John Carroll Blogs

Well in all honesty I think I got everything right besides from questions on the last page of the test. It was so hard to remember the Articles even after studying and even reading them right before the test. Besides from that page though I think I did very well and I think my grade will still be ok because I remembered some of the answers but I believe on about 50% of them I guessed on because I didn't know which one it was.

Tomorrow I will have to take a government test for Western Civ. and honestly I am feeling pretty good about it because I know all of the material pretty well. The only thing I need to brush up on are definitely the Articles of Confederation and the Bill of Rights because it's hard to remember what order they come in and what each one grants towards the people. All in all though I think I am going to do pretty well on the test but that will be determined tomorrow.

Today in my blog I would like to go into further detail on how I think the 3rd amendment should be interpreted. See at the moment police officers have the authority to apprehend a citizens vehicle if they are engaged in a foot chase. Honestly I don't think that should happen because the officer would be taking the citizens property which is in violation of the right of privacy.

Honestly there is no difference from Monday or Tuesday because you still fell just as tired. Like seriously the amount of sleep just doesn't matter in the end because it is just hard to get back into the swing of things. Truthfully I hate when teachers give tests on a day back from the weekend as well because it is the worst due to the fact that everyone is getting back into the swing of things after a long weekend.

All I want to do in this blog is basically recap this entire week from my perspective starting from Monday. I got the feeling that my throat was starting to hurt and I was getting congestion. My gaming mouse and earbuds broke as well. On Tuesday my mother and I went out to replace my mouse because without it I couldn't play the game that I wanted to play. We wound up spending a total of $60 on that mouse WHICH IS A STUPID PRICE! But whatever it's fine (it wasn't my money anyway), on Wednesday I wake up with a fever and have to stay home from school with congestion and a sore throat. Thursday same thing. Then there is today which I was hoping would be fine but it's not because I have had 2 tests today and have one next mod so I'm just loving life so much right now. I also have a load of makeup work to do over the break which is a great way to you know not spend time relaxing like I wanted to but whatever I just need to hang on until a snowstorm which hopefully will b...

I wasn't in school today because I'm not allowed to go within 24 hours of a fever and I had one around 5 yesterday but so far today I haven't had a fever but dear God my throat has been hurting. Most likely I should be in school tomorrow to be faced with a huge amount of makeup work  >:(

I was not in school today because I had a fever over night and was sick throughout the day.

Oh Mondays the day of the week hated most. Well you see the only reason I don't like it is because I have to go back to school but YESTERDAY, OHHHHHH YESTERDAY HAD A SPECIAL REASON TO RECIEVE HATE. So I woke up with a sore throat as well as a stuffy nose and I went to school with it anyway because make up work is worse than going. I got through the day about ok even though I felt like garbage but when I got home man my day took a turn for the worst. My $35 gaming mouse that I have had for about 6 months decided to stop working and just lower its DPI past any reasonable use. Once that happened I was pretty peeved but I went to go listen to youtube. I was listening to a video for about 15 minutes and then the audio kept cutting out and guess what it was? Of course it was my earbuds breaking. Then I used my backup pair which guess what? When I was walking down the steps I dropped my phone and my earbuds broke. Literally in one day I lost about a value of $50-$60. It's the next day...

Finally to have an A on one of Mr. Schick's test. It feels like such an accomplishment because dear God it's not easy to say the least. I just feel great now because I think its only the 2nd time I've gotten an A on one of his test. I ever get like a 78-88 and I finally got a 90.  It honestly just feels really great to have it.

Today in Biology I had to take a test where like 90% of the material is stuff that we haven't learned and everybody in my class and I are super upset about it. Literally my grade is going to drop so low now because of this and I'm just ready to scream right now.

Today in Human Geo. was basically a bust because we didn't really do anything. There was no assignment posted so we kind of just did nothing the entire class. It was honestly really boring and not fun. We just had to sit there and do nothing the entire mod. Mr. Schick why did you leave us? We now have gotten information of a posted assignment about the constitution. The constitution consisted of 7 articles that explained how the United States Government would be made. This helped solve conflicts between states by sharing power among the houses of Congress and honestly stopped our nation from falling apart.

Today was not exactly what I would call a good or bad day because after staying up for the Superbowl last night I am just so tired and my brain just does not feel like working. I honestly think that when I took my math test today I might have done something stupid like write Spanish cause I'm just that tired. Anyway I'm going to go take a nap now cause I need some sleep.

Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year because it's the day of good commercials, food, and vibes. It honestly should be a good game because Atlanta has a very good offense with the Patriots having a decent offense and defense. I truthfully think Atlanta will win but as the saying goes any giving Sunday. I think it will be a good game to watch though and hopefully we get some snow here tomorrow as well to not have to go to school the day after the Super Bowl.

The Articles of Confederation was a document that united all the 13 colonies into a federal government and the document was drafted by the Second Continental Congress. The United States Constitution was a document made up of 7 different articles that described the way that the government should be formed. The Bill of Rights were the first 10 amendments that were made to the constitution and they explained personal freedoms, rights, and the government's power over the people. All these documents were important stepping stones in building the society that we have today and all of them helped us move on in the right direction.
