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.

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.
