Period 6
Today we worked on an Imagery sheet about a girl looking into a water gourd and seeing her parents in it. So, that was pretty interesting.
Then we started to have this class-wide conversation about electrons and atoms. Apparently, every object we touch is 90% empty space, so we should technically be able to go right through them. But because the atoms and such in our bodies let out a repelling force, we don’t. We also learned that everything on Earth- including us- has its own orbit.
Then Mr. Eldridge told us about the administrative center of the brain, and how you need to be relaxed and calm for it to answer problems efficiently. So basically, if you’re ever given a riddle that’s hard to solve or you’re taking a difficult test, you should just calm down and clear your mind. Also, if you’re in a life or death situation, it’s usually the calm ones who survive, so you should remember to keep your cool.
Lastly, we read “Nature” by Ralph Waldo Emerson and discussed the opening. And that was what happened in sixth period.

By “class discussion”, did you mean major melt-down and volatile eruption of opinions between DAPL and I?
