The key question today was, how do geographers describe where things are? Geographers use mental maps and activity spaces to describe where things are. We use mental maps to find our way from point A to B, to organize a use info for future reference, and to make sense of the world. Activity spaces are your daily cyclical movements. In your mind you know exactly the way to get to the places you go to daily.
Telling Time and Time Zones A time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Time zones mostly follow the countries' boundaries just because it's easier and more convenient for the people. Because of this, most lands are not the exact Coordinate Universal Time (UCT), some places are off by only 30 minutes while others are off by a couple hours. GMT is the Greenwich Mean Time, located at the prime meridian. The UCT is based off the prime meridian, 7.5 degrees east and west of the prime meridian is the GMC. Every 15 degrees you move west is an hour decreased and every 15 degrees you move east is an hour gained.
In class today we watched Jeopardy. Before class I had a health exam that I was very worried about but it went a lot better than I thought it was going to go. I was going to bring in cans for extra credit but I completely forgot to until we were on our way to school so it was too late. There is also an opportunity to get extra credit for the test after school if I went to the anxiety talk but I can't because I have practice after school. This morning my mom made me eggs. I was almost late because I forgot to make my lunch until right before we left my house. I have never watched Jeopardy before but I really like it, it's entertaining and I could definitely learn a lot just from watching this show. I don't watch a lot of shows that much anymore. I can never find one that I like enough to get into. I'm very picky with shows, if I don't like it within the first episode than that's it.
