       During this class we had to turn the air down and I was really hot because I was wearing sweatpants and a flannel and I was VERY thirsty. BUTTTTTTT, Mr. Schick wouldn't let me go refill my water bottle. So, I sat there slowly dying from the inside out because I was so thirsty. However SOMEHOW I made it threw the class without passing out. For the rest of the class while I sat there slowly getting closer to death we talked about site and situation more. We talked about how back in the olden days Ellis Island in New York , which is now Manhattan, used to be half the size. It was such a great location that they wanted to make it larger, so they put trash and dirt in the water around it and aded to the island and then built on top of it.

       Today we were given a pop quiz on the regions of the world and the continents. It wasn't really very hard but I think I got two wrong. I haven't checked by comparing it to my other paper because I'm scared to look hahahah but I think I did a pretty okay job. After we took our quiz we discussed what we read about the other day when he wasn't there. He talked to us about the difference and then we talked about how different places even just around the U.S have different cultures. Like her in Maryland we eat crabs while people from other parts of the U.S don't eat them like us and think its kinda weird. We have this tradition because of our site. The Chesapeake Bay is located right within your state which is a great place to get them,, therefore thats why we eat them so much. Other places don't have that.

things that are important to a site include climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, attitude, and elevation.  site factors are essential when building new things like buildings and settlements humans have the ability to modify the characteristics of a location  situation is a valuable way to indicate location  situation helps us find an unfamiliar place by comparing it to a familiar one  we give directions according to situation situation helps us understand the importance of a location situation helps with trading 

Today in class we spent a lot of the class checking out blogs with Mr. Schick. He gave us feedback on wha we should be changing and what we were doing well . He told me that my blog was great and he liked the way I had things set up. He also told me he liked my hook on my blog about our nothing class. He asked me if he could read it to the class and I said yes and they laughed. It was " Today I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the room and I didn't start immediately sweating." Then we went over our maps of the regions. I got almost all of them right except Southeast Asia I think.

       Today to start off class we watched the fire drill video that the tv production class made during our first fire drill. It was a really good video and I'm proud of our tv production class for making such a great video. https://jcpatriot.com/video/2017/09/20/first-fire-drill-held-with-new-changes/  After we all watched the video we talked about things that make places in the world unique. Each place on earth is in some respects unique and another ways similar to other places. The interplay between the uniqueness of each place and the similarities among places lies at the heart of geographic questioning about why things are found where they are. Two basic concepts help geographers to explain why very point on earth is in one way unique---- place and region. The difference between two concepts is partly a matter of scale: A place is a point, whereas a region is an area.

       Today I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into class and I didn't immediately start sweating. Turns out we had got a new air conditioner over night or yesterday or this morning or something. Doesn't really matter to me when we got it but we did and I love it!! It was the first time in a while that I've been in that class without having to put my hair up or roll up my sleeves and it was great. Also, another thing that makes it even better is that were calling it faith! Its named after me! She's great, kinda loud, but she's super cool. Aside from all the excitement that splurged from the new air conditioner or faith I guess I should call her, he had kind of a fun class. We took a lit bit of notes and drew some maps. We drew maps of our drive to school in the morning and of the world. The notes we took were,, A mental map is a persons point-of-view perception of their area of interaction, most commonly called your activity space.

        Today's class was so much fun. He gave us time to do our homework which was really great because I had a long night. It was good day though. My first class I opened my laptop an there was a note on it that my brother had left that said "Have a Great Day Love You!" It really made my day because he left yesterday and I was a sad about it. He lives in New York so I don't get to see him that much. It was really good to see him or the weekend. The note was so sweet of him and I'm so happy he did it. But the res of my day was also really good. Human Geo we got to do our homework and and listen to music so that was great. Also, in intro to bible we played Kahoot and it was really fun. I got first place one of the times!! My other classes were good but kinda boring though but not hard. Right now I'm facetiming this really annoying kid that wot leave me alone and he's a fatty mcbutter butt. But were really good friends and he's not really annoying I...
