Adventures in Geography

I don't know if I've complained about geography in my blog, but it hasn't been going well. Mr. Ballou is constantly unprepared, assigns us homework on stuff we haven't covered, tests us on things he says he won't test us on, and tries to be too creative in his lesson plans. He can't focus in one topic and can't control the class. It's pretty stressful when I'm trying to learn because it's not a learning-friendly environent. Plus, it's the only class where I can actually smell the smoke on the kids, so that sucks.

But today, we were finishing our posters on Africa (which I protested because I don't learn by doing posters and I can't learn from posters my peers have done because they're not thorough enough and the extravagantness of the poster distracts from the info, so it doesn't stick in my mind.). My group finished (I think), but it doesn't matter because they wre due today so we turned it in. Whatever. So Mr. Ballou was playing some song on his computer, and he had his iPod. So I took out my iPod and we tried to load my songs onto his computer, but it didn't work. But it was nice because we listened to The Who Live at Leeds while my iPod was connected to the computer. But everyone was getting pissed because they couldn't figure out how to get songs from my iPod onto the computer. Then we figured that the songs were encripted specially so it was impossible for us to do that. So we were sad, but then the bell rang and I left.

Having my iPod at school makes my day a lot better. In biology, after I finish my work, I listen to my iPod. After school, iPod. Running in PE, I think I should, but I don't know if Ms. Peisch would let me.

Estoy muy emocianada porque acabo de aprender progressive tense en espanol! Que chevere! Progressive tense sounds prettier than present tense. Which is prettier: Bailamos o Estamos bailando? (it means we are dancing) Estamos bailando, although longer, is just prettier. Especially if you use it a lot. Estoy escuchando los jovenes quien estan cantando muy fuerte.

yay! ttyl!
