Today in class we started our intro into greece. I love greek things (ESPECIALLY BAKLAVA YUMMMMMMM). Mostly we ended up talking about Stonehenge and how in the world they ever got the stones on top of stones to create that megalith. Other than that, we took notes and we started making a powerpoint on google documents. I'm gonna post some important notes. wooo.
