Today in class we started off by getting our pop quizzes back... I didn't too very well but I still have an A in the class overall, so that's good at least. Then we went exploring on the CSI website and we researched each country. Every student in the class had to find one new interesting fact about a country of their choice. The facts were all unique.. they ranged from culture to language, or agriculture to drugs. I picked the United States and my fact was that we are the largest consumer of cocaine in the world. We went around the room and everyone got to share their interesting fact and with each fact Mr. Schick went into a little detail and talked about it more in depth and why it was important and how it effects the country and others. Overall I would say today's class was very interesting.

A Message to Garcia and my five point action plan

A Message to Garcia is a wonderful story of hard work and excellence. It is written by Elbert Hubbard about two men with completely different life styles. While one is a hard worker and wonderful man, the other is simply a slacker. He is incompetent and never seems to get his work done, no matter how big or important the task. After reading this, at first is was hard to understand, but after re-reading you finally get to see how much a persons will to work really effects them and other people. In this case doing your work quickly and efficiently could mean life or death for others. So, when you don't do your work the way it is intended to be done, there are going to serious consequences that follow. Another consequence could be getting a bad reputation just like one of the characters Elbert Hubbard is ranting about. If you tend to slack off more in work it will hurt you, others and your future immensely. Others won't want to hire you, therefore you will have a great struggle fi...

Today in Human Geo we took a test. I studied last night and felt pretty prepared, so when I did take it I was pretty confident and knew most the answers. Also we had a few minutes in the beginning of class to review notes quickly. The test did take up the whole class so when I finished I wrote this blog. I think I did pretty good on the test overall…maybe not a 100% but I think I got an A or B. We had 25 multiple choice questions and one essay. The essay was a choice between two questions; Why does America make products overseas, and what does “think global, act local” mean and give an example. I chose the second question because I wasn’t in class when we talked about making products overseas and I felt as though I could explain the question better. I feel like I did a pretty good job on explaining it and most likely got a good grade. Overall, I hope that I got an A on this test because my grade is a 91% right now and I don’t want it to be brought down to a B the d...

When I first walked into human geo I realized that the classroom was surprising warm. This was nice because it is really cold outside and most of the first floor is too. I hope that we get off school tomorrow and maybe even Friday. Then we all got mints because a classmate had a bunch left over from advisory, so overall class was off to a good start.  Today in class we started off by reviewing the qualities of an independent State. Then we watched a cartoon video of all the countries in the world. And finally, we got the information for our world leaders project and got to start it.
