First Day Back

Today in Honor's Human Geography with Mr. Schick we were greeted with an extremely cold room that was about 60 degrees fareinheight. On top of the frigid temperature, in the relaxing days of winter break I forgot my locker combination. So, I showed up to Mr. Schick's class without any of my books. Luckily, I was able to get a piece of paper and a pencil from some generous people in our class. After that we took notes on what exactly a nation is and what makes up it. We learned how a nation is classified in country, state, and city. We also talked about what an institution is. The Dictionary defines institution as a  society or organization founded for a religious, educational, social, or similar purpose. Examples of institutions can be fast food, cars, public schools, etc. Mr. Schick explained how everyone used to go to Church every Sunday and rest every Sunday. Now the group of people who don't identify as a religion has been institutionalized and people now work on Sundays. After this, the bell rang and ended the 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.
