the final post.... :(

well...this is the last post. this is kind of sad. well...i have to admit that i REALLY loved this class. having it first period was a great way to start of the day this entire semester. although the test were challenging i enjoyed every bit of material that we have learned. my favorite activity this semester was the play doh brain. that was soo fun and it really helped me momorize the parts and functions of the brain. what i loved about this class is how fun it was. you are so funny and an awesome teacher. i cannot wait until next year when i take ap eco to have you for a teacher again. the only negative i have about this class is that we always seemed to be rushing to finish a chapter before a test. i realize that this is a result of all of the side conversations that took place during class which i am fully aware i contributed to almost every day. the one thing that i think should be left out of the course i possibly the take home test. although i did enjoy having a long time to work on one test i feel that i could do better with a shorter test to take in class. this wouold actually require me to study. i think that playing with the clicker things helped a lot for some reason. they were fun... kind of like a game. i think that those should be used more often next year. also...next week i really need you to go over is perception and possibly motivation.
i had so much fun in this class this semester and i am really going to miss it. i hope to have you next year :)

i feel dumb...

well... i only got 4 out of the ten correct on the lateral thinking puzzle IQ test..which doesn't make me feel smart at all. Although I missed so many of the questions my score was relatively close to my actual IQ from the test that wwe took in class (but 10 points lower). oh well..like for real what is a 'sort of toad'?
next i played a game called isoball. the point of this game is to create a path for the ball to land in this hole. you can only use a certain amount of each type of brick though. this game was easy and fun until about level 5..then it got hard...like nearly impossible, but it made my brain work! well, next i played metaphysik. that game is hard! you have to guide a ball into this box using the arrow keys and if you hit any of the walls it starts over! i got to level 19 and had to stop. the spinning rainbow ball was giving me a headache.
my article...http://www.psychologytoday.com/collections/201112/the-upside-down-times/learning-think-optimist
soo.. this article said that you should be strong even during tough times.  if plan a doesnt work for you have a plan b and maybe you will be successful. the article said that if you dont give  up during tough times it will only make you a better, stronger person. when describing events in your past it's what you believe about what happens in your life that determines how you react to it rather than the event itself.
