When I first walked into human geo I realized that the classroom was surprising warm. This was nice because it is really cold outside and most of the first floor is too. I hope that we get off school tomorrow and maybe even Friday. Then we all got mints because a classmate had a bunch left over from advisory, so overall class was off to a good start. Today in class we started off by reviewing the qualities of an independent State. Then we watched a cartoon video of all the countries in the world. And finally, we got the information for our world leaders project and got to start it.
Today in class we started by reviewing yesterdays research points and we especially went over Socrates. I learned that he actually thought that philosophers should run the government because they were more educated. Then we talked about the definition of idiot, the Greeks used it as a way to describe people who weren't involved in their government and community. They were viewed as dishonorable.

It gave those who were absent time to make up the test in class so that they all got caught up and now we’re all on the same page. Anyone else was able to do homework or any other school activities that they needed to do. It was a nice chance to be able to have some time to get things done. I did my French homework and I finished that! That was very helpful because now I don't have to do that later durning my free mod. I have my free later today but now I can use that time for math homework and hopefully I will be able to get that done. Then I checked my emails and wrote this blog. I hope that I got a good grade on my test because it's important because it's our first test. I'm also hoping the rest of the class did good so that we can have a pizza party. Even though today was a free day, I still fel...
