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 class you surprised me with a pop quiz that I was not very happy about. I hope I passed it. I wasn't ready at all. As Iv'e mentioned in recent blogs, I know very little on geography. I don't even know where Siberia or Brazil are and I defintily don't know what kind of people there are. But i'm not so worried about that, because I believe that you can't really know anything about a different place in the world unless you have actually been able to go there and experience it. I hope I am fortunate to travel the world someday. But because I probably won't be able to see the whole thing, I'd at least like to go somewhere out of the country! It's funny because most people who have a lot of money spend it on nice things. Nice things are nice, but I would use the money in a more beneficial way for myself. I guess some people just don't understand that a big part of our life is learning and discovering new things. That's why we are here afte...

Today in human geography class, we discussed the past, present, and future. This led us to talking about how there is a time difference in different regions throughout the world. Now what if we all went by the same time? I guess the better questions is why don't we all go by the same time already? If you think about it, it's actually really strange, but we don't think it is because we are used to it. The reason we don't go by the same time throughout the world is because it may be 12:00 in one place and be daylight but in another it could be the same time, but dark. This is the best way so everyone can experience the same times of day. We really are strange people aren't we if you think about it. Though this might not be an interesting topic to some, it certainly makes me think of our world very differently on how we adapt to our ways of life. I mean it's only been a little over 100 years since we've been living through time like this! Great lesson today, lo...

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. With the knowledge of the different regions and why they are in that region, it can help us to define what kinds of people may live there. This is what I g...
