Today in Human Geo class we talked about maps a little bit more and countries around the world. We started talking about how Mr. Schick doesn't really like crabs because he was born and raised in Chicago and he wasn't raised or been around people who usually ate crabs. He likes them just it's like not his top food but we were all shocked when he told us that because we are raised in Maryland and crabs is like part of Maryland style. So he tried to make us understand what he was like when he went to a crab feast and ate crabs for the first time. He explained it something like this, that imagine that you were from Maryland and coming to live in Chicago and you go to a squirrel feast or something and they have boiled squirrels with their fur and tail and eyes everything on and in the squirrel just boiled. Now, we take a knife and carve all the fur off of the squirrel and then the eyes and organs, then they started eating the brain (which we don't eat crab brains) and when Mr. Schick said that we all went like "Ew" and he was like yeah exactly that's what it's like when I first had crabs, it was weird and not much meat came out of the crab and it was a pain getting to the meat.

Situation

Today in Human Geography we talked about situation and how it is the location of a place relative to other places. Many locations are important because they are accessible to other places. Mr. Schick asked us how would we tell someone where John Carroll is if they were from like China or some place. Like if they have never lived in Maryland and they have just moved to Maryland and they want to know the directions to get to John Carroll. We would have to be specific and give them directions with a lot of details, because if they haven't lived here before or never have been here before you can't just say or it's like 15 minutes from Bel Air High School they wouldn't know where Bel Air High School is because they haven't been here before.

Today in Human Geography we did some note taking today about Areté and Socrates and those things. We had to look up somethings and learn about it. We talked about philosophy and Mr. Schick was talking about his dog, Stanley, and how his dog doesn't know that he is going to die someday. Which by the way made me very sad but it was true and we talked about when Mr. Schick was a young boy who one day thought about how he was thinking about thinking about thinking. But we mainly did a lot of note taking and learning about ancient Greece and how Scorates died. He was bing accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and of "corrupting the youth" and if he was found guilty his penalty was death. He was then poisoned and died from the people who were in charge.

Today in Human Geography I saw a hornet in class and was scared, but Mr. Schick hung up 3 different maps in the front of the room and told us to make observations of them and we had to be specific. We spent like 10 or 15 minutes observing the maps and then after we started to talk about them and what we saw and what we noticed. Later Mr. Schick told us some stuff about what he knows about maps and he answered the questions that we all had. That's pretty much all we talked about and about 3 students had to take the test about the Message to Garcia  and Excellence.
