Today was very nice because Kelsie brought in candy which was very good and I wanted to eat so many but I had to control myself. I only ate two and I was really trying just to eat one but I had to. Other than that the test went rally well I think. Im not sure I did AMAZING on the multiple choice but I think I did pretty okay. There was only like two I was iffy on. I forget what they were not but if I didn't I would put them in here. However, for the essay I think I did really well honestly. I think I thought of a very good example and explained it really well and came up with a very detailed answer. Also, I used an answer we didn't go over in class it was right from my own brain which makes it even better... or worse if it was actually really bad. But I doubt it cause it sounded pretty good to me :)))

    Today I'm human geo it was a really sad day. We spent the first about maybe 20 minutes talking about mr. schicks day yesterday putting his puppy down. It was really sad and even maddie and sydney and Kelsie started crying. It was really sad and I felt so bad. But after we got over talking about that we started talking about global warming. We all shared our opinions and talked about if it was really real or not. Chase told us about his science teacher who didn't believe it was real and our weather just goes through hot and cold phases. It got me thinkigand this is like random but if  one day we all die from our environment if reincarnation is for real then what will happen.

At a local scale, such as an urban neighborhood, geographers tend to see unique features.  At the global scale, encompassing the entire world, geographers tend to see broad patterns.  Think global, act local meant that the environment was being harmed by processes such as global warming that were global in scale, but it could be improved by actions, such as consuming less gasoline, that were local in scale Think  and act GLOBAL AND LOCAL is a better way to think the scale depends on the situation Globalization scale is very important  globalization is a force  or process that involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide in scope... means that the scale of he world is shrinking in the case of abilities of people and things Globalization: the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale. the act or process of globalizing: the ...
