Today was our first day of West Civ. We walked in and picked our new seats and observed all the new people in our course. There are some people from my old class and many new people. We started off by Mr. Schick telling the new people about his website and the new things about his class.
It wasn't hard for me because already knew how to work my blog. I have a good feeling western civ is going to be an enjoyable class.
