Power Jam

In p.e. the girls are doing an activity called power jam. We watch a video where people are exercising  and we follow what they do and exercise with them. We do this for about sixteen minutes. I don't think we should have to do this. It's really boring and pointless. We get more exercise playing actual games and gym, and those games are a lot more fun than power jam. The guys don't have to do it. They get to play basketball and since they get to play a game than we should too. We just move around on a mat listening to the lady sing and exercise. It's really not fun at all.

Obama

I liked the inauguration this last week. I think it was a milestone for this country. I like that we have a new president and a new first family. They seem very nice. I don't like his choices for cabinet postions. I don't think they will help very much. I don't agree on some of the things Obama is proposing. I don't like that he is for abortion but I do like that he is against gay marriage. I don't like Obama's proposition of  $1000 energy rebate for consumers. I think that he will try to help the economy but I'm not sure if he will succeed. I think he will be an o.k. president.
