went over our new map capitals and countries. Central America was really easy, also being in Spanish, and also just filling in the same maps recently in that class. mr. bruns said that all of these maps combined will be easier than Europe, and if i nailed the Europe test, i think im good.
talked about how some companies are copying the "Doodle Jump" idea, and the company for Doodle Jump is sueing for copyright purposes.
talked about Elizabeth Taylor, who died recently at age 79 from congestive heart failure. my grandpa died of the same thing, except my grandpa was 86.
kept talking about the Gidhafi problem and how we're saying that we "aren't trying to bomb Gidhafi or start a war", blah blah blah. i think it's kinda late because we kinda, oh i dont know, ALREADY BOMBED THEM AND THEY ARE RATHER TORKED OFF ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!
anyway, we are going to have a project next week about pollution and the bp oil spill and other problems in the world.
we are so dependent on oil, it's almost unhealthy. we're going to run out eventually, which will be bad, it's bad for the environment, and we're basically killing our Earth by relying on it so much.
went over more blog discussions and im not sure WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice thing is we don't have an assigned blog this week so im good.
apparently, Kayla didn't know who Saddam Hussein was, so we had to explain it to her.
Kayla, and somebody else, did the invasion of Kuwait.
iraq claimed kuwait as part of it's own country.
great britain and france ended up taking over the area of iraq and iran and afghanistan.
talked about something called "Operation Desert Shield".
the U.S. president at the time of these events was George Herbert Walker Bush.
Time To Go!!!!!!!!!! bye.
