2-hour delay day

Today in Western Civilization we didn't really do much other than get a paper back and finish a worksheet we were supposed to finish because we had a 2-hour delay.

We also finished a worksheet we did Tuesday where we were the judge of a case back in the time of Hammurabi's Code. Then, we found out what Hammurabi actually put as his punishment.

Work day

Today in Western Civ. we worked on our project/presentation. We're supposed to go third on Thursday, but I don't know if my partner and I are going to be completely ready. But who cares right? My partner and I are leaving early tomorrow at 1:45 because we have a baseball game @ Calvert Hall and the bus leaves a 2:00. 15 minutes is enough to time to get ready for a game twice. I'm really excited for two reasons especially, the fact that it's going to be our first away game, and my uncle that I haven't gotten to see since last August is coming to see me play. This is the end of my post today.
