Tuesday May 14

Today I had Philosophy for two hours and English for two hours and Music for two hours.  With everything doubled it felt like a long day.  But English was fun because we started reading about a pair of twins visiting their grandma and grandpa.  Some of the British English is hard to understand.  For example, a flat is an apartment and trousers are pants!  Luckily I can understand most of the text in our book.

In Philosophy, we had a substitute.  I got out my German book and started to read.  After one chapter, I looked up and saw what looked like four leaved clovers with names in them drawn on the whiteboard.  I asked my friend Deniz what they were for and he said if one of us made the teacher angry, she would write our name in one of the leaves.  It didn't seem to be effective because several people had their names on the board more than twice!

Last was music where we continued from last week working in our groups to make a radio station with a topic of our choice.  My groups topic was children and how they get, spend and divide money.  I wrote a few sentences on how most children in Idaho do just that.  I got it done right before the end of school and gave it to my group to fit into our radio station.  I am not sure what this project has to do with music but it is still fun.
