blah

So far in class it's going pretty well because we went over our test and i didn't fail i got an 88%. And know were going over the Christpher Columbus day and it's history and stuff. Oh yeah and im really bored nothing out of the blue. We got a new student and for some reason we were all excited because he's like 6'11 or something like that and he's only a freshman and he's 14. It's kind of weird that i know all that about him. now were in groups and were researching topics that mr.schick gave us. And of course nobody wants me in there group im leaving this stupid school cause everybody hates me.

TESTS

Today in class we took a test on God Grew Tired of Us and i feel pretty confidant about it because he did let us study but i was really into the movie and every time i'm in to something i pay attention more and i'm like that all the time. We went over the answer and i'm still feeling pretty confidant. the test was not that hard but im really scared because i need a good grade on this because i can't efford too fail because im almost failing now but im super bored and the people reading my blog never ever ever ever ever comment and it's ok but i would like to here your what your have to say about it so bye.

today in class.........

today in class as we finished God grew tired of us we just kind of reflected on it i guess but the class got in groups and we had to research foundations and organizations that effect people around the world daily and we had to a number of things with it. The first thing was that we had to first research  a foundation or organization and i researched cleft lips and it was sad because my cousin had a cleft lip when she was born, but she died a few hours or so later i don't know because i never got meet or see her, but anyways we picked a foundation and then we had to write or type a short summary on it like people with cleft lips are born with a part of their lips flapped over i guess and it can't be undone because your flapped lip it like glued to you upper mouth i guess. But if people out there sponsor a child from the organization they can help pay for the child to get surgery on his or hers mouth and they use a type of plastic, so it's basically plastic surgery on your lips but any ways it looks like you never had a cleft lip when you were born.
