Today was long, like long to the point in every class i wanted to hit my head on the wall like 100 times. Class started with the destruction of a Mac Charger which was really funny and then we had a discussion just like the Human Geo classes. However, I didn't sleep at all and Mr. Schick had all the lights off and the blinds barely open so I was so close to falling asleep but I held myself together and got through it. Hope we are done watching the Guns, Germs & Steel video cause I already watched it and don't feel like watching it again.

Today in class, we continued to watch the video from the first Western Civilization class, I have already watched it and watching it a second time was kinda boring not gonna lie. I wanna do better in this class then Human Geo cause I feel like I could do better. School was really boring today especially in Grzanna's class, it felt like 5 hours instead of 55 Minutes. We don't have Western Civ tomorrow so we will be back on Monday

Today in class we watched the same video again and it was very long class. We took a pop quiz and i got a 83% which is ok,  I hope soon we can go back to way we learned in Human Geography because that was better. After looking at the Sophomore Courses, I'm going to do Honors Finical Literacy and AP Government because I'm really interested in Government and I think it would be a class I would love to learn and get a better understand of, hopefully the teachers aren't Bias. My day was long and it sucked but J. Cole drops tonight so hopefully that can make up for it

Western Civilization Introduction Video

In the video Jared Diamond is a specialist in Human Physiology and is embarking on an adventure to learn how Guns, Germs and Steel were used in advantage for civilizations of the future to become so much more powerful then others.
              Diamond has started in the Rainforest and brought up a very interesting idea for discussion, New Guineans are among the most culturally diverse and adaptable people in the world: so why are the so poor compared to modern Americans?
               This question requires us to go back to the beginning of time, how did great super powers of civilization like the Mayas, Greeks, Romans & Egyptians advance so much and other civilizations were lost to history?
                 To find this answer, Diamond set back the clock to 1300 years ago, when everyone was equal and all lived in small hunter gather groups. However after an archeologist find of one of the first villages in history they realized that these people were beginning to settle and live together and in this village there was a room: inside this room its believed to have had a way that these people kept grains and other types of food concealed from germs, insect & moister.
                 Diamonds answer: the crops & animals. He believes that origin to success starts in the Fertile Crescent and the spreading of crops and animals on the x/y axis of the land, spread to places like Egypt and Greece, and boosted the economies and civilizations
