During class we got our exam grades back and I got an 88 percent which isn't bad. But then after we got our exams and during while other people are getting theirs's back we started to look up what Gun, Germs, and Steel was. It is a story that was written by Jared Diamond who is a professor at UCLA. He is a training biologist and specialized in human physiology. But that wasn't busy enough so he decided to take a full passion in the study of birds. He liked to go to Papa New Guinea to look at the birds, and he went there so often that he learned the different languages that are spoken on that island by the low amount of people that speak them. In the story Gun, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond explains why some more materialized and geographically lucky continents are better at invading and conquering other continents.

Today we took the test on the 5 major religions we went over in class starting Wednesday. Those religions were Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism.

Today is the last class of this semester for human geo. Next semester we are moving on to western civilization and I have Mr.Fendryk and not you :( So today during class we just decided to watch jeopardy since we were done everything that needed to be done. I didn't do that well during jeopardy as I only got 4 right out of how many questions were asked. But it was really fun and we weren't doing anything important which was a sigh of relief because all day I was taking notes and working. There isn't much else to write about besides the fact that I had a really great time in this class during this semester. I wont forget the full class discussions that we always did and the studying the day before the test consistently. Thank you for everything Mr.Schick
