today we had a sub, so we did work on our laptops. We took notes on the information on the blog. I learned that contemporary geographers offer a different version of the phrase "think and act both global and local". I also learned all scales from local to global are important in geography. Contemporary geography matters because it can explain human actions at all scales. At national and international scales, geography is concerned with rapid population growth. Lastly I learned about Globalization. One definition of globalization is extending to other or all parts of the world. Another definition is worldwide integration and development.

today in class we took a test on the world leaders. the test was easier than I thought it was going to be. i thought I was going to have to know the type of government they have and i couldn't remember what those where. The part about the special facts about the leaders was the hardest part and i think i did good on that. but there was some i really didn't know and I'm pretty sure i got them wrong. but i think all together i did pretty good on the test. also i was very stressed because i had an F in the class and you still hadn't got my project so i thought i was going to fail. but i was just sending it to the wrong email. so i think i will be able to get my grade up to and A with those two assignments turned in. I liked this class a lot and I'm going to miss it next semester.

today in class we went over the poop quiz and I got a 70 on it which is ok but I think I could have done better. then we talked about a test we will take next week and it sounds pretty easy because it only multiple choice and its about everything we have learned recently and I understand it all. also I am nervous for exams but I think that the human geo one will be ok because we are getting a review about everything and we are getting the exact essays that are on it so I think I will be good for that one.

today in class we continued to learn about population and settlement. we learned about life expectancy. life expectancy means the average number of years believed by a group of people born in the same year. some examples are, the highest is in Monaco, 89.52 total- 85.63 men and 95.58 women. U.S. #42 79.68 total- 77.32 men and 81.97 women. lowest Chad 49.81 total- 48.64 men and 51.03 women. we also learned about crude birth rate, which means the number of births per 1,000 of the population. Also we learned about the crude death rate, which means the number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. we learned about rate of natural increase which is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. this gives us the annual natural growth rate in percentage form-for a country or region. the net migration rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. an excess of persons entering the country is net immigration. this is written as a...
