Yesterday, Ms. Dawkins told me not to come to class today because there was another field trip, so I didn't.  I sat in the Library with Elyse Messick and Dylan O'Connell and we worked on our Contemporary World Studies final project.  We are in groups and the situation is President Bush dies and a new female, liberal, democratic president comes in.  As Japan we had to say whether our views and alliance with Japan would change or not.
