      Today in western civ. we did a worksheet on different vocab words. This was helpful because it gave extra vocab words that I may have missed when I was taking notes.The ancient Egypt test is also Monday and you said it would be like the Mesopotamia quiz. I did not really like the Mesopotamia quiz format because it was worth so much points but only fifteen questions. I was OK with the questions on it because everything was in the textbook, but I did not like the spelling part. I know one of them I got wrong was the wrong answer, but spelling uncommon challenging words it very annoying. I used to not believe people when they said English was a hard language, but I am starting to realize that they are correct. After taking German, I realized how organized and concrete their language is. It is almost like math with pronunciation. For example: "ei" always makes and "i" sound and "ie" always makes an "e" sound. So as long as you know the rules, you can write out any German word. I am able to spell out "informatikaufgaben" with out even looking up the spelling, and I cannot even spell English words like "museum" or "accommodate." I can already foresee you making us spell "pharaoh" or "Tutankhamen" on  the test and I will do word triangles again just like I did in third grade. Of course I am not mad with my grade, I still have an A, I am just mad why I got that grade.
