MINI ROLLER COASTERS!

Okay, well as you all know our lovely twelve graders made a truly ah-mazing project. It was (drumroll...)

Making Roller Coasters For Marbles!

I tought about each:
1.JUNGLE! This one was flawless and FAST but it had too much part on the bottom and not that many curves... It wasn't very tall either. It was cool how they had "grass" though.
2.SOCCER FIELD! I loved the idea that a marble lands onto the net and it definetely worked. It is a very good idea and I loved the enthusiasm the presenters showed.
3.CITY BRODWAY!I did't like this one that much because I thought it didn't work very well and It was too simple.
4.CHINA!This one was very very attractive and TALL (OH MY GOD!) and I would TOTALLY go in it, especially if I was looking for an adrenaline rush.
5.CANDYLAND! This one was my personal favorite, since it was very detailed and attractive and great.

Is this really why that American man with a deadly weapon is in Iraq?

Today, a respective little retired soldier from the former U.S. Army came by to our English Lit. class. He came in to talk about his experience in Iraq. WOW. His talk was "intense", and all that. He came in with SUCH an atittude, but I'm not sure I liked it. One thing was for sure: he was NOT the smiley-warm type of guy... then again, he's not to blame. Shot a 15 (or so) year old in Iraq. AN INOCENT DUDE! Sadness, sadness, and to think he was proud. I, for one, would NEVER decide to go to a military academy, much less war. His talk was firm. He believed that the Army had done right to invade an irrevelant country. A country who's buisness is their own. Little Mr.Bush made so many mistakes. Okay, Iraq was a little messed up. Yet, the question lingering is what does the USA think it is? Was, should I say? Viva Obama! Viva Iraq! LL Peace! So next time you think of America, don't only think of McDonald's and The Statue Of Liberty. Think of how proud you are that Obama is cleaning up Bush's blood-red mess.
