Today is Saturday September sixteenth and yesterday was Friday. On Friday our Varsity football team played Bel Air's Varsity for the cup, and we won!! Today all of our other teams played, Jv girls soccer, Jv boys soccer, Girls Volleyball Jv and Varsity, and Girls field hockey Jv and Varsity. Only the Varsity games count towards the cup. John Carroll won! 4-2 in Varsity wins. I played in the Jv soccer game, and we lost 2-0. The final game was Varsity soccer and they lost 3-0. In class on Friday we talked about the map of the world and how we are using the wrong one the world is not really how the map shows it. This idea was very surprising to all of us in the class. We have grown up learning, and studying one map and we just learned that it is wrong.

Today in Human Geography, we went over the start of our new unit, called Thinking Geographically. Then we went over a few key questions like How do geographers describe where things are? Why is each point on earth unique? Why are different places similar? Why are some actions unstable? After this we worked on a work sheet where we had to label all regions on a map of the world.

They scored 1 in the first half, towards the end of the second half they scored again then we put in our second string and they scored 2 more goals, winning the game by four points total.
