Weekly Update #8: Meh

I guess I am back with this blog because I have to, and I don't want to disappoint Miss K.

Not feeling good, but here's what we saw last week:

What I learned last week in SMRT 140

• Nuclear Energy
• Extreme Quiz of Animal Farm
• The Old Man and the Sea
• Unit 8

Remember I was complaining about how we had to make an essay about nuclear energy and how I was dreading the fact that I had to present, well it happened.

We kept seeing this topic and we did the essay (which turned out to be a lot more than 500 words), and it wasn't that bad. At first I thought it was going to be a boring topic and that I was not going to like it at all; however, I feel like we learned a lot from it. Nuclear energy is not that bad, sure it has its ups and downs, but it is a grat source of energy that can satisfy a lot of people.

A bad thingfrom this presentation was that it got very repetitive, but still, I found it very fun and interesting, plus we got to see me have a breakdown so, you're welcome (sorry about that).

We also had to make an extreme quiz of animal farm last week. IT WAS OF 64 QUESTIONS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!??!¡ Some questions were really specific and I had to look at the story several times. However, the story was really good and I enjoyed it a lot. 10/10 would read again.

Now that we are talking about reading and stuff, we also had to read the first part of the "short" story The Old Man and the Sea. So far I am liking it alot. It is about an old fisherman in Cuba, that has had a bad luck streak and that is not planning on extending it, so he goes one more time and has spend, until now, 3 days on his boat trying to catch a fish. 

I feel really sad about the old man, and how he is trying not to give up. I am looing forward into finishing it and finding out how the story will end. Please don't let the old man die. :(

On friday we started Unit 8, with deforestation. We couldn't finish the activity but it seems like a nice and not so boring topic, so I am not complaining about it ... yet.

The word of the week is:

Livestock

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my breakdown. I love you.
