A.P. Test

So the A.P. test was yesterday. Overall I think that I did pretty good. The multiple choice was by far the most difficult. I don't know why but there were questions that were a lot more in depth than what were on the practice tests. The essays were a lot more common sense than what I though, at last that was what I thought.

Right now we're watching a movie. I forgot what it was called but still, even though it is an old movie I really like it. Except I don't know what his motive is right now, for proving the things that he is trying to prove. I guess we'll just see what happens...

So the rest of the movie. It was much better than I expected. The idea that medication could bring a person like that back to life is pretty remarkable.

Culture Shock

I've traveled to my fair share of countries in my life. In one year alone, I went to France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Costa Rica. The countries in Europe did not seem all that different from America. But in Costa Rica, it was shocking to see the kinds of conditions that many people live in. The shacks that they live in really is unbelievable, especially to think the types of homes that we live in here in the states.

We also did a relaxation session. Before every big meet the swim team does something similar to this. We lay on the pool deck and relax every muscle in our body. THen we envision our swims, because it goes along the principle that if you think you can, then you can.
