The End is Now
Well, what a year it's been. 12 unit exams, one Internal Assessment, one Oral History Project, and a whole lot of history. I hope you enjoy your summer break and come back ready to finish out your high school career at THS. I'm up for a matinee of Public Enemies if you guys are. I will post information about that on the blog as the time approaches. Until then, keep it real.

I'm gonna miss your class Carlisle. I'll tell you, I'd rather be there than at boys state right now. I'm sitting trough my third guest speaker in a 2 hour timespan... He's talking about how the house and senate work. If I remember correct, i've already learns this in IB US History... Anyway I'm probably gonna get in trouble if they catch me doing this so I'm gonna start paying attention. I appreciate you listening to my ranting and I'll stop by and visit sometime next year. Thanks for makig history fun. Despite all the reading quizzes and the days I went hungry cuz I couldn't eat...

I'm really going to miss your class. You gave us a lot of interesting things to think about and some awesome pictures and random current events. The killer construction cone thing that's on this post is very awesome haha.
Thank you for keeping it interesting.

Oh did you see the sign that was posted by the stairs today? Very funny.

Sidney,
I feel your pain when it comes to boring guest speakers. Been there and done that. I'm very sorry for my oppression against eating your four course meals during class. Have a great summer.
Nicki,
Thanks for the kind words. See you soon.

1) I want to go see Public Enemies! Can you set a date when I am actually in town this summer? :)
2) Birmingham est tres sketch
3) Being called "Senator Luangrath" does not sound as legit as it should
2:10 PM
1. When are you actually in town in July?
2. Not surprised.
3. That is the only name which I will use for you next year.
2:13 PM
I will miss you Carlisle and this class! I really enjoyed this class. You kept interesting and enjoyable even through the extremely boring times of history! I am pretty sure I am taking psychology next year so I will see you then! Hope you have a great summer!

I'll let you know for sure when I get home and figure it out. But Congressional Academy is on the 28th til like th 10th and I'll have a 2 week span before I have to leave for Calif.
4:28 PM
That movie looks LEGIT. I'm in, c-lizzle. And I hope your feet were nice and warm this week. Btw, how did you survive SC? The weather down here suuucks...

Hey Mr. Carlisle
You mentioned you had emailed those of us that are on your Extended Essay list. I didn't get an email, so I just wanted to make sure I was on the list so I can get the announcements over the summer.

Hey Carlisle, I'll really miss your class. I loved it, it made history even more interesting to me than it already had been. I'll really miss looking forward to 4th period. Have a great summer Carlisle and keep up the great teaching.

P.S. Don't forget that if there's a concert at the rose garden you wanna go to (starting september) to get in touch with me.
6:14 PM
even though i didnt talk much...at all even...i still thought it was a really fun class. btw, im going to go on a 70 mile bike loop in the gorge somtime next week, and i will be thinking of you while ride and while im getting knocked off of my bike when a 10000mile wind hits me from the side
6:36 PM
hey so walking through the streets of Eugene today, I saw this guy riding a bike and I swore it was you!!! He had really short denim shorts (I'm not saying to do, I'm just pointing it out) and a plaid shirt on (that's the part that got me) and he was really hardcore, like grunting and stuff. But he rode by and he smelled like mildew and he looked really sketch. Oh, and all that talk about radicals and stuff in your class, there's a lot of them here. Kinda cool to see them in person. Kinda scary too though...

Thanks for the great comments guys. It's really been a pleasure this year, even the school year felt like it lasted 2.34 years. I'm going to miss you guys.
Alex,
A/C.
9:42 PM
Uh, I don't wear, nor have I ever worn, short denim shorts. I try not to smell like mildew on most days.
9:44 PM
yeah, I'm not saying you do wear denim shorts, I just thought you might want to know. And yeah when he rode by and smelled like that, it gave me the immediate "that's not Carlisle" conclusion.
Oh, on a different note, a kid here has one of those blue tooth things that you wanted. It hardly works but if you want, I can whack him in his sleep and get it for you... I'll even throw in a complimentary snuggie with it.
9:56 PM
Nice, make it happen.
10:00 PM
Hey Carlisle, Your class was great, we miss not having it next year. Boy's States pretty cool although the speakers can get quite boring at times. Although it doesn't compare to your class, your class was alot better.
Oh and i'm in for Public Enemies so just let me know when your thinking.
Well thanks again for being a great teacher, and have a great summer.

It's been one great year Mr. Carlisle, I'd take the class over if I could!
Man, I'm not going to be able to look forward to going to your class 4th period next year!
Public Enemies- July 16th!
^^That's when I can actually get into an rated R movie :D
Have a great summer!
4:23 AM
Awwww, thanks Phillip and Tiffany.
6:38 AM
carlisle too bad the movie is rated R. wish i could go! thanks for bringing the enthusiasm otherwise it would have been a longggg year. i think you could tell i was dying down a bit in these last couple weeks and i apologize. see ya next year in psych!
3:32 PM
No worries Tucka, however, you better BRING THE ENERGY to Psych. That class is discussion driven.
5:36 PM
Carlisle, your class was off the hook. It definitely was the most I've learned and most fun I've had in a high school class. It'd be good for me to know the date that we go to the movie a couple weeks in advance so I can request it off from work.
Thanks for the great teaching,
-Connor O'Shea
7:25 PM
I can go to the movie as long as it's after July 11th.
9:02 PM
Connor,
Thanks for your praise, it really means a lot when it comes from someone who loves history like I do. Have a great summer!
7:19 AM
i sent you pictures from alabama, some of which include the civil rights district.
4:39 PM
Haven't received any pics as of yet.
5:04 PM
poo.
i sent it to your school email...was that right? i mean, i don't have any other carlisle email...
5:05 PM
Still nothing.
5:07 PM
well, i sent it again.
alabama wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.
5:19 PM
carlizzle my man,
I'm gonna miss your class a lot, I looked forward to it everyday. Your enthusiasm for the transcontinental railroad truly inspired me. Thanks for making history class fun and challenging at the same time. Gonna miss you next year (except for the reading quizzes). I'll make sure to stop by and say hey next year. Oh and you're gonna write me a letter of rec right?
- Ian McGetrick
12:38 PM
I will finally write you that letter of rec! I promise. Have a good summer.
12:40 PM
I'm really going to miss your class, Carlisle. It's sad that I won't have you as a teacher again. History was a lot of fun with you (except for the railroads) and I really enjoyed it all. You made most of the history really relatable to us today. (Which is hard for teenagers) I'm really looking forward to working on my EE with you. (I say that now...)
Public Enemies looks sick! I want to go see it so bad! I think it would be a lot of fun to have a history reunion. Let me know!
Thanks for all of the good times!
Moss
5:10 PM
Thanks Allie! I will be in touch about the EE in a few weeks.
6:20 PM
mmm I'm going to go eat ribs mmmmmmmmmm....
11:48 AM
Was delicious.
So..how about that Mark Sanford? heh
6:34 PM
Hey having an affair on your spouse is very en vogue for a lot of politicians.

UH-MAZING. go urban dictionary.
7:55 PM
Are we going to have a Blue Plate day soon? That would be fun.
2:12 PM
Max,
Mos def. We can do something in July. Just get the peeps together and email me. I can do almost any day of the week. I'm thinking Blueplate followed by video games. There's also really delicious food carts downtown for super cheap.
I like cheap.
3:36 PM
So I know im kind of late to write on this, but here it goes.
Im going to miss your class so much Carlisle! Having your class fourth period really helped me through this year. I really love histroy, and you taught us so much. Thank you for an awesome year!
I am really looking forward to having you as my EE advisor too!
I really want to go see public enemies! Even though I wont be 17 until next march. . . I am determined to see it!
3:43 PM
Lauren,
It was a real pleasure having you in class this year. I think you really matured as a student as the year progressed.
I'm looking forward to guiding you through the EE process.
7:43 PM
I miss psychology =( Only class I showed up to when I had a terrible cold at some point in the spring and it was the day we watched that video on crazy internet kidz and you weren't there. Not to mention probably the most practical and entertaining class at THS.
This blog shows up every time I open a new tab on IE as one of my "most viewed pages" so post something when you're going to Public Enemies / Blue Plate and I'll definatly be there =)
10:14 PM
Thanks Alex. Just check the blog for an announcement on the movie. I'm thinking middle of the month.
Probably won't do Blueplate. Too many people and the restaurant is small, however, I'm totally down for the excellent lunch carts that are downtown.
