The first time Henry shoot Justin been block him. Then the next time Henry shoot he made the basket. After that Justin told us how to play 32. on 32 justin kicked our butts on that game.

After that we went to record some of the west high school. and the coolest place was the planetarium in the school. We also met Tim and Matt. Matt is the math teacher Ciri Cook-Inlet.

In first hour we just watched Cast Away througout the class. in second hour we just played game on Henry A's Ipod, because we had nothing to do in that class. In 4th hour we went to Mandy's class. While we were there me henry a chris and matt went into the Auditorium. The Lights were off in the Auditorium. We went there ro go take pictures. When we were there I almost bumped the rail on the top of the auditorium. We went there to go take pictures. After school we went to take a tour of the Alaska Native Hospital and Prmary Care Center. Dr. Mala took us on the tour of the Prmary Care Center. After the tour we went to the house and play Nazi Zombies Online. We usally play game all the time, but sometimes we watch tv when we get bored of playing game, which is not often. If we get bored of playing one game Chris got a lot of other games we could play. Then later that night we went to the Band Concert to watch the South East and West high schools perform. it was really awsome. To bad theres only one more day to stay with host family. Its been really fun staying at there house. And Chris's parents are really nice. I also liked there dog Kamen IDK how to spell the dogs name.

The West High Shool is REALLY BIG!!! This morning Chris Henry A and I had to walk from one side of the school to the other just to get to the classes Chris has. It probably took about 3 to 5 minutes to get from one class to the other class. For lunch we went to McDonalds. But the McDonalds we went to sucked. Sophie took the slow way to McDonalds, that sucked alittle bit. But it was alright. atleast we ate lunch. I also got a tour of the school from Davide. We wemt to see the big gym, then we went to the small gym then we went to see the Swimming pool. Chris is our "brother" Henry A and I always stay at his house.
I learned how they bring the freight in on container ships. And that's how they bring the food in, then they send the freight to where ever its going. I got to see a contain ship, and the trucks taking the freight off of it. I went to take a tour of the Anchorage Dock, Went to the Star Wars Exhibit, and eat at the 5th Avenue Mall.
