Today in class, we went over each others essay. I checked my buddy tj's essay and it was really good. I was actually interested in what he wrote. It was all fluent and easily readable. I could understand everything he wrote and his facts and his sentences actually made me interested in his topic. When he checked mine, he said that i had good facts and that i didnt have many grammar mistakes and that i also made him interested. we wrote about different topics. I chose option A whereas he chose option B. We also went over the test and recieved them and im not really suprised that i did bad on it. i didnt really understand that much but atleast now i can go home and study for the exam and hopefully get a good grade on it.

Today in human-geo, we took a test. I think i did well on the matching part but im not to sure about the multiple choice. i think i did okay on the multiple choice but i dont think i did amazing. It was about migration and i felt that i new everything pretty well. i studied at home and during school hours but i feel i just went completely blank when the paper was handed to me. When i finished, i look at some of my answers and now i dont even think i got an A. I think i got either a low b or high c on the test. I hope this doesnt bring my grade completely down because i have a 94 which is a pretty comfortable A to me so hopefully it doesn't go down to like a b or a low A.

Controlling Migration
* countries have adopted selective immigration services
- preference shown for specific employment placement and family reunification
* passing of the quota act in 1921 and the national origins act in 1924 by the U.S. congress marked the end of unrestricted immigration to the U.S.
* more seek admission to the U.S. than is permitted by the quotas, thus preferences are shown toward
- family reunification
1. about 3/4 of the immigrants
-skilled workers
1. about 1/4 of the immigrants
2. sending countries alleged preference for skilled workers contributes to brain drain
- diversity
1. a few immigrants are admitted because their sending country historically has sent very few migrants
