Today Socrates had us draw a mental map of the world and of a route from our house to John Carroll. I couldn't get past Thomas Run Rd.

I almost forgot the newest addition to our class; "Faith". I almost forgot that our class complained so much that we finally got a new AC unit. I think that most of us thought of the whole AC thing as more of a joke but today we were surprised by a new Faith. It was really odd though because when I walked in it was cold. It was weird and unsettling until Socrates showed us that we actually got a new one. Now we don't have to walk into a steamy room and walk out sweating.

Your welcome for pointing that out Socrates.

Who was Homer? Homer was a Greek poet who lived between 4...
