Today in Human Geography class, we discussed population and settlement. How we discussed this was from an online site that showed the average number of people in the world being birthed and who were dying that day. The first time I saw the data of this average I was at a field trip in sixth grade. The reason I remember this is because I thought it was so cool how the numbers were changing so quickly. I was less educated then, and now know that it wasn't completely accurate. People weren't behind computers collecting data on the exact number of people entering and exiting. So after seeing how many people were in the world, and how it keeps accelerating, what do we do when the earth cannot hold anymore people? PURGE?!?! That would suck. But I'm not sure and I guess I'll never know. We will all probably be really old or dead people by then...:( This was today's class, looking forward for more discussion

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.
