Human Geo Notes

            A Message to Garcia is a story that shows that you should just do your job when asked without making an excuse. Elbert Hubbard is basically saying that when you are asked to complete a certain task, don't backtalk or give sass, just do it. I think that he is right that you should do something when you are asked. I disagree with him when he says that he wants to "kick them with a boot" though. I think that you should just encourage them and get them motivated to do their job. If they fail to obey your orders then fire them. When they gather their things to leave, just tell them, "good luck getting a job when you refuse to work".             I think that you should be like Rowan. Rowan had to sneak behind enemy lines in Cuba to complete a risky job, to deliver a letter to the general. He didn't refuse, give up, or even give an excuse. He simply accepted the mission and went to work. Now a man that obeys an order to go behind enemy lines and risk h

Today was definitely an interesting day. The class started when a fellow classmate failed to complete his blog from the previous day. Mr. Schick was very forgiving and let the student attempt to pull it up in the middle of class. As the wait grew longer, Mr. Schick grew more anxious. He constantly checked his email and finally decided to leave the student behind and continue onto the class syllabus. After a little while, Mr. Schick realized that his computer wasn't receiving any emails. However, the emails did start to come via his phone. One of those emails just happened to be the student's. So after a long and suspenseful wait, he had done it. The student successfully created and emailed his link to the teacher.  Mr. Schick made a drum roll and then he opened it. Turns out the link was spelled wrong though. By the end of class the student had successfully managed to open his account and send it to the teacher. He did fail to find the actual blog itself though so he was stu

Today in Human Geography Mr. Schick discussed the policies, expectations, and requirements of the class. Soon after, we (the class) began to log onto blogger.com and create our account. After much troubleshooting, I failed to create my official blogger account in class. With that being said, I was told to complete it for homework before midnight tonight. So here I am at ten o'clock at night typing up my first blog for Honors Human Geography. I honestly would have written this blog earlier but I was at Grease auditions from four until eight thirty. Yes, I could have done it while waiting for my turn to audition but my computer was with Mr. Vittucci or Mr. Vitucci (not quite sure how to spell his name) due to google chrome and outlook connection failure. Anyway, we were told to create blogs for every day that we have class. Every blog is based on what we learned that day in class. Today we simply went over the class syllabus and how to maintain a good grade. The key to maintaining a
