Todayyy Mr. Schick sang a kick butt song about Rome. After that we talked about our upcoming projects on Rome. I wassssss going to work with Pia but Teter is a loser and wont let his class work with other classes so I'll just have to go it aloneee
So I'm not really sure what I'm going to for this thing but I'm thinking either the map showing the expansion of Rome or recreate authentic clothing.
But class was super boring today ): so there's not much to sayyyyyy
Um, my brother Kevin started to hike the Appalachian Trail starting in Georgia and ending in Maine so let's talk about that. He says he's going to hike the whole thing but only 1 in 4 thru hikers actually complete the trail. The AT is one of the longest marked foot paths like ever measuring over 2,000 miles long (according to: http://www.appalachiantrail.org/about-the-trail) They say that up to 3 million people wander these woods every year. The thing I find awsomest is the trail names hikers usually adopt on the trail. It seems like almost getting a new identity, like the trail can change you. I can't wait to see what nick names Kevin picks up along the way.
They say it takes about 6 months to complete the trail, but every hiker is different. Another cool fact I got from this website is "The total elevation gain of hiking the entire A.T. is equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest 16 times."
It's probably like the best human experience out there, and I hope to one day do something as awesome as this.
