Hello,
Today in class we did nothing productive. This is always great though. Today we talked about Mr. Schick and all of the things that he did in school. Most of the stories were him being a bad kid and how he used to throw things in class, then get in trouble. He told a story about how he used to throw gumby across the room to his friend and try to not get the teacher to see. Another thing was that he didn't do this just once, but he did it twice. Another thing that he did was that he went to the bathroom one time and flush the toilets so much that he overflowed all of them. Eventually the water from the toilets came all of the way out into the hallway. I thought that all of the these stories were hilarious and a bunch of other people to share stories of their own which were also funny. I have a story that I wanted to tell in class but did not get too, hopefully I may be able to share it when we all get back from Thanksgiving Break! I'm so glad that we won't have classes for another 5 days and when we come back we will be close to exams. When we come back I should start getting ready for our Human Geo Exam and hope to do great on that.
I so glad for the break and next Human Geo class on Monday I hope is great

Micro-finance Powerpoint!
Hello,
Today we started a micro-finance power point. This wasn't like any other power point though. Mr. Schick made a blank presentation and our class had to fill in all of the slides. We all thought that this would be an easy thing to do. Even Mr. Schick thought that this would work. Unfortunately, the other class that did this power point had no problems coordinating with each other and they got most of the power point done. Our class however couldn't coordinate at all. We tried to make a list of topics for the power points, Erica, Grace, and I. Even though we did this no one coordinated. I think the lot of the blame goes to Arri. He is honestly no help and ended up just yelling at Grace when she was trying to help him. So this class definitely did not go as planned and I hope tomorrow's class is better.

Sub Today!
Hello,
Today Mr. Schick wasn't here! This was a shame because toady was the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. I thought that if he was here would could have a discussion on this topic. I saw a show last night that was questioning the assassination and was talking about certain police and crime scene investigators still trying to find out if there was only one shooter or multiple. Instead of doing something fun like this we had to finish the game that we had started. I was still confused on the game and I think that it is actually a really bad way for us to understand the topic. I know that sometimes the people don't listen to him talk or doesn't copy down any notes, but I don't think that this was a very good way to learn the topic. I hope that when we finish all of this game nonsense that we actually learn more about the topic because I don't completely grasp the topic and I think that Mr. Schick could explain it much better than this game can. I hope that on Monday we can talk about this game and actually learn more about the topic and talk about the questions that we were given on the sheet that he handed out a couple days ago.
I hope that Monday's class is much better because we didn't learn much and I hope we talk more about the topic at hand Monday.

Talking About Small Businesses
Hello,
Today we spent the class talking about small businesses. We also talked about some of the answers that we were supposed to get while playing the game. We only went over about 2 of the questions, however. After we went over some of the questions we then talked about small businesses. We sort of got side-tracked in this class. I'm not sure that we should have been talking about this, but I think that this was a great discussion. We all talked about how it is good to buy things from small businesses because the chain places are destroying all of the small businesses. We also talked about a thing called Small Business Saturday. This is where you are supposed to donate, by buying something from a small business. I think that it is great to support small businesses because all of the chains that are there today were once very small and started from where these stores are. There is the problem with price however and obviously you are going to buy from the store that has the cheaper price, which is the logical way. Unfortunately, the cheaper price is usually the chain stores and this is why small businesses are hurting.
I liked the discussion today and I hope we have a great class tomorrow!

Going Over the Test
Hello,
Today we went over the World Leader test that we took a couple days back. I thought that I did a lot better than a 77%. I was very disappointed with this, but most people didn't do that good. Mr. Schick wasn't very happy with these as most would expect. I got above the average that the class got but it still wasn't good. Even though I got this grade I think that I will in the end bring my grade back up but everything put together right now I have a B in that class. This is not too bad, but I hope to bring it up. Mr. Schick made a lot of mistakes on the test and he had to have a lot of people email him about that this was most likely because he was watching football and wasn't pay full attention to grading. I think that I will end up with a good grade in the class. I hope that this quarter I will end up with an A and not a B. But I have plenty of time to do this.
I hope that my next test doesn't end up as bad as this one.

Some Game..
Hello,
Today in Human Geo we had an extended class because it was Monday and we always have an extended class on Monday. Other than that we play a game to teach us about micro finance. Basically, we made decisions for the town on how to help certain situations throughout the town. I didn't think it helped me understand it better. Though it did get us out of doing regular Human Geo things, so all in all it was a pretty good day. I hope we learn more about the game because it was a bit confusing. I'm pretty sure it all ties in with Kiva however, but we will see.
Not sure what's happening tomorrow, but I can't wait!

Test Today
Hello,
Today in class we took our test. During the mod before I realized that it was probably going to be really hard and ask a lot about the leaders. I thought that it may only be like a matching to the leaders to the country, but I was wrong. So on my off mod i updated my blog even more, just in case. Mr. Schick was there though. He told us that we could use our blogs. I was so happy because for a second I thought that I was going to do really bad. After that I was a bit relieved. With the blog I thought that the test was very easy. I was the first one done so I beat Grace which is all that matters. I think that I did fairly well. Not sure that I got a 100%, but I am very confident in myself that I got a good grade.
That is all that I did today and I will do more on Monday!
