So, I got a little announcement.

I'm gonna be taking a little bit of time off of this channel, but it's for a very good reason.

The reason why is because I am currently doing something I've never done before:

I'm going to research and write the next

*eight*

episodes

(usually I go by four episodes)

and the reason why is because I need a reservoir of stock footage and episodes

to upload while I'm gone for the heritage trip with my mom.

I will be gone for almost the entire month of October so I need something to give you guys while I'm gone.

(I can't just leave you alone for a whole month)

By the time of this video's upload,

I have already finished the Israel script, and I'm about halfway done with the Italy episode

and I'm currently reading the emails from all you Geogra-peeps that are from the upcoming episodes

like the Jamaicans,

the Japanese people,

I even have *one* person from Ivory Coast!

It's so cool reading your emails, you guys are giving me such great information.

But anyway,

yeah, I'm gonna be taking a little bit of time off so that I can work on more stuff for this channel.

Is that okay?

(I'm not just sitting back and doing nothing)

In the meantime,

please please please

feel free to keep up with me on social media.

I'm active every single day, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter,

and before I go,

I'd like to quickly just remind you guys once more:

The Geogra-BEE contest is still on the deadline -

- I changed it - is the end of September.

However, I have already selected my very first winner and I will be announcing winners every single week.

The *first* winner of the Geogra-BEE contest out of five schools that I will select

*intensifies* iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissss -

*cues nonexistant drumroll*

The Gruening Middle School of Eagle River, Alaska!

(I think I pronounced that right,

'Gruening',

gra- 'Groaning'?)

Anyway, Alaska!

I'm gonna have a Geography Bee at your school. Congratulations!

You are the *first* winners out of five.

Four more to go, and one of you has to be Canadian...remember.

*half-evil tone* Who will it be next?

Who in North America will I visit?

Well for sure, it's gonna be Alaska.

In the meantime, I got some research to do, I gotta finish the Italy script.

Have a good one, stay cool, stay tuned.

*keek keek*
