Michigan is probably going to either win the Big Ten Tournament or get runner-up.
If you lose to Penn State you don't deserve to.

Name a team that hasn't lost to a team that they should have beaten this season.

Gonzaga

Gonzaga probably should have beaten Illinois and Butler and be undefeated if they're really "#1." Every other team they've played, except Oklahoma St., has been crap.
 
Well, they handled Penn St. pretty well today so I guess they fixed whatever the problem was.
 
It's the start of the quarter and I'm already being overflowed with homework... I'm not liking this one bit.
 
Hey guys, I'm going to Des Moines tomorrow for a youth conference thing, so I won't be on at all. Just thought I'd let you know.
 
Today I took the National Latin Exam (standardized test) even though my class was never told about it beforehand. :P

Latin exam, does that mean that the test is about Latin stuff?

It's basically a small test of how well we know Latin. I don't know how well I did, but it doesn't mean much for us anyway.

Why do you have to even learn Latin? It seems so pointless why don't people learn Spanish or other languages that are used a lot more.

Latin is the root of many different languages, so if you learn it, then it should be a breeze to learn other languages in the future. I would love to learn Latin over Spanish. I will never use Spanish, and if I do, it would only be the basics that most of us already know before we take any foreign language classes.

Spanish is the only language I ever use besides English, so it seems more important than Latin at least for me.

Exactly. Almost every language finds its roots in Latin, so it's a nice language to learn. Also, I attend the Traditional Catholic Mass which is said in Latin.

I would like to learn something else though... maybe Gaelic or Tibetan, so I can be different from all you Spanish-learning conformists. :P
