Finally, the President day break is over! I'm not actually happy about it but there is nothing I can do about it. For the first time in a while, the alarm clock rang and I turned it off without going to sleep as soon as I was done! Quietly, I put on my sweater before going to my dad's room. Their my sister was sleeping, so my instinct was to turn on the lights and wait for her to get up. By the time she did it was around 6:10 A.M. Yes! It took her that long just to wake up! Anyway, the both of us walked downstairs to the kitchen where we ate breakfast and got ready. My sister made a bet with me to see whether or not there was a "Stop, Drop, and Check". Let me explain what that it. Basically, at school the teachers sometimes have a "Stop, Drop, and Check" where they check to see if the students are wearing the correct uniform.
If they are then the kids get a free dress down the following day. Just to speed things up I'm going to skip to the "Homeroom" at school. Before "First Period" there is a "Homeroom" where kids eat breakfast and talk to their classmates. It's literally like a "Dinner" but shorter and without food. I mostly spend this period briefly talking to my friends about "Overwatch" (favorite game) and then getting ready for the day. Fortunately, today the school gave corn muffins and a carton of milk. Usually, the muffin is blueberry (for some reason I've started to not like blueberry items, blueberry yogurt is an exception because it's so good) and really easy to break. My friend gave me a small bouncy ball but I didn't want it. That was my Homeroom for you!
The first period was Social Studies and the teacher said that today was Malcolm X's 54th anniversary (assassination not birthday). To be completely honest I wasn't very interested in it. Martin Luther King Jr was a much better "role model" or "important" person. His approach was towards non-violence and followed Mahatma Gandhi's teachings. The funny thing is, both of these "leaders" had a type of inspiration. Obviously, you already know Martin Luther King's Inspiration but Malcolm X's was Muhammad Ali. In my opinion, Non-Violence is a much better approach towards things. Malcolm X used violence and really wanted to make the white people know that blacks or "negroes" weren't scared of them at all. Something that my Social Studies teacher really irritated me about was how we had a quiz!
Now you may be thinking that Rinchen is just being lazy and everything. Well... I'm NOT! This man tells us that we have a quiz yet he barely ever goes into the textbook. I swear he's been talking about something in the textbook once this whole month! Literally almost every day we go on about present events and briefly touch these amazing Black Americans. I'm just kidding guys, I don't really blame him for anything considering how he's been trying to make this whole experience fun for us teachers. However, I can see why other schools have fired him. Our's lets him talk about whatever he wants as long as it sticks to the curriculum (it doesn't). Before I finish this paragraph I want to talk about Health. During Health there was a substitute because the regular teacher had to go to a wedding.
The Social Studies part was all a joke so there is no need to make the teacher seem bad.

That doesn't mean we learned nothing. The substitue put on a movie called, "Food Inc" that talks about real like food corporations that handle "Poultry, Pork, and other types of meat" (also corn). So far, my class has finished the pultry part of the video and are disgusted by how the chickens are raised! They literally dump the chickens and send them off to a farm. Then once they are grown enough (48 days) workers come at around midnight to take them (violently). It usually resorts to just grabbing by the feet which is still pretty bad, unfortunately one of the workers even kicked the chicken so it would go inside the cage. I put this in the Google News section because technically people around the world are still talking about this. Something has to be done to these food corporations!
