Recap of events

Today in class, we went to the library and learned about the Missouri Comprimise.

In 1820, US congress passed the Missouri Comprimise was passed, making Missouri a slave state, but also halting all expansion of slavery to the west. That contained slavery to the south, which helped with the process of the abolition of slavery.

We also learned that there were more slaves in the south than free African-Americans in the northern states.

We also learned that there were also more people in the south than in the north, which may have been the cause of the form of slavery that was seen in Missouri being similar to the slavery seen in southern states.

That is what I learned in History class today when we went to the library.

What I want to try for 30 days

After watching the TED talk video in class, I thought about the things I wanted to try for 30 days.

1. I want to try to write a novel. I have an idea and the video gave me some inspiration to try and write about it.
2. I would like to learn a bit of Russian. I think that would be cool to learn, seeing as it's a language the school doesn't offer and one that we don't really use a lot in everyday life.
3. Finally, I would like to do a bit more walking. I walk a bunch in school everyday when it comes to getting from class to class. But maybe, I would say try walking 10,000 steps a day. Using what the guy said about the writing as inspiration, I wouldn't go to sleep until I knew I walked 10,000 steps that day. And while I'm not sure how I going to measure my steps, I think once I cross that bridge, it would really be helpful to me.

And those are my three goals which I would like to try and accomplish for thirty days.
