Most Interesting Part of This Class:
I liked learning about how people cover up the truth in teaching about history just to look good. Now, I know what really happened and it makes history more interesting. I also liked how brigs explained things from the previous day's readings cause otherwise I would probably not have understood what was goin on.

Most Boring/Useless Part of This Class: Probably trying to read all of the poems and stories and answering questions for the transdentental unit. Everything kinda just blended together and it is hard to remember things from that unit now.

Hardest I Laughed in This Class: Whenever Hish and Brigs would sing like indians or when brigs sang "Circle of Life." I think that I laughed so hard that I started crying.

Thing That I Learned That Will Be Most Useful to Know in the Real World: I think that it is interesting and important to look back to how our country began and where we are today. Some of our ideas and beliefs have changed over the years and now I know why.

Best Thing About Brigs as a Teacher: Never gets mad and is very understanding and helpful. He also makes me laugh atleast twice a day.

Thing Brigs Could do to Make This Class Better For Future Classes: I would offer more time to work on the make your mark project. I am sure that people would still procrastinate, but it's hard for people in sports and other activites to find time to get this project finished.

Week 5- Crazy Laws

In our own state of Illinois, a law requires a woman to call her male companion "master while on a date." This law is not invalid for married women. I can't believe that a law exists that does this. Maybe this would be okay hundreds of years ago, but I think this law needs an update!


This law is just plain weird. In Maryland, it is illegal to take a lion to the movies. Why would anyone even have access to a lion in the first place and why would they take it to a movie of all places???


In Carmel, New York, a man cannot be seen in public wearing pants and a jacket that don't match. Okay, first of all, the man could be colorblind. Second of all, who cares??


In Youngstown, Ohio, it is illegal to run out gas. What happens if you are in a traffic jam or a road is closed so you have to take the scenic route and you run out of gas? Can they really fine you for something as innocent as that??

These laws make me laugh a lot! They are soooooooooooooo crazy!

Week 4- What would i do with $5,000,000?!

If I had $5,000,000, I would be super pumped. I can't really think of anything that I need, but there I definatley things that I wouldn't mind having. First, I would donate at least a million of the money to charities such as Food for the Hungry and Operation Smile. Part of that million would also go to my church or missionaries. I would invest another million in the bank so that I could earn interest. I don't know how much money it would cost, but my parents 20th anniversary is in 5 days so I would use some of the money to send them on a cruise. The rest of the money would be spent on me probably. It would be really fun to take Ashley, Taylor, Kassi, Hannah, and myself on a trip around the world. We could shop at expensive world famous stores and eat fancy dinners. We would fly around on a private jet. The trip would end with a cruise somewhere in the carribean. I am guessing that there would still be some money left so I would just save it until I had a reason to use it.
