Six Flags Choir Trip

Next week we are going to Six Flags for a choir competition. We will be singing "A City Called Heaven" and "Benidictus" which are two great songs to learn. I'm going with Dylan Shane, Brandon Shane, and Devin Peppers on a lot of the rides. First, we are going to ride the Batman or Superman then just go to different rides. We are going to arrive there by 10:00 or so and then do our performance. Then we will go on rides and check in every 2 hours. This trip is going to be pretty fun.

The Civil War

In Mr. Driemeier's History class we are learning about the Civil War and how it was the first modern war of its kind. I'm pretty excited that we finally get to learn about the Civil War since it's my favorite war to learn about. Most of the stuff that we go over in class about the Civil War is review for me but it's still interesting to learn about it. One thing that I think is interesting about the Civil War is the new muskets and bullets they used. The Minnie Ball was the number one bullet to use and was mass produced in both the North and South for the war. It could shoot to about 100 yards and was much more accurate than the plain iron ball they used in the Revolutionary War. The rifles are also very interesting because they had new designs and smooth bores which would make the bullet shoot more accurate and shoot farther. I am very anxious to get to the famous battles of the Civil War and hoping to learn more about them.

Motivational Reward

A reward that would really motivate me would be to take a trip to a different country to study the history and government. It would be educational which would give us a chance to go and the students would have a lot of fun. The students would pay a certain amount to go on the trip and then be there for at least 3 days or so. We could study the branches in their government and learn the ways they handle politics. We could also learn the history and birth of their country at their perspectives. We could also study their culture and their traditions. Then we could try and see what food they have there that makes America different from other countries.

Fishing Trip!

This weekend I'm going to Mark Twain Lake with my dad and my grandparents. I'm going to stay up there Friday afternoon until Sunday evening. On another note is was my birthday 5 days ago. So I'm going to use some of the money i got to buy a new fishing rod. My dad is also going to bring his boat and we will take it on the river to fish. Then we'll take it on the lake just to take a ride and fish in some of the coves. It was my grandpa's birthday yesterday so he bought a new fishing rod as well along with some tackle. Then I guess we will just have campfires and a barbecue Saturday night. This weekend will be pretty fun and my friend Jarrett Stover will want to go with me next time I go.
