Week of 10/04/13 Review

This week we began discussing the Crucible.  I find it interesting so far, but kind of difficult to keep track of all the characters involved since they were all introduced at once. We also did a quote to live by, which I thought was fun. I liked the fact that we got to read each other’s.  This week I had a game at Jackson Park against Curie, which we won 2-1 to end the regular conference season.  The game schedule for the rest of the year is un announced, but I have so many projects for this week that I hope I we don’t play many games this week.

Week of 09/27/13 Review

This week went by fairly fast.  In English we began reading the Crucible, which is kind of confusing.  We had three games this week, but I sat out the Monday game because I was  sick and hadn’t gone to school. On Wednesday we won 2-1 vs Hubbard HS.  On Friday I had my cousin from Saint Louis come  and watch the game. We lost 2-0 vs Mather HS. It was a close game and we lost because the worst player on the team messed up really badly and that allowed them to score a goal. It was disappointing considering some family came to see me but after the game we went to a restaurant and had a lot of fun.

Joseph McCarthy

  


Joseph Raymond McCarthy, was

a Senator for Wisconsin from 1947-1957.  He  was born in Grand Chute, Outagamie County, Wisconsin on November 14^th 1908. He was very smart; he completed a 4 year college course in only 1 year, and graduated from Marquette University in 1935. He gained a law degree the year he graduated and began practicing. In 1939 he was elected “circuit judge of the tenth judicial circuit of Wisconsin.”  Enlisted in 1942, in the United States Marine Corps and resigned in 1945 as a Lieutenant. Soon he ran for senate but wasn’t voted , but was reelected as a judge. Elected into U.S. Senate in 1946, got reelected and served until his death. McCarthy died May 2, 1957. During his career a senator he was also chairperson to the 83^rd congress. He used his position to launch investigations to find and charge communists inside the government, which became his trademark job.

Week of 9/20/13 Review

This week, we worked a lot on Act 4 to a Raisin in the Sun.   We had to writ a act 4 to the book, and I really enjoyed it. I think I did well and included a unexpected plot twist at the end. This week I had one soccer game against Solario. It was the worst soccer field I have played on this year and we tied 1-1.  On Friday I got sick, so all of Saturday I was either on the couch or in my bed. Today Sunday, I was supposed to go to red bull’s Flugtag event at the lake but can’t go due to me still being sick and having to do so much HW. I have about 13 assignments including several projects due this week. I have 6 English assignments, which is way to much.

Week of 9/13/13 Review

This week has been sports filled. I had 3 games, one home and two away.  On Monday the JV team played Kelly HS, which is second in city. We beat them 3-0, with me getting an assist, while the Varsity team lost 4-0. On Wednesday, we played against Amundsen HS and we lost 2-1. Friday we played Loyola HS and beat them 2-0 with me scoring a goal in between the keeper’s legs.  This weekend I have a lot of homework so will be very busy both Saturday and Sunday. Classes this week were ok, but I am glad that the weekend has finally arrived.

Week of 9/06/13 Review

This has been the second week of school.  I am currently happy that I chose to go to Whitney Young.  This week a few things have happened.  Tuesday, I was supposed to have a soccer game but it got cancelled which was quite a disappointment, but on the bright side that day I added a new quote to my favorites list, “I’d be a vegetarian if bacon grew on trees” –Homer Simpson. On Wednesday I got fairly lucky because I went to Quiznos for a sandwich with some fiends and the lady at the counter ended up giving me a free sandwich for no reason, saved me about $6.  Thursday had a soccer game in Oak Park and lost against a top 15 team in the state. Didn’t get home until 9:15! Friday, nothing interesting, just had dinner downtown.
