Today in Vegas... My Famous Uncle!

So today we lost our game pretty bad because we weren't playing like the team we truly are. I don't know if it was the pressure because of the college coaches or if it was because people on my team just didn't hydrate enough... idk. So I met my uncle and he is so funny! He knows so many famous people he is practically famous himself. Actually he is famous. He is a famous chef that has his own cooking show that Fox might pick up and he is working on publishing his own cook book! This man has Micheal Jordan's number in his phone! Anyways I have to go to sleep because I have a game in the morning... goodnight!

Today in Vegas... Its so hot!!!

So I don't really even know if we have class today but I'm gonna do a little blog just incase. So basically I'm, of course, at another soccer tourney. This time in Vegas! It is so hot here and I got off the plane with my coat on and I was dying the second I stepped outside! Hope you are having fun in school! Wish me luck these next few days!

Today in class... GREEK GODS (& GODDESSES)!!!!!!

Today in class we talked about the best part about Ancient Greece. Mr. Schick says he doesn't like this part and doesn't care for it but I find it the most interesting. I've always been interested in the way they used to believe in their gods. I personally just don't like how confusing it is with all the demigods and like who came from who and which siblings had kids with the other siblings. Thats the stuff that I don't like. And if you ask me, Mr. Schick seemed pretty into it when he was talking about it... but thats just my opinion.

Also, WEAR YOUR PJS INSIDE OUT TONIGHT AND PUT A SPOON UNDER YOUR PILLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i simply just want a single snow day this year

Today in class... Greece Again

Today in class we talked about Greece even more. Mr. Schick gave us some words to know so here they are:

Polis- fundamental political unit made up of a city adn the surroundign counrtyside
Monarchy- rule by a single person (usually king)
Aristocracy- rule by a small group of noble, rich, and land owning men
Aristocrats- a member of the ruling class
Oligarchy- wealthy groups who seized power (didn't like the current rule)
Tyrant- powerful person who took rule by appealing to the commoners for support

We also talked about some important people and rulers... Just remember 508 BCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats when the first democracy came into place

Today in class... More on Greece

Today in class we talked more about Greece.We talked more about Greece's geography and more on how it shaped their culture. In Greece you are only able to farm on about 20% of the land. The temperature is pretty okay there with it being in the 80s during the day and 40s at night. Their diet was pretty much just grapes, olives, and grains. These we also a big part of their economy and trade system because with the olives you could make olive oil and with the grapes you could make wine which were very popular things that you could only find in Greece.

Today in class... New Unit

Today in class we started to learn about Ancient Greece. We learned that the main civilizations were always near water: Egypt---Nile River
                               India----Indus River
                               China--Huang He River
                               Mesopotamia--- Tigris and Euphrates River
Also, Mediterranean means "middle of the earth". We basically just covered the basics today. Like we talked about some places we need to know on the map, the geography of Greece, and how that shaped their culture.

Today in class... Fly High Josh

So today in class all of the grades got called up to have a "meeting" type thing. They told us that sophmore Joshua Hamer had been in a really bad car accident and that we need to keep him in our thoughts and prayers. Then we all prayed as a group and went back to class. I also got a 97% on my test.

So it is after school now and we actually all got let out of school early. Um I don't know how to say this lightly but Josh passed earlier today. After we all found out no one could focus, not even the teachers so they decided to let us out of school early. This is also why I have changed the title of my blog.

Rest in peace Josh. You will be missed <3
