Today we took our test and i did good the only problems i think i got wrong was the organization questions like NATO an the UN and UE. I liked how some of the questions were questions from the movie we watched Slum Dog Millionaire but i think I got the question wrong on the who invented the tool ( which i don't remember ) I put Sam Adams i think. I got an 85 on the test but i feel like i should have done better than that like 90

Today in class we watched slumdog millionaire for the people that were absent on Tuesday after that we talked about any questions we had after the movie. like why do they have dance sceans at the end or why Salim was in the bath tube while he was getting killed and taking out the evil millionaire that he worker for. I liked how at the beginning of the movie they ask you the question of why Jamal won the game show and gives you the four possible answers and then at the end they put it D. IT WAS WRITTEN. It was a really good movie and i am very glad we got to watch it during class instead of taking notes
