After staying up until 2:30 AM, I did relatively good on this test; although, I don't know my grade. I'm very confident I got an A on this difficult subject and I look forward to moving onto Part 2 of Greece. Through the entire Test, only two questions really made me ponder, those being the one which is false about Dactylic Hexameter and the one regarding the citizenship of Athens. Upon further review of both, I am delighted to inform whoever is reading this that I got them right, hopefully. Furthermore, I didn't do too sharp on my English Quiz this morning; but yet again, much of that time was spent studying for this Test which I believe I did well on. I am looking forward to the grades which I will be staying tuned in to see. With that said, I must rush to prepare for my Math test tomorrow morning, which should be moderately difficult, although I feel as if I can find a way to spark my memory in the entirety of Chapter 6 of Math.  With that said, I conclude my Februa...

The preparations begin, meaning I have started studying for the test tomorrow. Today was in a way useful because we did a brief review of the new content we did yesterday and what would be on the test. In addition to the recap of yesterday, we were told the specifics of what would be on the test tomorrow; 1-32 slides, Pg. 123-133, and The Allegory of the Cave as well. As I write this Blog, I am working on a Quizlet on the side which usually helps me prepare for a test. Although sometimes I feel as if I study the wrong content, I feel a bit more confident this time around that so long as I create a solid study guide for myself, I may very well succeed in this assessment. That being said, I also fear that since we are not allowed to bring our textbook home, I am not going to retain as much there from my notes which only scrape the top as far as what is covered. Though, luckily, Mr. Schicks Google Slide seems well constructed, so that will surely help me. Besides studying, in class there ...

In Western Civilization, we focused on summarizing the stuff we had learned lately, this comes after we had the weekend to forget about the Pop Quiz we had on Friday regarding Greece. Over the weekend I felt as if my interest in Greece slightly fainted yet I'm sure it will start up very soon. I believe what peeks my interest in Greece is the amazing design and structures; as a matter of fact, I enjoy their culture. Although there are still many things regarding Greece which we still don't know, nor likely ever will, I just find the subject very interesting in those aspects. With that said, I also take great interest in the politics, which are still quite unknown yet debated. We learned that a lot of the time, they would drink in a surplus (probably) and debate political issues which would have to be solved. Besides that, we spoke shortly about our upcoming Test which will blow our Pop-Quiz away as far as points. And while I look forward to Rome, I honestly don't know enou...

Today we took a pop quiz. No further comment on that. Besides that, we read a lot; in doing so I also need to improve not only my reading skills but my note-taking skills. That’s a really tough thing to do especially when I don’t even have the textbook. But luckily I was able to catch a few photos of the pages in my textbook so that I may continue my studies into the weekend. And while we were supposed to read about 6 pages, I was only able to read 3, which is probably because I’m trying to analyze everything and take it all in. I find that in doing so, I am able to understand my notes a lot more, but I need to take time to do that. Finally, we shorty discussed our next assessment, but this time a test. That test will likely be on Thursday so I will have plenty of time to study. In the meantime, I’m going to go over Mr. Schick's slide show presentation on his website then enjoy my weekend. And while I'm scared for the upcoming test, I'm certain that if I study using Quizle...

Yet another day passes in which we have to focus on Greece, a relatively fun subject. With that said, we pursued the structure in which the governments of Greece (which there are many) chose to rule over their people and the rights assigned to people. These rights were based mostly upon Gender and Land Ownership. Having plenty of land or being born in, lets says Athens, would likely grant you some sort of say in a political decision. As for the politics, we sure had some today in class, likely enlarged by me bringing up some politicians today who take a certain pay and pay the rest of their small salary back to the nation. I wondered if the same was true for these politicians (mostly kings and nobles) who served their public. But before I got to the question, I first asked about currency for their time, which I was informed by Mr. Schick was in ample circulation among the richer side of the population. This currency is what really intrigued me in addition to the reigns which have been ...

Like other days recently, we have been going over a lot of content regarding Greece. Though, I must say, most of what we've gone over recently is more of an analysis rather than new content which I was hoping for. It's also unfortunate that we have to keep our Ancient Civilization textbooks at school, for I would like to continue to learn about this subject (among others in the book). I don't understand why we have gone so in depth into the Allegory of the Cave, but honestly I do not mind. As I stated earlier, I think we analyze a lot in our class and this allegory just further proves that we do. While I was absent, I heard that the class watched a video on the Allegory of the Cave, which I am going to seek help on to watch so I'm up to speed on classes. Towards the end of class, I was finally able to put a finger on what made me so interested in Greece. That ended up being the construction and really all of what remains from Ancient Greece. I believe what startled me ...

Today, when I woke up I felt terrible. And as a precaution, I was kept home to make ensure the flu was out of my system for not only the fear of spreading it to students but to the family gathering being hosted at our house this weekend. With that said, I continue to research interesting aspects of Ancient Greece, even on youtube. Youtube has a lot of valuable information for studying that requires little effort to pull up.  With that said, I'm going to catch up on some sleep which I have been struggling to get.
