four days long and it was fun, but the Thanksgiving meal wasn’t satisfying.

It was easy, we had won 4-1. It was a sweep, I scored a goal, and then tyler scored 3. Our next opponent was Watertown. Everytime we play them it is like a WWE fighting match.

We were playing like crap, I don’t think any of us were doing our best. It was 2-3 we lost. Then, it was time to see if we have

My hypothesis is that as temperature decreases and increases the metabolism of the leopard frog will respond in direct correlation. We tested this hypothesis in a sealed and controlled environment with per-determined concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide at a specific rate of 50 cc per minute, and then measured the output of the carbon dioxide at room temperature
