Hi Mr. Schick!

Today day I took a test on Populatipn Pyramids, I didn't do as well as I intended to but, oh well. I tried really hard.
See you Wednesday!

Still Not in School.... BUT blogging.

Howdy Mr. Schick

I still was not in school but you probably know that because you take attendance in the beginning of every class, and plus I know you already miss me! Well, IT SNOWED where I am. Its freezing outside and the bad part is my parents want to hike but I'm in a boot! I can't do anything with this thing on my leg! Well, I will see you Monday!
I hope you have a great weekend!

Thursday- I was not at school, BUT, I'm still blogging.

HI MR. SCHICK!

I wasn't in school today but I felt the need to blog just so I won't get points taken off. I am on the Skyline Drive at Skyland Resort with my family celebrating my parent's 32 year anniversary. I will be back on Monday! Can't wait to be back in school and at sea level... The air is to thin up here!
Well have a great day!
