Human Geography
Mr. Schick

It was the most exciting day in Mr. Schick's Honors Human Geography class! We got to see Vlad struggle to get his blog up on the website. We saw all of his struggles, wins, and even losses in this class. Through all of the exciting commotion of  Vlad's mighty battle we went over the syllabus of the class and how everything will work this semester. I know I need to bring my inquisitive and open mind to class everyday because Mr. Schick made a great point on how so many people in America don't have an open mind, they already have an opinion no matter what. So, Mr. Schick made it clear to me, and hopefully others, that we always have to come in to his class with an open mind. We also learned about his class rules, absent rules, and late work rules. For example, if your work is late then it's an automatic 10% off for each day it is late. If it is late for four days then it is an automatic 0 on the assignment. After he was done explaining the syllabus we worked on our blogs for a little bit. Before we knew it, the bell rang which put a wrap on Honer's Human Geography August 30th.

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
