2nd Post

The five themes of geography are location, place, human enviroment interaction, movement and region. My job today is to say how all of these relate to good, old, Austin, Texas. For location, the absolute location is 30 degrees north, and 97 degrees west. The place is the human and physical characteristics, so the physical characteristics are town lake, and mt. benel. Human characteristics is quite different, Austin is known as a "different town" so there are quite a lot of "interesting characters" here. The movement for Austin is using cell phones for communicaton, and others. Human enviroment interaction in Austin is building bridges, huge buildings, roads, schools and more. And finally, region. The region for Austin is, the south. I dont like being steriotyped as a southerner, but oh well.
Reflection
My reflection consists of what I have done in the last two weeks. School has just been getting harder, and I thought that wasnt possible! Last night was the choir retreat, which I thought was very fun! I have been drowning in homework, so I hope I make it! Thanks for reading!

1st Post

Hello everyone!! This is my first post for world geography at Anderson high school. The assignment is to share about myself, so here i go! I am a ninth grader currently going to school at Anderson high. Some of my hobbies include boy scouts and competitive swimming. I am also an award winning singer in the AHS choir. I am very interested in music. Some of my favorite bands include The White Stripes and The Beatles. I have one sister, who is going to Hill Elementary. Go Dillos!! When i graduate from Anderson, i plan to go to Boston University(also, go Terriers!) and become one of the members of the acapella group The Dear Abbeys. That about sums up my post, thanks for reading it!
Reflection:
Here is the part where I reflect on the last 2 weeks of my life. Two weeks ago school started. At first, I was very, very lost. Its quite hard to go from such a small school like Murchison to Anderson. I have been drowning in homework, but I will try my best to get through it. I like all of my teachers and classes, especially German 1 with ms. Lesher. Anderson is very exciting and I am having a great time so far, which I hope will continue. Thanks for reading!
