Essay- due Friday, take home essay typed times new roman 12 font double space 3-4 pages. 5 paragraph essay format 15 lines of type for a paragraph tops

Which civilization is more advanced?

China vs Europe

Sequencing (not the right order)

~Conversion of clovice

~Death of Genghis khan

~Magna carta

~Williams conquest of England

~Battle of tours significant to European because martel stopped muslim invasion

~Crowning of Charlemagne

~Ivan the IV proclaims himself Czar

~Ottoman’s conquest of Constantinople

~Muhammad’s vision of Gabriel

~Justinian quelling of the nika revolt

~Baptism of Vladimir

~End of Babylonian Captivity

~Conclusion of 100 years war

Church Critics- Jan Hus, John Wycliffe (wealth, lifestyle, corruption gave birth)

Accused of heresy…executed

Habsburgs-Problem of being holy Roman empire- prestige yet no real power bc they always choose someone who does not have a lot of land to support themselves.

Only successful Crusade was the First and 3^rd led to capture of John who has to sign the Magna Carte and makes England vassal of papacy

Fourth crusade-pope excommunicated army that invades that invades Constantinople

Marovingians –dynasty established by Clovis. Pos. of true power in France falls to mayor in the palace. Charles Martel(Battle of Tours) Pepin the Short. Pepin has pop crown him to show that the Pope needs him, Pope gets him back by reminding Pepin he does need him to crown him. Pepin turns over responsibilities to Pope which eventually damages the Church.

Pepin is Charlemagne’s dad. Charles Martel is Charlemagne’s grandpa

Economy began to rise again because the power of the king was growing trade is growing and then towns became established…crusades helped all of this. Needed leader, want for exotic goods->these both lead to development of town

Babylonian captivity vs western schism

^time period in which papacy is in france….western takes place after when two people are claiming to be pope and one pope.

English and French politics-1000-350-growth of national monarchs in England because william conqueror sets up feudalism different

France alliances and lords that have died out are claiming lands-capetians

Byzantine empire- continuance of roman empire-eastern-lasts for another thousand years lasts after fall of roman emperor-preserver of roman law-introducer of Christianity to the east-overtime becomes much more Greek then it was roman—provides shield of the east against the advancement of Islam.

Constantine chose Constantinople because of natural barriers location of eastern provinces, trade routes

Kievan Russia- first Viking settlement was in Novragad, doesn’t have river that attaches to black sea which leades to Constantinople soo they move the settlement to Kieva, princes become very powerful. Vikings came as traders. Slavs petition Vikings for help. They then become nobles and slavs become peasants. Wealth and power is based upon trade with constantinople. Vladimir converts to Christianity.

Medieval monasticisms-Benedictine rule, chastity poverty and obedience, benedict establish manastic order, established hostils served as hospital and institution of education

Al-Kwharmis-founder of algebra Euclid is to geo as he is to algebra

Growth of European Monarchies—eurpoean monarchs grew: trade and merchants who support marachy, crusades b/c of wealth and central gov needed to go on crusades and growth of towns: didn’t fit anywhere in pyramid and sided with kings. Final stumbling block: 100’s year war—death of many ppl with power, French aren’t struggling with themselves etc.

Anglo Saxons—European peoples—invade England after fall of roman empire—set up

Wessex, Northtumbria(?) and one other one

Organization of Church—pope, bishops priests etc.

Frankish Kings in church—know the fact that papacy begins to call upon Frankish kings for protection

Divisions of islam-suni and shihi

Suni- Islamic community interprets Quaran

Shihi-Ihman (direct descendent of Ali) has ability to interpret Quaran

Debate between Boniface VIII and Philip IV= whether king can tax the clergy. Philip IV believed they could

Louis XI- convinces swiss to go to war with burgundians- roles into burgundy and takes half of burgundy- universal spider

Paple and Imperial struggle- holy roman emperors vs pope- lay investiture, Henry III’s appointment of 3 popes because they wont do what he wants, Popes support of lumbarg league because he doesn’t want holy roman emperor to gain control of papacy

Concordance of worms- made to solve lay investiture- temporary solution

Central beliefs of islam- six pillars.

Reason for muslim invasion of India?

Seige warfar from casticism?

oook so the breaks over and school started again, gotta love it...not really.

break was fun, worked a lot though but made some money, also spent a lot on presents n such.

ill put it out here right now..yes i hit a deer, yes it messed my car up a little, and yes..the deer died...i think those are the 3 questions that i've heard the last couple of days a million times so just wanted to clear that up a little.

i got a membership to the y and have been working out. i have to say i enjoy it...a lot. and it always seems to put me in a better mood. maybe it's just the fact that i lift with samantha, but who knows. im getting some of my muscle back and hopefully ill be in good shape by next volleyball season.

club volleyball is getting better, we have a tournament in KC on sunday so we'll see how that goes! my coach finally found out that i play middle..its about time! so now im actually playing the position i like so its all good.

hmm, alright. now for the main thing thats been bothering me. and some other people i know as well....
Guys. (ha..bet you saw that one coming!) i've come to the conclusion that there are few guys out there who actually have true, genuine respect for females.-> let's just say i got into a bad situation over the break...and iono, shit happened.(not that bad at all, but it had no meaning behind it.. which made it worst) i was used, and i guess i can only blame myself for getting into a situation like that which could have been prevented. It just showed me how careful girls have to be around people.
that was the first situation...now iono if this falls under the respect category or what but it just pretty much sucks-> when guys know that a girl likes them...they seem to take advantage of the situation. even if they have no intent of dating the girl, they will lead them on just to "get some" i've seen it happen a million times-> girl likes a guy, guy doesnt feel the same way yet ends up kissing the girl, this makes the girl think he likes her, guy quits talking, girl is left hurt and guy just doesnt care...pleasant cycle huh? now don't get me wrong, i know not all guys are like this so dont go lecturing me saying you're not like that. if you're not, good.
ya..it happened to me at one time, ill admit it. and it sucks. but ill give guys credit, they're good at making us believe what they want us to. and now..iono i just see it pointless to even try. maybe dating isnt meant for high school? or maybe im just not mature enough to handle a relationship and fall to fast and easily for people who arent right for me before i get to know them. who knows? but all i do know is that through every time this happens (or any negative situation) i learn something new from it, either about myself or others. Maybe thats the point of dissapointment or failure, to teach us something.
--and to any girls who have/are dealing with this...hang in there, you're stronger then you think.

ya...enough rambling, just some of my thoughts. comment if you wanna.

tell me, do you think i'm falling for him? all he
means to me is a really good friend; someone
who can make me laugh, make me smile, someone
who i can joke around with, someone i can be
myself with. all he is to me is the person who gave
me back my smile

I can't fight anymore..
we'll be together someday if we're truly meant to be.

every beginning has an end but
in life every end is a new beginning

doesnt it suck when he knows just how you feel about him and he doesnt do a thing about it because he just doesnt care.

life is about trusting your feelings & taking chances, loosing & finding happiness.appreciating the memories & learning from the pain & realizing that people always change

i don`t forgive people because i`m weak
i forgive them because i`m strong enough
to understand people make mistakes

heres what's happened lately-

i got my car

me n my dad are fixing up my wrecked one

got 2 hours of sleep last night, i was up late working on english.(4:30 am)

didn't even get to present it today.

got in a "disagreement" with my bestest friend, yelled for around an hour
we were perfectly fine two seconds later.
             (now that is a good friendship)

ate at chipotle on monday, it was good.

got to talk to ryan. it's been over a month (he's been grounded)
       let's just say, things change.

worked a lot this week and ill be working more next week.

finals are next week.

christmas is in 9 days.

i think i like someone.
       not sure if he feels the same though.

i went running tuesday.

im still sick.

i miss a lot of my friends that i used to hang out with.

i hate computer apps and new testament.

soo its been like what about a month since i've updated? hmm i guess it's about that time...

well, i've been working and studying pretty much. I also made the 17's shockwave volleyball team so i can't wait for that to start up we're gonna be doing a lot of traveling. possibly tournaments are in austin texas, denver colorado, indianapolis, topeka, kansas city, and some city in oklahoma and maybe one in nebraska

umm lets see what else...oo two fridays ago, i got in a car wreck and totaled my car. it wasn't my fault though so the bitches insurance paid for it. i hate people who are incapable of driving and pull out in front of people though. buuuuut, now im the owner of one of these!

yuup 1994 chevy camaro thats not my car, but thats what it looks like. and i get it on friday i think because they lost the title to it so they sent for a new one.

ook one last thing...

I've changed. I'm well aware of it and i don't need people telling me this. I used to be the little shy good girl who got straight a's and never did anything wrong. I never stood up for what i thought was right and i just let people do whatever. Now im way more outspoken and not afraid to tell people whats on my mind. I've matured a shit ton as well and my responsiblities have increased. I have to work and pay for everything on my own. This has lead to a change in my personality and values too. I'm coming to the realization that there is an enormous amount of people in this world who are immature and are just plain stupid and there is nothing i can do about it so i dont worry about other people as much anymore. My friends, of course, ill always be there for them but other people...theres no point in wasting my time worrying about them.

annyways...comment if you wanna i guess.

<cheesy..i know.

soo this weekend was fun. good at times, not so hot at other times but i guess that's life right?

i love how there is no such thing as privacy...
once one person knows
everyone knows.

i do however need to thank the mature people in this situation, i think you know who you are.

<i think we've all felt like that at one time. lol

sometimes.. u gotta
b r e a k..the rules
and ... s t a n d.. apart
ignore.. your head and
follow your h e a r t

it`s not about the friends in the past
it`s about the ones that actually last

2nd chances

Read the post below this too, i did them as two seperate ones to get the pictures off the last post.
