The success of Testing Tuesday in Togas
We had a test today. One of the joys of being in Curriculum Two, this college’s non-honors honors program, is that they occasionally load the world on your shoulders in an effort to “weed out the bad ones,” so to speak. {There are also lots of real joys such as bloody broomball competitions, field trips, overnight retreats, complimentary coffee and doughnuts…etc.} This week, a paper was due yesterday. A test in that same class was scheduled for today, and tomorrow, another test is scheduled for a different class that is in the same program. Stress city! It’s ok though. The material we have covered isn’t very hard. Actually, since I’ve studied it many many times before, it’s not hard at all. Thank you Mr. Lenzini, Mr. Engstrom, Mr. Moran, Mr., Flanagan, and all those great religion and history teachers I’ve encountered over the years in Catholic grade school!
So anyways, about the test today- All four sections of my History/Western Civ class met in one of the banquet rooms in the campus center to take this test on Rome: The Roman Monarchy, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire. We decided to take our learning to heart and do something odd and fun that only C-Two students do…
Seeing as Romans wore togas, we, The Toga Committee sent out an email encouraging the 64 people in the class to wrap themselves in bed sheets for the test. Unfortunately, we ended up sending the email to our teachers, so it wasn’t a surprise, but the day was still amusing. We actually had about twenty people show up wrapped in blue, green, yellow, cherry print, and fluorescently polka-dotted sheets. Some of them stayed up better than others. *Woe to the short persons who kept tripping over the hems of theirs. Woe also to those who had no pin to secure their sheet in a stable position. * It went remarkably well, all things considered, and was a lot of fun.
As for the test itself… We’re not going to talk about that.
