Yet another test

Today in Human Geo, we took a test on microfinance. It was really easy surprisingly! We had a really good review which helped me a lot. I really think that I got an A. One answer on the test made me laugh. The question was something like what is one of the problems with kiva. One of the answers was the people in the pictures are really actors. That made me laugh. The class average was a 93% that is pretty awesome if you ask me! SO WOOOHOO GO SECTION 7!!!

Another Day in Section 7 Human Geo

Today in Human Geo, it was basically a normal everyday human geo class. Mr. Schick presented his power point, that he made to the class. That took up the whole class. After that we just kind of sat around and talked. Jordan was making dumb power point but they were pretty well made. Mr. Schick told her that he was going to try to put the one she made of microfinance on his website, and she got really excited. It's funny how excited she gets over the little things. Well, we don't have class tomorrow so I'll see you on Friday.

Break At Last!!

Today in Human Geo, we basically did whatever we wanted to do. My friends and I listened to music, talked, and did some homework. It was a pretty great class. Mr. Schick wasn't in there too long because he had to go do the end of the day announcements. Having Human Geo was a pretty great way to start off the break, because it wasn't even like a real class! Well HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! HAVE A GREAT BREAK AND BE SAFE!!!

The CRAZY Class

Okay, so today in Human Geo, the whole class worked on a PowerPoint at the same time. It was crazy in the beginning, all we did was chat each other, but after a little while, we started to get to work. It definitely wasn't smooth sailing. People kept deleting things and wouldn't admit it was them, Laura would make the background to all the slides a picture of herself, and Jordan added a cowboy to the backgrounds at one point. It was a pretty amusing class, not going to lie. Some people cough cough John were getting really mad when we went on their slide, when we were just trying to help. It was pretty funny though. Today's class was a good one! I hope we do something like that tomorrow.

Winner

On Friday, in Human Geo, we continued to work on the Peace Corpse Challenge. Jordan won the game in my group, but no one else did, which was kind of sad. As we were working on the game, we listened to some great 80's tunes, which got us in a good mood. I'm telling you whenever I listen to 80's music it put me in a good mood. I really wish music today was more like that. Anyways, it was a pretty good class. Honestly, I like working in groups a lot because you can get different perspectives on the topic. See ya Monday!

Another day with the Peace Core Challenge

Today in Human Geo, we worked on the Peace Core challenge. It is actually pretty tough. I am not very good at it. I just wanted to rush through it and get it over with, but that was not the point. We were supposed to take the time to actually read what the people we "talking" to. I honestly don't have the patience for those kinds of games. My group and I played some pretty good music while we were doing the game, which was pretty nice. We were jamming out to Tracy Chapman. Overall, it was a pretty good class.
