     Today in Human Geo we took our last test for the semester. I thought it was hard and I should have prepared more. I always prepare for my test. However, I feel that I need to prepare more for these, but I don't know exactly how. Overall, I'm glad that it was my last test.

                                                          Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo we finishes the documentary and took some notes. In the documentary I thought it was weird how the Doctor cured all of them, however, when they could all see again they praises and thanked their "Great leader."  Furthermore, I thought it was cool to here all the stories about the people who have escaped North Korea. If I was them I would have tried to escape too. Overall, I would not like to live in North Korea.

                                                              Human Geo

          Today in Human Geo we watched a documentary on North Korea. The video showed us a sneak peak inside North Korea. North Korea is horrible compared to the US. I don't see how people live there. I think the US is way better. They are really isolated from the world and it's horrible. I love living in the US and doing whatever I want and being free.

                                                                  Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo we went over how North Korea is isolated from everyone. We had taken a bunch of notes yesterday on North Korea so we didn't take anymore today. Furthermore, the projector stopped working so we couldn't do anything. We blamed the projector not working on North Korea as a joke. Overall, we didn't do a lot today in class.
