Today in class it was normal as usual. We started taking notes until the phone ran and said Mr. Schick has a visitor. Mr. Schick went to go get him, and it ended up being Mr. Schick with a sweatshirt and sunglasses. Mr. Schick performed Low by Flo Rida. The performance was pretty funny because he changed the lyrics into things about Rome. After, we took notes, they are listed below...
