This week in world geogrpahy we started literally learning about southwest Asia. Even though we had already started the unit last week, we actually started to learn it this week. When we start a unit we just draw the maps and do the vocab. This week our teacher actually started teaching us about Southwest Asia. We first learned about the water conflict in southwest Asia. It doesn't get much water during the year, so you have to live by a body of water in order to get a constant supply of water. We then started learning about Iraq. We learned it's history and back round information. I enjoyed this a lot. We had a little activity this week about whether the ethnic group we were assigned would split from Iraq and become a separate country or if we should stay united with Iraq. My group decided to split, but once we debated about the topic, we changed our mind to stay with Iraq.
This week i didn't do much. I went to a party on Monday which was really fun. i got to see my friends and catch up with them. I don't see them much due to all the homework i get :(. Some bad news this week was that i found out i can't go to Israel this summer. This group i asked to go to Israel with said they were full and couldn't take me. I was kind of disappointed, but i moved on. I believe that you can't always look at the past. You have to move on with your life. Even though this week had it's ups and downs, it was a pretty good week.
