The World is Ending...Really

         In today's wonderful Honor's Human Geography class with Mr. Schick we learned about how important oil is, but also how terrible it is for the environment. During this class we actually got way off topic since the lesson was about the United States of America's imports and exports. America's number one import is oil. According to the Central Intelligence Agency the United States buys about 8.567 million barrels of oil a day. That is an ubsurd amount of oil, but we need it. Literally, almost everything in the world is made of oil from being manufactured by machines that require oil or the item burns oil itself. So, our country requires oil to survive. However, there are two huge problems that occur when obtaining the oil. One is that it is a nonrenewable resource, and two is that it causes Global Warming. After discussing this the bell rang and ended class.

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.
