Today in class I looked and felt like death. Mr. Schick was extra funny today. He was making fun of all the Ravens fans because they were all complaining how Mike Tomlin got in the way of Jacoby Jones had to run in a different pattern so he wouldn't hit him. I think its funny how Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are getting fined and might lose a draft pick. We went over the power point and reviewed microfinance.

Today in class we ALL worked on a power point presentation about microfinance and microloans. Laura put her face in all the slides and everyone went nuts, and started yelling at her. Mr. Schick tried not to laugh while all of this was going on but somehow he resisted. It was very funny as he smiled than had a straight face over and over again.

Today in class we worked on the peace corps challenge I still have to get the worksheet from Mr. Schick and finish it. Mr. Lepp substituted, and it was a good time. I hope that everyone has a good weekend and that their plans for thanksgiving go well.

Today in class we all worked on the peace corps game. we got into our groups Nick, John, and I worked the entire class on it. They both showed me how to work the website, I still have to get the worksheet from Mr. Schick because John told me I needed one right before the bell rang.

Today in class we went over the test. Mr. Schick was not happy with our grades whatsoever because our class average was a 73. I did bad on the test because I wasn't there in class on Monday and I didn't get the notes but I didn't check his blog until the day of the test so it is my fault.  I will do better in class to get my grade back up to where it was.
