Edina Hockey and stuff

I was at the game on Wednesday and it was pretty exciting. Now next week we get to miss a lot of Thursday for a eleven o'clock game. I might go down on Friday to and watch some of the day games if my schedule allows. I missed third period and out today because my hockey team had our regional tournament and if we win on Sunday i get to miss the Friday after the next for our state tournament. I really enjoy the movie we watched this week and im a little disapointed i missed the ending. I started to see some connections to the Odessey on thursday. when i left after second hour i came to turn in my paper but the other teacher was in there teaching.

The kid who climbed Everest

then one day a couple years later Bear heard an old friend from the army was setting up an expedition. he was sure he wanted to go because it had been his dream since chikdhood and he had always wanted to try. once he made his descion Bear found out who else was going Mick, Neil and Geoffrey would accompany him up the mountian. the next months were spent training rigorusly each day and trying to find a sponser to cover the cost of over twenty three thousand dollars. this was proving harder than Bear expected. After being turned down hundreds of times Bear was begining to think he would never find anyone to sponser him. Then one day on his run to work he passed a building with everest in its name. he asked they accepted now Bear was good to go.

Fridays class

I like the format of the essay even though i dont like essays. i also like it when we get work time in class because the i dont have to do as much as homework. on friday i got almost two paragraphs finished so now i just have to type them. it is also nice when we can get the computer lab so i can just type it on the spot and be finished. i was glad you let me take that quiz because it would have been hard to recover my grade from that.

The kid who climbed Everest

In the begining of the book Bear is taking about his like prior to the climb. He was in the army and suffered an accident while parachueting and broke his back pretty badly. it was a miricle that he recovered fully and so at that point he left the military and got a job. his like long passion was the outdoors he loved hiking, climbing, camping and anthing else that could get him outside and active. so he was not to keen of his new job an a office. Also his dream since he was a child was to climb Everest he had a poster in his room that he used to stare at and day dream about climbing Everst.

The Giant Quiz

i thought it was a little unfair with the time restrictions we had. seeing as the majority of the class took about thirty five minutes to finish the little quiz having a twenty question quiz with only fifty five minutes to finsish seems a little unreasonable. also once i turned mine in i noticed alot of people were writing paragraphs were as i just put a clear simple sentance or two. I think next class we should have a half an hour to look over and revise what we finished. My outside reading book came yesterday and it looks interesting. its about bear Grylls climbing everest at the age of 23.
