Test Day

Today in human geography, we had the big test. I am pretty confident I did well on it. I know I got one wrong because instead of putting down Agora I put down Polis for one of the fill in the blank questions. Other then that, I'm pretty sure I got everything else right. It was actually easier then I thought it was going to be. But it's not like I'm complaining or anything. Anyways, there weren't any questions that were particularly confusing or hard, except for the date of when A Message to Garcia was published. Thankfully I remembered what it was before the end of class. I am excited for the next human geography class because we are learning about something new.

This is my last blog I will be doing for this class. I thoroughly enjoyed human geography this semester and really enjoyed having Mr. Schick as my teacher. I feel like I learned a lot and I've actually taken an interest in the subject. I am sad that I am leaving the class, but I am looking forward to the new things I am going to learn next semester!
