Oh so scandalous , Henry

Henry VIII. He was the man who had six wives. There were three Annes, one Jane, one Katherine, and one Catherine. So today's period in Euro AP was literally the best period. It was full of scandalous stories of affairs and events during the English Reformation. It was too funny and sad when Ms. Davis came to the part where he was set up to marry a woman named Anne Cleves, who was a German princess. When he finally met her, he immediately demanded for a divorce. Why? Oh, we were told that she just wasn't the most appealing thing on Earth, so Henry VIII couldn't stand another minute around her.

What more? Katherine Howard, was definitely this promiscuous teenager that liked to go "bed-hopping" from time to time. She eventually got her head chopped off because it was considered to be a treason and plus she really had the nerves to cheat, cheat , cheat on the King.

P.S. It was nice adapting to a new partner today against Silver Creek in Tennis. I liked Christina as my doubles partner and the score turned out to be 6-3, 6-4. I really have a lot to work on. Thanks to everyone who came out to support though! Thanks for packing up my homework on the other end for me Lin. Thanks for the chocolate sprinkled doughnut as well. Happy Thanksgiving.
