Everyone else practiced for the Canada test.
i didn't have to because i took it on either thursday or friday...i can't remember.
but i did anyway for good practice.
talked about the current events in japan.
i had heard from my dad that there were survivors found in the rubble after nine days of being trapped.
it was said that the rubble kept them warm because their bodies would heat the enclosed air around them. it had been very cold when they were trapped, so it was good that they were warm.
talked about the established no-fly zones, the attacks on Libya that the U.S. inflicted, and about the problems in general in the middle east.
NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Bombing continued for a while in Libya, the bombs being inflicted by the U.S.
Cease fire had been called on those bombings.
