Todays Class

Today was our first class of Western Civilization. My classroom changed and also many students are gone and many new students are with me. In class today Mr Schick explained the blogs that he does for the new students that have never had him as a teacher. Since the schools internet wasn't working in class we tried several times to create blogs in class but many peoples didnt work so we had to save it till we got home. Im looking forward to this class this semester.
