American Studies

By Alexis

Today, half of the Team went on a field trip. So the teachers decided that today all of the students would go to only first, second, and third periods. The first and second periods only lasted for half an hour, and third period lasted for 20 min.

After that everyone went to their assigned teacher, and either stayed, or left for the trip. I was one of the people who had to stay, and for the time left before lunch, and 15 min. after lunch, I was with the American Studies teacher. For the time that I was there, we did a test. The test didn't count towards our grades, but it was like a competition.

We were in groups of two, and we had to do the test as a team, and once we were done we had to put our pencils away, and then we were handed a red colored pencil and an answer key, and we checked our answers. We would be disqualified if we were caught with a pencil out, so we made sure not to take out our pencils. Whatever team got the least wrong would get some unknown prize. The person I was with and I got two wrong. After lunch we came back up, and the winners were announced.

"There was a tie, and the groups with the least wrong got two wrong, and those groups are Erik and Metea, and Alexis and Jocelyn. Will those groups talk to me before they leave?"

So, when we were leaving, she asked us to let her know by the end of the day what type of King Size candy bar we liked, and that our prize was the King Size candy bar. AWESOME!!!! I'm so lucky!
