Human Geo

Yesterday in human geo class we went to the CIA website about the different countries and things about them.  For the whole class!!  It was very fun.  You gave use around 10-15 minutes to find a good fact about a country.  Then we went around the room and shared are facts about what country we choose. It was very easy to find a fact about my country because I choose Greece and that is where most of my family is from (other half is from Peru).  I just thought of a fun fact I knew about it and then just checked to make sure it was on the web cite.  My fact was that when you turn 18 in Greece you need to go to the military for 1 year and then have to serve the Air Force and navy for 9 months.  Most of my family had to do that but my dad moved out of Greece before he turned 18 so he never had to do it but he can not stay there more then 4 months (I think that is the number of months) or they will make him go in the military.  My brothers just got there citizenship there a couple months ago so that means they have to go to the military when they turn 18 too.  But I loved to here all the cool facts like in Fiji there national langue is English which I had idea about.  We were not able to finish all the facts but I hope we finish them all Monday.

Western Civ

Yesterday in class we didn't do much. We went over one of are old test that we had.  I got a 78% o it so I think I did ok on it.  After that we took the test that we would of took if we would of voted to have a test Friday.  It was that hard but I didn't want to risk having a test and the failing it and my C go down.  After we finished it you gave us the answers so we can review for the exam.  I really want to get my grade up for western civ because it is at a 79.12% and I really want a B so I can get all B's on my report card.

Yesterday in class we went over the power point and had someone in the class take notes on the board and we would all copy it.  I found it a lot more interesting then the other power points we have been doing because it talked about how they started to care about art, mathematics, and literature again. And also starting to look back at Rome and Greece and see how they did things.  It talked about a lady that was very Richard care about art and a lot of other things.  She would pay the artist to paint her or paint something she would want and there would put her in the back round.  For examples she asked Leonardo da Vinci t paint the nativity and put her in the back ground. If it wasn't for her we would not ave know a lot of these artist would have even existed.
