This week in geography we learned about Africa. Africa is a big continent with a lot of big problems. We especially learned about the mass killings going on in Rwanda. It was pretty intense. We are going to have a Socratic seminar (debate/discussion) on this Rwanda problem. We are taking notes on a movie we watched as well as some stories about the mass killings going on in Rwanda.
This week i had a pretty relaxing week. I watched some television, played on my computer and went to downtown Austin. One place I went was to the river walk. There is a huge river walk in San Antonio, but there is also one in Austin. It is about 5 miles (8-10 kilometers). After walking/running that I was kind of tired, so I went to Amy's Ice Cream. In case you don't know what Amy's Ice Cream is, it is a store that sells the best Ice cream ever. The people that work there also flip the ice cream in the air and allow you to chose almost any topping to put on your ice cream. It is truly amazing. After I ate there ice cream, I went back home and relaxed for the rest of the week. I also started playing tennis this week as well as playing guitar. it was really fun!

Blog on school and myself
Hello everybody!
I am here to tell yopu about what i have been learning about in World Geography and also about myself.
Well first of all, in world Geography we have learned a lot of things. we explored North America, South America, Europe, Russia, and now were starting to learn about Africa! For each region we learn we discuss the geogrpahy of the region, the history of the region, culture of the region, and the current events in that region. In fact, we do a current event about our region every other week. My favorite region so far has been Europe because for me it is the most interesting, but the other regions are also interesting.
Now, a little bit about myself. I was born in Austin, Texas on June 18, 1993. 2 weeks later i moved all the way to Scotland! I don't remember Scotland at all, since i was only 2 weeks old when we moved there. Half a year later, my family and I moved back to Austin and we have not moved since. Every summer we leave Austin and do som traveling. I have been to California, New York, Florida, Las Vegas, Italy, France, and Israel. I enjoy it a lot since it is a break from school and it is really fun. I like Austin because it's nice over here. We have a lot of trees and the weather is very nice. The heat may be too much some times, but at least it doesn't get so cold here that we have to put seven layers of clothing!!!!
Well now you know a little bit about me and what I laern in World Geogrpahy.
Hope you enjoed this Post!!!!
