Today in Human geography class, we researched different places around the world and gave cool facts on them. At first I went to the wrong website and found out that you can legally marry a dead person, true or not, I think that's a really weird and interesting. When that fact was shut down I discovered that the school life expectancy was 17 years for girls and only 16 for boys. Is that weird? To me that seems weird. Why does gender matter when it comes to what year you can stop going to school? In the United States it is 16 for everyone. It makes me wonder what makes them think girls should have to be in an extra year before dropping out. But anyway, aside from today's class assignment, I found out that I got a 50 on your quiz, so not as good as I hoped.

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.
