Holly Human Geography

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 what a day of exams would look like, in the hopes to prepare us for what will probably be a few of the worst days this year. Not to mention that I spent most of my weekend studying for the tests, and got only about two done. Everyone is making exams seem like a big deal (and they are) but they are only 20% of our grades, so if I do terribly bad, I probably won't be ruined. So even though I shouldn't be stressing too much, I am. This weekend was also the worst head ache I've had in a really long time so can you tell that I'm excited to review thee last subjects?!?!

Today in human geography class we had a sub teacher. She seemed really strict and did not talk much. Our assignment was to study for our exams. I will gladly do this now rather than at home, because I have no motivation to study or make study sets at home. It must be something to do with tv. Right now I am in the middle of watching Riverdale Season 2. If you haven't watched it before...DO. Also watch Stranger Things because that is my most favorite show in the whole world. Sad I have to wait a whole year again for season 3. In the car today on the ride to school with my dad, we started talking about how there aren't huge books series coming out anytime soon. Book making will soon come to an end becuase people just aren't interested anymore in reading. It's a shame because I love reading. However, I also love movies. Nowadays if you want to be a story teller, writing books is not the best way to do it, but being apart of Hollywood and making movies is where it is at.

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.

Today in human geography class we had a pop quiz.............once again!!! The more I come to this class, the more I start to not like it. Sorry if you are reading this, but do't take it personally. I don't know. It's just your teaching style. I am the type of person who usually seems to be able to get an A in a class where the teacher teaches with notes on the board and we just listen. But it seems that writing these down in a notebook isn't exactly helping me study. I also feel that I can not stay focused in you class. Also I can't seem to understand why we are having a test the week of exams.

Today in human geography class we looked at more graphs. Each graph differs based on personal things that might happen in that country. For example wars, women going to college. Another one that surprised me was birth control. When birth control got more popular and people didn't think it was dangerous, it slowed down the birth rate of many countries. Ages 15-19 are about 1/4 of the population of births. Since a lot of girls nowadays use birth control then years ago, the birth rate for girls our age is most likely smaller. There are many other different things that factor into why our populations look as they do, tune in for more blogs.
