Today in class we took a test on Ancient Greece, Socrates, and A Message to Garcia. I think I did pretty well. I know a couple are probably wrong. What sucks is that I knew one on the fill in the blanks answer started with an s and I just couldn't remember. So as soon as I turned in my test and looked in my notes for the answer, I knew it right away. That sucked. I hope the whole class gets an A (including me) but that is not likely. Over all, it seemed pretty easy, it just caught me on a few. I liked learning about Greece, but I would like to get further into the material, and learn a little more about the cultures. This test came pretty fast too, so maybe the next won't come so fast, though it would probably have more to answer on it. That's the downside. What are we learning next? I think some interesting topics to learn about would be the wars and the way people lived in different times back then. But maybe not so far back. It tends to seem like we always learn about the same time period in history classes. I'm looking forward to the next subject.

In human geography class today, we finished dividing our regions by the various similarities they shared. My group also noticed a mistake we had been making and fixed it. That was that we weren't exactly dividing the regions to their correct category. For example, when we compared the different maps of presidential votes, we mistakenly put a few states together that weren't always 100% together. Some might have gone democratic one year while the others might have gone republic. I also hadn't picked up that we could divide them up based on weather/temperature. This caught my eye on a few states that were out of place as well. This changes things! This is what also divides us into different cultures. Culture is what makes up a specific region or group of people based on customary beliefs, material traits, and social forms. With the knowledge of the different regions and why they are in that region, it can help us to define what kinds of people may live there. This is what I g...

Today in human geography class we looked at our test scores so far for the last test of the first quarter. I'm not impressed with my score so far and hope that my essay answers will help bump the score up.This test will most likely bring me down to a B so I will not have all A's this quarter which sucks. As much as I like this class, I'm glad I get to get out of some classes because I am a part of the Grease play this year. We will be having a preview on Thursday and shows Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is my first play and I am loving it so much! It's also going to be really good, I can already tell. So if you can come, you definitely should! Any way back to class, I enjoy these discussions on immigration and the different population around the world, and look forward to more discussions and theories.

1. Why is it important to know the time zones of the Earth? When traveling to a different state or country, you will need to know what time of day it is. Did you gain or lose hours? 2. Name one fact you learned about a certain country based on the CIA website we looked at in class. 3. How do the Peter and Mercator maps differ? Why are these maps different? Peter is the correct map according to size. Many notice that some of the countries on the Mercator map are not mapped according to the right size. Greenland is way off compared to it's original size. 4. Circadian Cycle?    Your body's natural and biological clock 5. Why is it important for geographers to research the culture of a region? 6.
