Today we took a test. I missed last class due to an appointment. I missed notes on three of the major religions. I had to cram some information for ten minutes before the test. I already know I got several questions wrong on the test. Having 10 mins to learn new information is not easy. I guessed on all Hindu, Buddhist and Judaism questions. I could tell the test wasn't going to go well when I saw it. I know I got the location and the adherents wrong for the three populations. The test would've been easier if I was here for the class. I was out for most of the day and then came home to sleep. After that I  went to practice and then came home to eat dinner and sleep. Maybe I could've stayed up a little later to study the slideshow.

England was first to do it then U.S. birth rate remains high while death rate drops. Population/NIR rises higher than the birth rate. High production means more money, which leads to more medicine/bigger houses for kids. Stage 3: Lower birth rate, death rate remains, population/NIR peaks then drops. Women have less children because they enter the workforce. Population falls greatly. Birth rate still higher than death rate, population slowly increases. people live in cities, bad idea to have large families. Colonial Mexico experienced the stage.
