Simple Can Be Awesome

In history class, we're learning about ancient Greece, which makes me happy because mythology is a component of that and I LOVE Greek mythology. ^_^

And you know what? In class today I made a killer (no pun intended) Spartan warrior and on Friday I'll make my Athenian. (Can't wait to get pictures!) So really...the simple things can be quite awesome indeed...

Woo! Here's for being simple! :)
