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.

The Long Class

Every Thursday, we have a Human Geo class that is two mods long.  It is over an hour long and some days we don't even get breaks.  Yesterday Mr. Schick's sound wasn't working so the entire first mod of Human Geo, we talked about the notes we took and I did research on Twinkies.  Hostess is going out of business  and we were having a class discussion on if Twinkies can  last for a long time and if so how long can they last. I found a website on it but it's only a myth.

New Movie

The last test we took I got an 90% on it. It was on world leaders and where places were located.   I got the bell ring. Then we started a new movie.  It's about China and money.  How the America jobs are being taken away and given to people that can do them faster and with less pay. Did you know that in China some woman work for around 1-2 dollars a day.  Men work for 3-4 dollars a day, that comes out to about 600 dollars a year.  How does someone live on only 600 dollars a year.  I probably spend 600 dollars a year and I don't even work.  Even when I babysit I make more money than that.
