Class today was very educational. I learned about the several hardships students go through in high school. I'm sure the main problem was sleep. I haven't met a single student who says they get enough sleep. Each day students have about an hour or maybe two hours of homework. Most students in the school are in after school activities. Having that much work to do extremely affects the body and mind. I personally don't get enough sleep. On an average day I get home around 7:00 pm after practice. By then the sun is going down but i still need to get started on my work. The way it's going for classes I'll be finishing my homework around 10:00 at night. That only leaves me with 8 hrs of sleep. I need more sleep than that, since I'm practicing everyday. The pressure of private school is also a major factor of stress for students. In public school teachers could randomly choose a day when the students have no work to do. But in private schools everyday is new work that must be done. Although i was expecting this since the tuition is high, I didn't think it would be on this level. Truthfully I somewhat enjoy the busy schedule. In public school I always had a feeling something was missing. Like I could always do more, I guess this school was the right choice for me.

Today we talked about the effect humans had on the land and how they changed it. For example, Manhattan was a plain island. Not many buildings or skyscrapers reaching into the sky. There wasn't even that many people living on the island. But then they started to build homes and workspace. Now more people came to the island to find a new home or job. When people think of New York city they think about new opportunities. When the buildings were finished, many people came to the city, they started their own businesses.  Soon more and more people came, and the population grew. It could be compared to the gold rush in the west when everyone moved out to find fortune. The city is always working and always moving. Now the people of New York city are living life with hope of a better future. They wake up each morning to become a better person than they were yesterday.

We got our tests back today. The class averaged around a 75%. We had notes to use and we still tied with the honors class who didn't have notes. I need to take better notes for my blog. All my notes were in my notebook but we won't use that. We will only be using the blogs. A couple of people got A's on the test. Others not so much. Fun fact every single person who took the test got this one question wrong. It was a trick question that messed with our perception and our thinking. The question had specific coordinates on it, but it doesn't exist in the world. Everyone just took one glance at the numbers and and assumed it was absolute location. It worked because no one got it right, next time we won't be tricked
