School Update.....


I've been off in the world of business math for the last hour! Wow! My brain is exhausted! I'm seeing SOTD- n x (n+1) / 2 when I close my eyes! I'm learning all about loans and interest! Very interesting! If some one takes a loan out at 7.2% if you make installments instead of paying it all off, you are actually paying 14.4 %! Interesting huh? Well, enough about math!
I made my first Informative speech on Monday, Nov 1st, which was All Saint's Day. Which was very appropriate seeing I did my speech on the great Reformer, Martin Luther. Exactly 493 years and one day before this, Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five thesis on the church door in Whittenburg, Germany. This type of speech is strictly factual and can in no way be persuasive.It went very well! I'm learning out to outline speeches and analyses my audience. You need to know who will be listening to your speech so that you focus your speech toward that group of people. I'll let you know my score when I get my grade! The whole class analysed each speech.
In my sanitation class we are learning how to do a health inspection. My chef, walked us through the school cafeteria today and showed us how to go about doing a health inspection. It was very enlightening. School has been hectic but fun!
