Test Day

Today we took our test. I thought the multiple choice questions were pretty easy. On the other hand, I feel like the essay questions gave me the bigger trouble out of the test. I'm hoping that the information I included in the essays were good enough to get me at least nine points on them. If not, at least eight. I do think I could've prepared myself a little better for the essay questions sine Mr. Schick did tell us what they would be on, so I'm a little mad at myself for that. I also got the paper back on how me and Sam did on our presentation. Mr. Schick said that the information we had on our PowerPoint were very similar to his PowerPoint. To be honest, that's true. BUT there is not much information to look at about Cleisthenes and Isagoras apart from the things Mr. Schick had in his PowerPoint. And I also agree that the vote we had did get a little out of hand, but what else would've happened? The class got way to crazy doing it, and Sam tried to explain how to come up and what to do, but after one person went, everything just got insane. I don't really think we could've gotten a hold on the class to get organized.

So Mr. Schick's Apparently Pregnant

I'm concerned. Someone please help. I'm no doctor, but Mr. Schick has an umbilical hernia, which sounds painful and really concerning to me at least. Belle had asked if he was pregnant, so now this is going to be joke. If he actually is pregnant, I was to know why I was lied too. I thought males couldn't be pregnant. I don't want to get pregnant. This all concerns me so here's the actual definition of an umbilical hernia: An  umbilical hernia  is a health condition where the  abdominal wall  behind the  navel  is damaged. It may cause the navel to bulge outwards—the bulge consisting of abdominal fat from the  greater momentum  or occasionally parts of the  small intestine . The bulge can often be pressed back through the hole in the abdominal wall, and may "pop out" when coughing or otherwise acting to increase  intra-abdominal pressure . Treatment is surgical, and surgery may be performed for cosmetic as well as health-related reasons...

Presentation Day #1

Today we had shortened mods because we had a mental health assembly. So, with the class only being forty-five minutes long, we only got through one presentation. It took ten minutes to get prepared to start presenting and then ten minutes to get the first project setup and ready to go. I thought that their project was pretty good. I just didn't wanna eat any food because I was not hungry and as of late my stomach is extremely sensitive. I don't know if tomorrow will be the day Sam and I get to present because we were listed as to go fourth, but Katie and Grace had food so they got pushed to second and we got pushed down to fifth. It's not like I care when we get present, as long as we get to go, I'll be fine. There's three other groups ahead of us, so we will most likely go Tuesday, but we could go tomorrow depending on how fast some of these projects go.
