This week I was very busy in school. For math Will signed me up for Alek's (Math Program). He signed me up for this because he wanted me to become more proficient in geometry. Also are class is staring to get ready for our mid-term on March 17. The mid-term is going to cover Algebra, Basic Derivates, Integrals, and U-Substitution. I feel very ready for my mid-term.

In English class this week we finished reading all of Act 1 from the play 12th Night by Shakespeare. Class mates acted out scenes from the play so we can get a better understanding of what is going on. I found acting out the scenes very helpful for me because I was able to get a better understanding of whats going on. I had a very good time acting out the scenes.

In Krista's class we worked on our thesis paper. I'm doing mine on food waste. My thesis is why is food wast such a big problem in the US and what are the consequences from it. From doing research on it I have a different view of food waste. I have been saving more of my food and frigerating it. Writing this paper has really changed me differently for the good. Our final paper is due March 1.

That is what we did this week. :D

Finally I was at school for this whole week. Sick free. YAY! This week in English class we did our Inquiry Essay on our topic. When I was writing out my essay, I was feeling good about it because I had so many examples from my book to help me answer my essential question. I feel very good about my first essay and my book did a good job answering my guiding question.

After our Inquiry Essay, our class is studying and analyzing the play the "12th Night" by William Shakespeare. I'm pretty stoked about this project and study because I have a very good understating of Shakespeare's writing style and story lines. I'm happy to read another play by him.

I have finally started reading my second book for my Inquiry Project. I am reading "Net Force #1", by Tom Clancy. This book is about cyber-terrorists who are trying to cause a war on a computer. I have not gotten to that part yet but there very close. I'm very excited to read this book. I'm all ready on page 120. This book has 372 pages total. I feel confident that I will get this book done in no time. That was my whole week.

This week in English our whole class worked on our book project. I have found a couple of people that I would like to interview about my topic. I'm planning to interview my cousin Dan who was a Seal Team 8 member. I think he will probably be a very good help for answering my essential question. I'm also planning to interview my aunt who is a college professor. I think I'm making good progress in class. :D
