Another Day....

*sigh* If only I could run away from school like rain falls from the clouds, quick and painless. I'm in first period still, but everyone else hasn't finished their project and I've been done for awhile. I was just studying for my test in second period, which is Honors World History. Its about the big era six, including the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, the Columbian Exchange, and the discovery of the New World.
Did you know the main motivation for exploring the sea was because of "God, Glory and Gold"? Well it was. You see, the Chinese and Muslim world did not want sea exploration, leaving it completely open for the Europeans to take. Of course, the Europeans had help, with their advanced tools and immunity to dangerous diseases. The explorations led to the Great Dying, the Columbian Exchange, Slave Trade, Religious Reformation, Bureaucratic government and an increase in population.
The funny thing about the Columbian exchange is that it led to finding the new world, and it was an accident. Columbus had been wanting to find a quicker route to Asia so that trade could be cheaper and easier, as they were using the Muslims as the middle-men. The Columbian Exchange led to the exchange of ideas, plants, animals, spices, food, cloth, weapons and diseases. In case you didn't know from before, the Great Dying was the rapid death of the Natives in the New World due to diseases brought by the Europeans.
Not only do I have to complete 2 essay questions, but I also have to know my definitions for 10 words, that I can not put on here.

So thank you all for unofficially letting me use you all to help me study for my test, I bet I will do a lot better now. I actually feel a bit calmer now that I've done a big study-ish session. I took my medicine today, so I feel better than yesterday. PLUS, I'm half way through the week. Once I finish today, I only have two more days till the weekend. THANK GOD! I need another break. I finished the Anime Club drawing, they LOVED it! I was so happy they all liked it :)  Anyway, I have to go, talk to you all later
