Short Class 1

Today in Human Geo, we took a trip to Mr. Schicks TV Production Studio. We watched a movie on North Korea, and I learned a few things. I learned that North Korea as only had three leaders since 1948. So, its been 67 years with just three leaders. All three of the leaders had been passed down from their father, except for the original leader.

Short Day

Today in Human Geo, class was shortened. I was very refreshed because there was a two hour delay from school. The delay made me pay attention in class more and understand what the teacher was saying. Today it was reduced to 30 minutes. We took more notes on Korea, and toward the end my teachers projected shut off. Mr. Schick was trying to fix the projector while all the students just talked the rest of class. An interesting fact that I learned today was that North Korea isn't very lighted because of how poor they are. They also have one of the most heavily armed boarders in the world. The country is very isolated from the world, as we all know. The country of North Korea makes me feel appreciative for what I have.

North and South Korea

Today in Human Geo, we took notes on North and South Korea. I already knew a little bit of the stuff we took notes on about North Korea, such as how isolated it is from the rest of the world. North Korea is a very poor nation. It can barely afford to have any electricity, yet it thinks its the dominate region of Korea. North and South Korea both have strong opinions on who they think is the actual leader of the country. South Korea is probably the more dominant of the two because it is one of the fastest developing nations in the world right now, while South Korea is a strict government. The average salary for a single person in North Korea is a little over $1200.

12-15-14

Today in Human Geo, we reviewed for exams. We discussed how many questions were in each section, and how he scores it. He told us that it was worth 20 percent of our semester grade, which I already knew. He also gave us the option to do a rap that might get entered in the New York Times contest. Also if we do it we get 10 free points which is pretty good. I probably won't do it, but I probably should before this class drops, too.
