Today, we had many shadows in the class, and Faith brought in cookies. We decided to make a food schedule, because honestly the cookies really hit the spot.  While Kelsie, Maddie and I were in the back of the room creating our food schedule, in calendar form, our shadows introduced themselves. I had a shadow on Friday, her name is Hannah, and she goes to C. Milton Wright. We used to play lacrosse when we were younger! For her fun fact, she said that she had cancer when she was really young. Everyone in class was so surprised by this, especially me! I would have never guessed that she did or ever had it. Anyways, finally we started class and reviewed questions that could possibly be on an upcoming test, and information that we should definitely know. First is that every place on earth takes up space. Next, geographers use maps as their primary tool not only for identifying points on the earths surface but also as means to compare phoneme between different places. The art and science in making maps is called cartography. There are twenty-four different time zones, and that GPS means global positioning system. Then, we discussed true and false questions, and how you really have to pay attention to the wording so it doesn't trick you.

Today is my first day of high school. My first mod I had Honors Human Geography with Mr. Schick, who is also my advisor. I had a lot of trouble setting this up and sending the link correctly. Next, I had English, with Mrs. Zurkowski. That class was very fun, and it felt like it went very fast. We have a fun class with good people in it. After that I went to advisory and I was already hungry. Everyone is really quiet and I'm looking forward to lunch. Next I went to Honors Biology which is a good class that I think I'm going to really like! We went over the procedures and safety rules the whole time and I figured out that I have a quiz in that class tomorrow. Finally, once Honors Biology was done I was able to go lunch, which I was very fond of. Then I went to math and we already have a lot of homework, but I really like my teacher so its okay, and math is my favorite subject. After math I had an off mod with one of the girls on my soccer team. We were just talking about playing ...
