At school we had a massive presentation about African countries. Each student from our wing got split into groups, not according to the classes we're in, but randomly. I was chosen by my group to create the landscape platform represented by our country, Botswana. It was pretty fun to create all the biomes on it in science class, where all the other students chosen to make the landscapes for their countries were.
During our presentation, one in which the whole wing (four whole classes) was packed into a two-room space, I got to show my landscape to half the seventh grade. The English teacher asked me to twirl in front of everybody after I'd done it to open my part of the presentation. She just thought it was cute, I guess. Everyone laughed at me, but not in a cruel way.
My English teacher is pretty for an older teacher. She has beach blonde hair and likes to wear tight clothes. In English she teaches us about root words- how collections of our words in English originated from Greek or Latin ones. Many of our words are combined from different roots, like photography (photos + graphos, or something like that). There's a girl I used to sit by in this class. I was always amazed at how fast she could read. I always tried to keep up with her during reading time, but never could.
My favorite class is Social Studies. The teacher is funny and the subjects we learn about are the most interesting to me. When he had us take a pretest on African countries, I correctly located 53 out of the possible 55 countries on the map. He couldn't believe it, so he asked me to bring the map over to him. In front of everyone, he sarcastically said after looking over it: "Ok, now for the rest of us humans..."
