First Test!


We had our first test today in Human Geography.  Surprisingly it was not hard, a lot easier than I thought so that was good! First thing we did though is go over the prayers and still there are several who just don't know it and others who just try and be funny my saying something else.  During a there is NO talking when anyone has a test on their desk, so when he put it on a desk everybody shut up.  After the test there a little time of waiting because some weren't finished with it.  When everybody finished with it we talked about what we were going to be doing with the second chapter.  From what he said it’s going to be about Sudan.  We watched a video about the war between South Sudan and North Sudan.  Before the war started everyone was doing well because there was rich soil, plenty of water, and animals to eat.  When they started fighting over the oil and religion, the Muslims just decided to wipe everyone out.  So what they did was everyone and lock children in houses and burn them down.  (Idiots)  The video we watched though was specifically about three boys and theirs stories to survive the war.  27,000 boys started out walking from Sudan to Ethiopia and when they finished the trek of over 1,000 miles, there were only 12,000 survivors.  The UN decided to set up refugee camps and taught the boys math, science and english.  Sadly though, there wasn't enough for the boys to learn for 10 years (how long the war lasted).  The United States agree to take some in so they could have new starts in America.  So the boy Daniel we were listening to is being sent to Pittsburgh with his friend.  That's about where we got to, and so then the bell rang and that was the end of class.
