For those who do not know, Western Civ is the hardest class all OBU students take during their college career. All OBU sophomores take the same class, and the professors teach the same thing, we all read the same literature, and we all take our first test tomorrow. Thus this being the hardest class, these are the hardest tests I will ever take. Well, it is not exactly a test. I go in tomorrow and read a prompt that the professor gives you, and from there I have to write an entire essay over a certain part of Rome?s history, with dates, and writers from that time period, and intertwine that with The Aeneid all in one hour.
