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.

Today in this class we took a test. I don't think I did bad...I hope I didn't. There's not much to say for this blog so I'm going to talk about the test questions. They weren't too bad, but some didn't seem like we talked about them enough or put them in the study guide for the test. For example, I still don't know what degrees the Prime Meridian is located at. Also it's weird how different teachers form their test questions. Most people know that when you are taking a test, the bubbled answers are most likely not going to be in a row. But when I took this test, I know that about three of my answers were definitely right, and they were all like C's. It's just kind of tricky. But Mr. Schick would do something like that. I mean he gives us pop quiz's all the time. Why wouldn't he want to trick us and make our brains go crazy, right? Anyway, there still isn't much to talk about, so here is how I feel today's class went.

Today in human geography class we went over our tests that we recently took. I am proud to say that I no longer have an F in this class. I received an 85 on this test and feel very good with my work. I'm really not the F type so you can imagine that this grade sitting here for a week or two really made me a freak. After this, we talked more on the kiva.org project. Unfortunately I have not been able to make a donation yet, but will finish that tonight. I checked over the weekend to double check the people I had considered lending to, and found that both had either made their goal, or had run out of time. So tonight I will do a little more research and find another person to help out. I think this is a really great website to help those in need. It seems to be very effective. I hope you continue to make this an assignment for the rest of your teaching years!

Today in human geography class, we discussed questions that we wrote on our blog last night, and decided whether they were good enough to be a question asked on the test. After this we took pictures of the list that was on Mr. Schick's board. These are going to be the test questions according to him. In all honesty, when I heard we were having a quiz the last few days of the quarter, I was confused. What was the test going to be one? Had we learned enough to be having a test? This probably sounds bad to you, but I was not the only one thinking this. I'd also like to mention again that at this moment, I have 89% in four different classes. This class is not one of them. I have an A in this class, and would like to keep it that way. Just my luck. A test in a class, I don't even need one in. If we were having tests in the classes I need, I would't be complaining. Unfortunately that is not the case:( However, i still plan to do well on your test, so i don't lower my grad...
