Test day

Today we took the test about all the information that we have been going over in class for the last couple of weeks. When we went over it in class I was making sure that I took good notes because I needed to get a good score on this test to make sure my grade is a good grade. So I have had really good notes for the past couple of days that I was studying over the last two nights and during my off mod this morning.
When I saw the first page of the test I didn't think it was going to take to long to find the information on the CIA website that I felt pretty comfortable with. And it turns out that I was right and it only took me around 9 to 10 minutes. I think that I got most if not all of them right in that section but of course I don't know for sure because I haven't gotten my grade back yet.
The second page is where it gave me all the fill in the blank questions about total fertility rate, net migration rate, and all that. This part I felt mostly comfortable with too but at the same time there was one or two of those questions that it took me a while to come up with an answer so I wouldn't be surprised if I got them wrong.
After that it was asking me to do math and such. I felt really good with that apart from one question. It was the question that had I think 1.61 for the total fertility rate and it asked if it was increasing or decreasing. But it said don't include migration. I knew that with migration it was decreasing because it was below 2.1 but without migration I was just hoping that if it was greater than one than it was increasing. 
Then I had to describe 2 push and 2 pull forces. I think I got all those right because I gave a country too. I felt really confident when I was writing because I remembered it from my studying. So I would be surprised if I got any of those wrong. But I don't want to be cocky and then get them all wrong.
The two questions on the back, I had no clue what the first one was. But then I said 2.1 for the second one and I think that's right. Because I remember us going over that in class.

My review on the presentation

Yesterday we did the presentation on our given countries. My group which consisted of Chris, Hannah, Banks, Tom, and myself; we had the Country Kenya. Kenya as I said and as Hannah said, they are a developing African-American nation with a very high unemployment rate of 40 percent. I did the slide on energy and electricity access which was one of the factors of Kenya issues and problems. They had no one working in their factories and that was why they weren't producing any crude oil, and that was part of the reason of why their unemployment rate was very high. Over 13 million people within the population didn't have access to electricity. I think that I personally did a good job on the presentation, I gave a lot of information on my topic, and I clearly stated the energy problem which was the main part of the rubric So I would give myself a 97-100 because I did everything like giving information and stating the problem right, but I had to look at my note card a couple times ...

Gun Germs and Steel

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. Some of these geographically lucky features are land, immunity to germs, food production, and the domestication of animals. Eurasia is a Geographically lu...
