Hello readers,
St. Mary's has been such a blast lately. In English, we just finished reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. We watched films about the controversy the book brings to many high schools around the country and examined the themes within the plot. We are also preparing for the AP test in May. I am nervous, but I feel very well-prepared. In Pre-Calculus, we are learning about logarithms, logarithmic graphs, and logistic graphs. I am still working through the computer programming on teamtreehouse.com. I am learning how to code in Swift, which works on Apple products. Hopefully, I will be able to share my final project with all of you. In Social Justice, we are exploring different topics, including mass incarceration and the education gap. With AP US History, we just studied our WWII unit. In French, we learned the future tense and in economics, we watched a film on Enron.
My classes have been great, but spring break was a great rest from the work and weekly routine. Over the break, I played lots of tennis. Spring sports began in March and, so far, we have had lots of fun in our new sports league. Then, I went to Seattle with my mom to visit colleges. I went to University of Washington and Seattle University. If you ever go to Seattle, you have to see the "gum wall" near Pike Place. It is covered in grafitti and gum. It's crazy to think that I will be leaving St. Mary's in a little over a year, but it is mindblowing that I will be leaving my family. Time flies and it's important to be thankful for everything you have today.
See you next time,
Emma Rosenthal
