The Thanksgiving break is near and I can't wait to enjoy it! However, I still feel that it is unfair considering we only get 4 days off (including weekends). But public schools get 7 days off (whole week) from school! Anyway, its not like I can change anything. Once I got to class most of the kids still weren't there so I took this time to put my stuff into my locker and start breakfast. Unfortunately, the rest of the kids came by then and rushed to the basket (with breakfast). At 8:55 A.M my teacher told my class to head out for Social Studies. At first, it was really quiet because my teacher had a sore throat and couldn't talk much. But the closer it was to the end, the louder the kids got.

After Social Studies my class headed to the gym for P.E. Since half the kids in my class were in chorus the gym was also awfully quiet. Most kids decided to not be loud or talk because they noticed how the teacher was so droopy and exhausted from the pervious homeroom. Once warmups were finished my teacher told the class we were going to be playing a game called, "Bean Bag Bean". Just hearing the name makes me wonder, "Where do they create this names?". It seems pretty dumb to call a game "Bean Bag Bean". When I explain the game I'll explain why. So your seperated into two teams, then each team gets a row of bean bags on each side's wall. When she (teacher) blows the whistle, everyone has to try and grab a bean bag from the other side. 

Once you cross the half point line you can get tagged by someone from the other side. If they tag you, you have to sit down until someone tags you back into their side. After every bean bag is taken from one side back to the other the game ends and the side with no bean bags loses. This is what I am talking about when I say stupid names. Bean Bag Bean has nothing to do with running to the other side, has nothing to do with getting tagged, and nothing to do with the number of players on each time. The only relevance of the name is the fact that they have bean bags. I mean take "Dodgeball" for an example. Its a game where you "dodge balls". A good name of a game is when you get an idea of what your playing. If your playing a game where you tag people, you can't say, "Turtle Catch" because it has no connection to what it is about. I feel like I've made my point clear so I won't talk about it anymore.

Now I want to talk about some of the Google News. So I came across this brief story about a 30 year old submarine. Apparently, its gone missing for the past 6 days and still hasn't been found. Reports showing that many people are scared what may have happened to the 41 people on board. The story also explains how the relatives of those in the missing submarine are waiting by the edge of the sea for their loved ones. Along the fences they've put posters and pictures of those lost and pray that will will come back strong and healthy. Authorities say that the vessel only has a 7 to 8 day oxegen supply before it completely runs out. Great Britan has sent search parties in case any sign of the submarine has come to place.

Another story that I read was about Donald Trump "pardoning" his Turkey. At first I thought that it was really nice of him, and I still do. Especially when I read that the definition of pardon is "being forgiven". Now I know that the turkey probably hasn't done anything wrong but I guess that also means spare. So he technically spared the turkey from getting eaten. I feel like Trump is probably just eating the Turkey right now as we speak but that would be wrong, or is it? The turkey was called "Drumstick" which I think this pretty funny. I don't really want to explain why for those that haven't already figured out why because its kind of wrong, and I don't literally mean incorrect. More so, it doens't feel right". Anyway, thats it for today, until next time!
