History Class

Dear family,

I got back my history midterm today. I already knew I had gotten all of the map right. To do that, I just had to know where everything on the globe was, and what names the places had in the 1800s. Then there were four short answers and one essay. With the short answers, he offered several topics and we had to pick one and write what we knew on it -- for example, the Opium War. I got 10 points on two, and 9 points on the other two. The essay was worth fifty points, half the test grade. I wrote about different ideologies and how these affected history. And I got fifty points! My teacher said it was the best test he had ever seen. I was really proud of myself.
