               Today in the wonderful Honor's Human Geography class with Mr. Schick we got a new air conditioner! Just kidding, that's not the only thing that happened today. We drew maps without even looking at anything to help us. Mr. Schick called it a mental map. We had to draw a map of the world without looking at the map in the back of the room. Mine was extremely bad. I drew all of the continents way out of proportion and the same went for the oceans. We also had to draw a map of our route to school. I got out my notebook and made all of my lines and all of the places I pass and then realize I did it to the school I went to for the last nine years of my life. So, I threw that one out and made my new one. I drew the lines and the bridge I cross all the way until I got to John Carroll. The whole activity really gave you a fell for where you are in the world.

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.
