We started off class today by commenting on what Mr.Schick was wearing which was pink and red and everyone said he was dressed like it was Valentines Day, then Mr.Schick said "On Wednesday we wear pink" which is a famous quote from the movie Mean Girls. Karson and I were in disbelief that this whole time Mr.Schick has been wearing pink on Wednesday's and we never noticed. He then explained that not only did he wear it because of the movie, bit it was also part of a senior prank a couple years ago and every since he has worn pink on Wednesday's, so Karson and I made an agreement to wear a pink headband on Wednesday's from now on. However, after that we started class and reviewed for the test we have tomorrow. As Mr.Schick went though the slideshow I went and starred everything that he said was important and is probably going to be on the test tomorrow which was:
