This Is Sparta!

The biggest unit in 5th grade at my school is on ancient Greece.  We actually do a simulation.  We were split in to Greek cities!  I am in Sparta, just like my brother was.  There's a point system called Hellaspoints, based off of Hellespont.  We get points for the projects we do.  WE ARE GOING TO BEAT ATHENS! 
Louder!

WE ARE GOING TO BEAT ATHENS!

LOUDER!

WE ARE GOING TO BEAT ATHENS!

Much better.




Do Not Fear! I Am Here!

Where have I been the past two weeks? Let's see... Rome, Croatia, Athens, Olympia, Sicily, and Turkey. And Corfu. (Even though I didn't get off the boat to go.) Which brings me to WHY I was gone on the Eastern Mediterranean. I was on a cruise. There. I said it. HAPPY? Of course you aren't. Was it for a special occasion? A little. Was it so that I could experience culture? I dunno. Was it 'cause I have the greatest grandparents in the world? Well, DUH! I liked Athens best. It was AWESOME. Okay! Bye!
