Today's class was a little disappointing. You have done it again Mr. Schick. Pop quiz here pop quiz there....it's no biggie, we will survive. But seriously! You're actually killing me. On your last pop quiz I thought I failed and actually ended up doing pretty good so here's hoping for this one. I have to say I'm not enjoying this unit as well as I thought I would. However, I do like learning the different continents. It must seem silly to people who don't live in the

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?

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.

Today in human geography class, we got our pop quizzes back. hahahahahhahahahah once again, I have failed it. Maybe I would be able to pay attention more in this class if I was actually proud of my work. Maybe the reason I have trouble paying attention is because I might not be enjoying what I am learning. Which sucks because if I'm going to be in school, I should be engaged in my school work. Bur since I am a hard worker, my goal is to just try and focus better. I'm really not trying to spend my time in this class trying to focus and then fail the exam. So I guess the only thing to do is to study the work. But that leads to another problem. There isn't much to study from.
