Today was tropical day at The John Carroll. I wore a Hawaiian shirt, with a grass shirt and socks and sandals. I felt pretty snazzy till the beginning of the day. I SPILLED MY FRENCH VINILLA CAPACHINNO ALL OVER MY BOOKS. That of course was the beginning of an amazing day! But I went human geo where we continued our research on the democratic and republican regions. I learned that the deep north where north Dakota and part of Montana are is republican during the years of 2004, 2008, and 2012. The places that stayed democratic through the three years was the rust belt, New England, new York and the mid-Atlantic. During our lesson we were talking about the election of 2016. Between Trump and Clinton apparently Clinton had more votes from people but Trump Electoral votes. He was asking us whether or not we thought this was a fair voting method. Im not really sure how I feel about this situation.

Continuing our discussion on Population today in human geo we talked about migration and the reason people leave a country. There are reasons why people might migrate from one country to another. These reasons are called push and pull factors. Push factors are ways people may leave a country and go to another. This includes a civil war, unemployment, religious reasons, and maybe environmental degradation. The other factor for migration is a pull factor. This includes a better economic, health services, religious freedom, and political freedom. After we discussed those two factors we talked about how many people go to Canada instead of the United states. I found out that in Canada when you get hurt and go to a hospital that you can just get treated and leave. But in the United states when you get hurt and go to the hospital not only can you be treated but you also have to pay hundreds and maybe even thousands of dollars to be treated. That can be a reason why people...

Today in human geography it twas the most perfect temperature! I wasn’t too hot and I wasn’t too cold. I was just right. It was kind of like the three little bears. When I walked in My teacher Mr. Schick told me about a snow storm named Grayson. Different spelling but the same name as mine! And the storm is JUST LIKE ME! Just going around… ruining people’s lives. Yep sounds like me! But today in class after having a whole day to work on this “worlds leaders” project we got to notes on the extended information our teacher Mr. Schick found on his own. As we took some notes some of the leaders of these countries we learned about had very interesting background stories. Like the president of India was in one of the lowest groups in india. And another that was probably the weirdest was the france president who married his high school teacher!!! LIKE EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

As I walked into human geo I was extremely surprised that I wasn’t freezing. The other day I walked in and my soul was numb. But today was different. As I walked in I wasn’t even the slightest bit cold like I felt yesterday. But I was very pleased with the temperature that was in the school today! Today in human geo we were given a project that would be turned in on Friday. For the project, we have to research all of the countries given. In the beginning of the class it sounded like he wanted us to only do one or two countries! No! we had to do 15. And with these 15 countries we had to find the head of government, the name of country, the government type, and picture of a map! But it took me forever and I really hope we have a snow day tomorrow because I want to sleeeeeeeep!
