give him detention if he disturbed us while we were typing.  So Austin put his head down.  Then we talked about what US cars have to be able to do to be passed.  If the car isn't safe enough it can't drive.  Then, we learned that everything is a global company now.  After that i answered a question and it got us talking about new cars and that Americans want it.
