Today we took the test and I think I did okay but I do not want to jinx it. There was matching terms to definitions in the beginning and other than one term I think I did okay. The two definitions to choose from were kinda confusing. After the definitions it was multiple choice which i had a few problems with some of them but not too many. I am going to start working on my essay tonight so I will have two nights then peer review and one more night to work on it. I want to write a very good essay for the exam.

Today in class we talked more about the essay that is due on Friday and every day that it is late it is a letter taken off of it. we finished the power point today and will be taking a test tomorrow. We talked about some more of Ravensteins laws and they say that most long distant migrants are males, they are adult individuals rather than families with children, and finally that they are young adults seeking work rather than children and elderly people. I hope I will do good on this test.

- most of the Africans were forced to migrate to the United States as slaves, whereas most Europeans were voluntary migrants.

in class we listened to more of the podcast and it talked more about migration and persecution. It said that most people are coming to the United States because they are in very bad situations like abusive households and living near gangs. In 1951 Jews sailed in a ship to the US seeking asylum but we wouldn't let them in. They went all the way down the East coast and ended up having to go back to Germany and ended up dying from the holocaust. we also talked about how trump is limiting how many people can come into the United States.
