Year in Review

Nothing specifically has happened to me that's really interesting. I usually don't get involved in life changing trips.

The most interesting thing would probably be having teacher O as a teacher. Its cause he changed my perspective of school. In the past, usually i just burned through the day and blew off all the homework until it was almost too late. ( ya, i know its hard to believe but I'm unbelievably lazy when it comes to homework, or work in general). Teacher O is such a cool ole teacher and he makes learning fun. The class is loud and fun and we always learn tons. The best part is you don't have to worry about grades as long as you do your stuff. It makes school much easier to get through when you get something fun to do in the middle of the day. We do a ton of writing in that class. You don't have a choice because if you don't, you'll get your butt kicked by classmates, so it helped me with my laziness. I'm actually doing some of my homework at home now and its probably because of the 150 or so front and back pages of writing i did in teacher O's class.

Another thing teacher O did for me is make me much more aware of current events. we play it every week in his class for bonus points. Bonus points are good motivation because I am pretty competitive. So i started reading magazines. (not the fun ones either, REAL ONES. i know! my parents didn't think it would ever happen! I am now reading through National Geographic and Newsweek and The Economist and Time. They don't help that much but I kept doing it anyways. Now I'm in a habit and its a good habit and its basically thanks to having teacher O as a teacher.
