Today in class we went deeper into the discussion of what site and situation mean and a few examples of each. But since I've already gone over what they mean, I'll just give more examples of how we explained them more thoroughly today. One example of how we explained these was through ships. Mr. Schick told us that he has a friend who was a ship pilot and travels the world delivering and receiving different resources for countries around the world. This wouldn't be possible without a place for the ship to load and unload it's resources. That is a good example for site because since we have access to the harbor in Baltimore we can send ships. A good example of situation is Washington D.C. Washington depends on it's tourists for Presidential sites and museums. These are the two explained a little better. I feel I've grasped these definitions and examples a little better since our discussions in class. However, a test still seems to much for right now and what I know.

Today in human geography class we went over expected questions that should be on the exam. We were also fortunate enough to receive what the essay question will be on the exam. We went over it and it has made me feel more prepared for this exam. I will definitely be studying that, it should be a few easy points. I'm glad we had this "review day" before exams, I think it really has helped me in order to successfully pass the test. At least I hope so....

Today in human geography class, we discussed the different parts of a country. Throughout the class we realized what important features make up a country. For example, a nation is a group of people who share similar things like religion, language, and other cultural similarities. We also discussed how our culture has changed. An example would be fast food. During Mr. Schick's childhood, there was probably only just beginning a McDonald's. This McDonald's also wasn't even a drive-thru, but you walked in and then got your food in minutes. Today we have tons of fast food restaurants. Another cultural quality that has changed is sundays. For many Sundays were seen as a rest day. Therefore, many buuildings weren't open. Today we see this only rarely. Banks, and a Chick-fil-a. This is what we learned in class today.

Today in human geography class, we took our world leaders test. I think I did okay, but not great. I need to do good on this, or else my grade will go down and I won't make the A I was aiming for in this class. If not...well there is always next quarter. I think to get all A's in every class, I need to step up my studying and get everything right in my head. I'm tired of half studying and not knowing whether or not I will pass or do good on a test.
