Today we had a test on population and different rates of the world. I felt pretty confident at the beginning and I knew I was going to do well. I was very anxious because I fell behind when the first questions were asked but then I caught up and I was fine. The end part was a little hard and I'm worried on how I did because I wasn't sure if I got them right or not. I enjoyed drawing cartoons on the back.

Today in class, Mr. Schick was not there. Instead of going to his room, we had Human Geo in Mrs. Gauthier's room. We had the whole class to write and proof read our essays for the exam. I found the essay was a bit harder than I thought and I was working on it the entire class and only got half way done. I am planning on finishing it in tomorrow's class. I hope we will get the whole class to work on our essays again tomorrow because that will be very helpful.
