Dumb Laws

The dumbest law I know of is that you can't buy fireworks in Illinois. You can't buy them, but you are able to shoot them off. So every fourth of July we have to drive all the way to the boarder just to buy them and bring them back to our house. You are also not able to shoot them off in town, unless you are on your own property, were else are you going to shoot them off? I think that Illinois should allow them to be legal, but put a tax on them so Illinois is able to make some money off of them.

Oly Facts

I go to school to Olympia High School. It is a school that is in the middle of the no where surrounded by cornfields. There is'nt too much slang that goes around but I do here the word "dude" quite a bit. I would say we have two types of dress in the school, preps and skaters. Preps buy most of their clothes from A&F, Hollister, and AE. Skaters buy their clothes from Hot Topic, and Pac Sun. We have the the mens sports group, and the people that play in the band group. The best thing about Olympia is the baseball program. We have won the state twice in the last six years. Our coach also has over 400 career wins.

If I could ask Ted Willians some questions.

If I could meet anyone in the world at any time in history it would have to be Ted Williams. He was the last person to ever his .400 in the MLB. He just passes away a few years ago so I would have to go back in time to do this. The first thing I would ask is how many hours a day he would work on hitting? What was it like playing in Fenway Park? How did you feel about getting drafted into the war during the prime or your career? Do you think that you could have hit 800 homeruns if you stayed in the league the whole time? What was your most memorable homerun? How did you feel about the Williams shift? If you could change on thing about baseball today, what would it be?

School

School so far this year is going alright. I have no easy classes but they are all fun. I have Spanish 1, Chemistry, English 2, and Trig 1. I usually have about an hour of homework every night. Some nights it gets hard because we have football practice until 6:30 at night and I’m not home till 7. Then I have to eat supper, shower, and do homework and hope to get it done by 11. My favorite class right now is Spanish 1. I have a few friends in there and Mr. Hiro is very funny. I like the environment. My least favorite class is Chemistry, I like science but more of the biology part of science. We have doing things such as scientific notation and significant figures. I think it is more like math that it is science. Football is also going alright. We didn’t win our first game but I think we have a good chance of winning this week against Prairie Central. My coach said that I might get to play some quarterback tonight.
