Today in class we started off by talking to the shadows.  There was about 4 of them I think and it was very funny when they had to come up with an amazing thing they have done in the past.  Then we talked about why you were not here yesterday.  You were not there because you had to put your dog down.  You told us about the story about your dog and how you got him.  I found the story really interesting because I had the same thing happen to me.  I was in Greece (there is a lot of stray dogs there.)  but there was this one that would stay right near our house but the neighbors kept throwing rocks at him to keep him away.  We asked why they did that and they said it was because he was a mean dog and they did not want there kids to get hurt.  Turns out he was one of the nicest dog ever.  He would keep coming closer to our house then he finally laid outside on the blanket we left him.  We took care of him for the rest of the time we were in Greece and then left him with a lady that would take care of him till we could get him adopted.  Well for a month or two no one was adopting him so we decided to bring him over from Greece and keep him.  In the beginning all the dogs did not get along that much but in the end it all turned out good and they now all get along.  After that we talked about why companies go over seas  to make there money and why don't they give jobs to the Americans.  Well the reason is because it is way more cheaper to pay someone in china and places like that and the prices to buy them here are way more cheaper.  Well turns out one of the guys in our class has a father the owns the company (window candles) and he talks about how his after sends the things to be made in China and India instead of here because it coast a lot less money then here.

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.
