Today in class we started talking about Egypt.  For the first part we talked about how Egypt's dictator finally stepped down from power.  Everyone in Egypt was very excited.  It was a very important day in history because the Egypt will probably become a democracy now.  Mr. Schick said that the only way all the news got out about Egypt is because of Twitter and Facebook.  So for the first time in history social networking sites changed a government.  Then we talked about ancient history.  We had to look up anything we were interested in.  I looked up hieroglyphics.  I always thought they were really cool because it is a whole language made out of pictures.  I just think it is a cool concept.
