pow wow

on Saturday after i got back from my track meet i went to the pow wow. i thought it was very interesting. i liked how all the people were dressed up. i liked the set up in the lobby and halls. i enjoyed looking at all the stands. my favorite one was with the jewelry. it showed all the necklaces and gadgets they wore. i was very glad i went. it was really fun. i stayed there for about 30-40 minutes before my mom came and picked me up. I originally went for my extra credit. but after going i would have done it for nothing any other time. at first my friend and i's plan was to take the picture and leave but then we saw how much fun it looked and stayed as long as we could. i think it was a huge Success

urban geo

Today in Human geo class we started a new unit. Our new unit is on urban geography. a basic definition of urban geography would be defining what is really a rural and urban area actually is. Rural places are like cities. they are a group of people clustered together in a small place. urban places are very spread apart and more relaxed. rural place has jumped up to fifty percent of the entire world. this shows how the world is divided up into two base groups.
