We started to go over the States and Capitals for the future U.S. test. I only knew about 5 out of maybe 17 to 19 states given. So did everyone else just about. We also learned how to load a picture to our blogs. Trying to learn all of this stuff makes me think that Mr. Bruns is some kind of super-mega genius (and you are Mr. Bruns) <:D . Anyway, we started to learn more 'behind the scenes' info on the Millard South incident. We learned that he and a friend got suspended for tearing up the football field in a vehicle... and the person that suspended him was the vice principal that he shot and killed. He had said to his friend that he was going to 'get revenge on the teacher that suspended him'. Another topic we got into was the fact that Mr. Wagner is going to be deployed in February to go to Afghanistan. Although we didn't get into deep conversation about that topic. We then started talking about 9-11 and terrorists that are currently at large such as Osama Binladin and Sudaan Husain (I'm not sure if the last name is spelled right...) who was killed in either '06 or '07. Also realized in our conversation was the fact that the Haiti earthquake anniversary is 5 days away. We watched a video seeing how the rubble doesn't really look any different than it did a year ago. The reporter said that you can't go there and not feel sad. She also said that the people of Haiti realize that they aren't going anywhere and they are going to have to create and new life and start over with what they have. But the saddest thing is, she wonders why the people are still living like the way they were a week after the actual event. In other news, people are thinking that a very loud noise is the reason for the estimated 5,000 to come crashing down. They believed that the fireworks being displayed near where the birds were found may have startled the birds, especially with the sparks and the noise.
