Today in class we took a test on Ancient Greece, Socrates, and A Message to Garcia. I think I did pretty well. I know a couple are probably wrong. What sucks is that I knew one on the fill in the blanks answer started with an s and I just couldn't remember. So as soon as I turned in my test and looked in my notes for the answer, I knew it right away. That sucked. I hope the whole class gets an A (including me) but that is not likely. Over all, it seemed pretty easy, it just caught me on a few. I liked learning about Greece, but I would like to get further into the material, and learn a little more about the cultures. This test came pretty fast too, so maybe the next won't come so fast, though it would probably have more to answer on it. That's the downside. What are we learning next? I think some interesting topics to learn about would be the wars and the way people lived in different times back then. But maybe not so far back. It tends to seem like we always learn about the same time period in history classes. I'm looking forward to the next subject.
