SimCity

Today I spent the entire time that we had to work on our Sim City project flattening my land. Which by the way apparently did not want to be flattened and continued to get bumpy after I would flatten it. It was extremely aggrivating.
 * Journal Entry for day 1:**

__//Activity: Cities that follow a grid system//__ a. Milwaukee b. Hollywood c. Miami

//__Cities that do not follow a grid system__// a. Paris b. London c. Calcutta


 * Journal Entry for day 2:** Today I finally got all of my land to stay flattened, which I could not do the day previous to this one. I also filled my city's land with tons upon tons of trees to somewhat prevent the ton of pollution which caused my practice city to fail. I made sure that my river was exactly straight and in the center of the entire layout of my city. I know that I will most likely be down graded for my actions, but it made making the actually city about 100% easier because i could start right on the edge of the water instead of having to go a couple of spaces down due to my rivers jagged edges. I was too nervous to actually start making the roads and such in my city so I did not make any today. By the way, i've decided to name my city "Armpitopolis."

 * Journal Entry for day 3:**Today I officially started making my city a city. I only filled about eight squares out of the whole lot of them today because I didn't want to start right off by messing up. So, i'm taking the making of my city slow.


 * Journal Entry for day 4:** ?//?????????
 * Journal Entry for day 5:** Now, my city is about 4 or 5 times the size that it was before. I am still taking things slow with it, and gradually builing on. I have about 3 schools,1 police station, 1 fire department, approx. 25 water pumps (the people in my city are heiffers with water), and a HUGE and when I say huge I mean HUGE Seaport. My city demanded one so I supplied them with one, and after that they continued for about the whole period of time that I was working on it to demand a bigger Sea port. I also have 3 factories and if I remember correctly I am at about $16,000.00. Oh yes, I made two signs at random places throughout my city. One of these signs states that Mr Skonecki has eybrows,(and yes I know that I did not spell eyebrows correctly, but I just left it the way that it was) and the other states a true fact that "This is a fine city." That's about all for today.
