The test is Monday the 18th. I have all the notes I need to study. The standard TFR is 2.1. Monaco has the highest life expectancy. Canada and the United States have high immigration rates. It mostly comes from immigrants that are leaving Mexico. The reason for people leaving Mexico is because of its bad economy. Now American companies are starting to build factories in Mexico to improve their economy. Recently the United States have increased border control to reduce the rate of immigration. the world immigration rate is 0. Also, the United States has a low TFR, but immigration keeps the population rising. Push forces include war, pollution, religious persecution, unemployment. Pull forces include jobs, religious freedom, peace. Developing countries have a high birth rate. The highest birth rate is 6.8 children born per women. The lowest is 1 child born per women. The reason for this is because they focus more on gaining money through trading of resources, instead of the public health.

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
