TEST DAY
In today's Human Geo mod we finally had our population test and I guess it was pretty good for me anyways. The first part was pretty hard I guess navigating back and forth in the CIA World Factbook. I almost didn't get about two of them but luckily at like literally one minute left I found what I was looking for and managed to finish it with few seconds to spare. The second part was alright although it did take me a little time to finish but it was pretty easy as far as I can tell. I think I did pretty good on it and should have no problems getting a ninety percent. Well, at least I hope. :)

PRESENTATIONS
Last Human Geo lesson my group and I finally presented our Google Slide on world hunger although ANNA WASN'T THERE, it's alright we got it done I think it went pretty well considering I did most of the presentation but that doesn't matter you know. I mean can't be worse than John and Logan's group right I mean that was just disastrous you know took shots at Mr. Schick too it was just a mess. But yeah we still have a couple groups to see hopefully that goes well and I can actually learn something out of this and whatnot and we'll just see how that goes.WE BLOGGING EVERY SINGLE DAY AHHHHHHHH!!

MISSING BLOGS
Yes I see it I haven't blogged in a while again yeah yeah get over it I'm gonna start them back up again and this time I won't break my blog streak alright. Now on to the real blog. So today a couple of groups presented their world hunger slash population blog and I learned a little bit about a couple of world hunger relief organisations. Now we didn't present ours obviously because we weren't ready again OBVIOUSLY but hey, now we're ready okay and I'm hoping, emphasis on HOPE, that I can ace this and get back to the top.

WELP MORE PYRAMIDS
In today's Human Geo lesson we continued learning about the population pyramids. We compared different countries' population pyramids as well as cities in the US. Mr. Schick gave us a first hand experience of the population in a beach down in Florida where the population is mostly old people because it's sort of a retirement place. He told us that he watched a rocket launch from an island not far from where he was staying. Also we saw that Japan's population is slowly declining due to the amount of elderly people compared to the amount of young people. The fact that there are more old people means that there will be nobody to carry the economy while people die slowly and their population will have gone down significantly in the next fifty years. WOW!

POPULATION PYRAMIDS
In today's human geo lesson we learned about population pyramids and how they show the population of a city distributed in age groups of five years in between. We saw that some countries like Monaco have a population pyramid shaped like a cup which means that there are more old people than youths in the nation. It's the opposite in developing countries like Namibia which has a population pyramid shaped like a Christmas tree meaning that it has more young people aged zero to about forty years. This was a pretty meh topic because we haven't really got that into it but I guess we'll see how it goes.

POPULATION
In the recent Human Geo lessons we have been discussing population increase and decrease in countries all around the world. I learned that many things like immigration rate, maternity rate, death rate all have something significant as part of the population of a country. For example America has the most people immigrating into it and has thus grown over three million people in the past year. We also learned how economically rich countries like Monaco and Norway have high wage rates so people get paid more therefore their population doesn't grow or fall. Another thing that can contribute to population are push and pull forces. A pull force is an aspect of the country that draws people in like jobs, homes, environmental status, government policy and more. Push forces are things that make people want to emigrate such as wars, lack of jobs or pollution. We continue to look into this topic deeper as we move on.
