This isn't good. I am not looking forward to the 230-point Constitution test tomorrow. Ohhh crap. I've been studying all day since I got home from ASB, and only stopped to eat and to write this. I finally memorized all the amendments and vocab, but still have some odd questions here and there. I have a Rowland test tomorrow too, which luckily is over chemistry, the one science thing I'm actually good at (I pretty much bomb science the rest of the time).
For the people who missed ASB Lit. today, we took the "Young Goodman Brown" Quiz and made-up all those missed Literary Term Tests. We also took down notes for "Young Goodman Brown" and summarized it. You need to read Poe's bio and "The Cask of Amontillado" for Tuesday, where you can, of course, expect a quiz over the material along with any make-up tests you may need to take.

Oh, and I memorized the amendments by changing the lyrics to Myra's "Miracles Happen" (how fitting), which is now renamed "Amendments Happen". Just thought I'd share that. =)
Haha nice way to memorize them!
if I remember right it really wasn't that hard
plus, i'm not exactly a history buff, so you should deff. be fine.
Thanks! It was pretty easy, just long. I missed three (Mr. Green saw me in the hallway and told me), so that's OK. I like pre-Revolutionary history mostly. I actually can't stand the World Wars and whatnot. Mr. Green once described the World Wars as a science instead of an art once the weapons became more advanced than the strategy. The first modern weapons were used in the Civil War, so pretty much anything around then and after I despise. Can't stand the Industrial Revolution either. I didn't know that much about the Constitution before his class either, so I was in pretty bad shape to begin with, but whatever. I'm just rambling. It's all over now anyway! =)
we're studying the Industrial Revolution in world history! what don't you like about it?
Well to start off, the was the loss of rural country. The Industrial Revolution marked the beginning of the end for American wilderness. National Park societies wouldn't be necessary today if it weren't for the Industrial Revolution.
The more primetive um, like, such as countries of South Africa and the um, like, such as other Asian countries who still rely on a mainly agricultural economy were outdone in ways no one had imagined. It caused a imbalance that has upset the world market through today, and continues to do so as Third World countries fall farther and farther behind.
The traditional economy of specialized artisans was completely and utterly obliterated by the modern factory. The speedy manufacturing process created a new supply of common, unoriginal items that fatally injured the artistic passion for unique pieces that was the heart and soul of the individual craftsman.
The Industrial Revolution shrank the world. Mountains were tall and oceans were deep. The simple pleasures once enjoyed by pre-industrial people disappeared along with a piece of human nature that was awed by the natural wonders of the land. But now with the use of modern technology, everything isn't quite as grand as it used to be.
hahaha i love the picture
and the stuff about his young wife
Ha, ha... "His young wife, Faith, with pink ribbons in her hair..." That story was SO disturbing!
