So my day was very fun. I got to take another test in class. I think I did pretty well on it. We reviewed the Rome and Greek test. I didn't do so well on the Rome one but when we were reviewing for the Greek one I think I did pretty sure. We will see about that one. Tomorrow I am not sure what we will be doing in class. Hopefully something fun.
