-i know this is my second blog today and i think I'm done with my fillers actually. even thou there were only like two of them. but still. so today i ran a marathon almost. the stupid people from Vern's wouldn't give my fries that i ordered at 11:45 and was told they would be done in 5 minutes. i got them at 12:05 our entry bell rings at around 12:00 to come back to school from lunch. and i don't know if you know how far away Vern's is from our school, but, on foot it is actually quite lengthy. i literally was running as fast as i could, slipped and almost fell three times. barged the classroom with fries and pop in my hand. and a fat jacket on my back felt like idiot, but i still made it on time, from Vern's to school in two minutes. so anyways i think in my next blog i am going to start explaining the play Othello and you know just like giving you guys a summary of the book. but in this blog i think i will introduce the characters.

so here you go

  1. -Othello 
  2. -Desdemona 
  3. -Iago 
  4. -Micheal Cassio
  5. -Emilia
  6. -Roderigo
  7. -Bianca
  8. -Brabantio
  9. -Duke of Venice
  10. -Montano
  11. -Lodovico
  12. -Graziano
  13. -Clown


those are the character that are through out the book. i only know who they are because I've read ahead a little just so that in class i understand it better. and don't feel dumb. so see you next time, when i let the summaries begin(I'm not going to do the whole book summary in one go)

again moving away from my filler blogs, i just don't want to forget what i was going to write. so yesterday i had a science quiz. i only got like 20 minutes of studying, and we had to know what all the cells organs did in a animal and plant cell. i thought i was going to fail. but i guess i surprised myself. guess what i got? give up, ok , ill tell you i got 100%. i was so happy. i was like yaaaaaaaaaaaay!. oh and today wasn't a very good day for me. first i had a social quiz on everything i learned so far in social. i didn't do so bad on the multiple choice question. but what just killed me was written response. the reason i think i did so bad was because 1. i didn't know how to relate the two together according to my analysis of the two sources we were given to analyze 2. I'm the kind of guy that need to be isolated with no noise to think and i have to be chill(coldish), and i just couldn't focus when i was analyzing the sources. and the fact that i couldn't pick out the fact that Keynes and Friedman economics were in the sources, i mean if you just plain out told me that this is Keynes and this is Friedman i would have argued the shit out of that thing. i walked out of that computer lab with steam coming out of my ears. i was so angry.  from now on I'm actually going to get into the habit of studying.

so just real quickly moving away from my fillers to get a higher blog count. plus the fact that i don't want to forget what i was going to write. so today wasn't so bad actually, went to school. i read an interesting part of the play Othello. but like i said in earlier blogs ill save that for later. so anyways after i walked into soc class today i found out i have a quiz tomorrow. yay T_T. i was thinking in my head "omg, why now, if i don't study I'm going to fail". but then he gave us the concepts that we needed to know for the quiz. i believe its about 15 questions long. along with one short answer question. he gave us a hint about the short answer. so i am happy about that. he is going to give us to people's perspectives and we have to write about one or both. what I'm thinking is it is just going to be a argument of what we think is better or who is right.(referring to Keynes and Friedman's theory of the economy style so to speak). fun i know. so i just studied for about 15min read a little about Keynes, and now i know some things. and after this i am going to study more then blog again. see ya next time.
another blog relating to last week as some fillers. so on wensday we had our ia proposal. i am doing mohammud yunus. this man has his own loan company. what this man does is micro funding. what that is giving someone something like 100$ as a loan. his theory is if you don't give some one a chance, they will never succeed. so anyways with that hundred $ they could buy some wool. with the wool that he has just bought he can make it in to something. with that he can then sell the product he has created and make a profit from. eventually paying off his loan. and what he is doing is trying to create a world without poverty.   i think its great that he is trying to end world poverty. also the fact that he is giving people a chance to live. so thats pretty much why i am going to do this guy for my assignment. see you later.

On tuesday it was pretty much a plain day nothing exciting. In la we have started to read othello but I'll save that topic for some other blogs. In social, At the begging of the class we learned about another guys therie. I think it was the guy thought it would be better to use something called the trickle down system. It's were the government lowers taxs for the rich so the rich get more money. With that money they create more jobs. That means the middle class now have jobs to earn more money. When the middle class has money they tend to spend more. When they spend they create jobs for the lower class. Pretty much it just gets the economy circulating and creating this type of cycle. I thought it was pretty cool how the whole thing worked itself out. Anyways after that we had a debate that lasted only like 10 minutes. Although it was only 10 minutes some pretty good points were raised. Now gotta start on another blog see ya.

filler

so this weekend I'm going to pretty much be decribing what I have done this week. mostly because we have to have 24 blogs by the end of this week. so these blogs are just going to be a bunch of fillers. one of my friends is did something like this but he talked about other things. it was hilarious because he had finished like 14 blogs in a hour and as easy as blogging sounds it's not that easy. I mean like I have said in past blogs I think there just overkill. so enjoy your description of my week

Well today is Monday an I think I am going to meet with the people who went with me to the Casey convention. We still have to create our action plan to actually get our 500 dollars for our project. So you know I'll probably go home at around 4:00. But I guess we finished most of our plans. I mean we know what we are going to do already. We have most of it planned out on the action plan calendar that they provided us with. All we have to do now clean our ideas up probably just tweak it a bit. I shouldn't be to hard. We have around 2 weeks to submit our plan to claim our 500$.

today in social we started to learned about economics. i think its kind of cool but boring at the same time. we learned about how kenysian economics, excuse me if i spelt the name worng. but what his theory was that if we gave the poor more money, the poor would spend money giving corporations more money to expand, thus creating more jobs. then the middle class can find more jobs. they can then work for the rich. finally the rich get money because the poor are spending money in there shops. so thats pretty much what we learned about.

so today was the remeberence day liturgy. i was about half the class who went and the rest were just there because they were in the band. it was kind of sad. they showed us a video and i think half the most of the girls in the school were crying. we even had a war veteren come and talk to us. but the thing about this war veteren was that he was kind of blunt about what he said. it sounded like he was forceing us to vote. but he did have a point, i mean we can change how the world operates. us as a people are  very lazy. when we could be saving the lives of soldiers that are fighting, instead we're sitting on the couch watching the elections. but the thing is when we vote we dont know if the people we are voting for are going to keep their promises so thats what i think some people are scared of when they vote.

anyways im probably starting to make no sense anymore, so ill jsut move on to another topic. when we got bback from the celebration we talked for a bit then we started to slowly moved into a debat. i was funny cause every one got fired up. even mr. alger was fired up. but then again he told us at the begging of the year that he loves debates. me pesonally i just kept slipping in comments here and there. but there was this one person that i would always disagree with this one person and it was funny because she would get angry. but i think the topic was about war. and every one was saying that if we were attacked we should fight back. but its like gandi said "an i for an eye make the world blind". that is posibly my favorite quote in the entire world. the reason i like it so much is because its true.

So on Wednesday I went to the CAWST convention, and I have to admit it was pretty fun. it was me(Patrick), Raymond, who were both in grade 10, also we had 4 others who we had accompanied, and their names were Jenifer, sally, jenessa, and Kristine. Some of it was kind of boring. And oh god it was horrible we had a vegetarian lunch, I couldn't even finish. I kind of feel bad about throwing it away but I think I would've been sick if I had taken another bite out of it. So Raymond and I just bought poutines. Off the topic of food because I'm starting to get hungry. We learned lots of interesting fact like how much water we actually use and now that I think about it I am a very horrible human being. Guess how much water I waste a day? Around 800l of water a day. we meet different people because they split the school teams up into other teams. in those new teams we had done little activities that helped us understand the importance of water, how it affected people in third world countries, how people even took dumps in their water supply. the farmers took their animal to take a crap in the water supply, that was the most unbelievable thing i had ever heard. Anyways after the activities with our new found friends.
