Dylan's DC Blog

Today, we went to the Arlington National Cemetery. First, we saw a guard changing ceremony. Chad, our tour guide, told us that the guards had to be very proper, and that they almost looked like robots, which they did. I thought it was really cool but I think some people thought it was boring. That lasted about 15 minutes. 

Then, we saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and hung around the amphitheater for a few minutes. Next, we walked up to the Arlington House which was about a 10 minute walk up a bunch of stairs. There was a great view there. After that, we walked to the eternal flame, which is for John F. Kennedy. We saw his grave and his relatives graves. Finally, we walked back to the bus and went to lunch.

*insert self-deprecating disclaimer here* AGENDA BLOG corrections Banned Books Bracket: SPAR Examining Tone Essay Basics HW: RJ 7.4 Read for 20 mins Get parent signature We read Shosh's blog and read Lanfructose's six comments. Then, Ms. Nakada showed us last years 4th period blog. After that, we replied to Lanfructose's comments, asking him why he spoiled The Outsiders for us. Now, we are talking about Koen's baby jokes, and I'm wondering why we haven't corrected Shosh's blog. Just kidding guys, saved by Kate. We finished correcting Shosh's blog, and everyone started talking. After about 10 minutes, most people stopped talking, and we got back to work. Willa and Ms. Nakada got ready for SPAR. I personally think that The Perks of Being A Wallflower is better, but I am terrible at explaining things, so don't expect me to start a spontaneous argument. Then, people started bombarding Willa with questions like, "How can there be...

Thanks, Veronica for writing about me so much and embarrassing me in the last blog. I'm really bad at writing, so don't expect this to be as interesting as Veronica's. AGENDA Blog • Corrections In-Class essays Complete • Print • Highlight Reader's workshop HW: RJ 8.4 Read for 20 mins Get RJ signed  Just now, Ms. Nakada finished correcting Veronica's blog, and now we're moving on to finishing our essays.

Everyone is still doing their essays, so I'm going to start reading. Ayden (sorry if that's not the way you spell it) came by and called me a dork, so thank you, Veronica. Apparently, Bridget isn't very good at spelling, because she keeps coming up to Ms. Nakada asking how to spell things and interrupting my reading (: .   Ms. Nakada is now reminding peopl...
