Test Day

We took a test in Western Civilization. I don't think it was bad. I studied and took some good notes. Then Mr. Schick told us we could use our blogs! Thats crazy! A teacher letting us use our computers on a test. I am surprised that no one searched up the answers. The map was easy and the short answers i didn't struggle that much on it. Some of the multiple choice was confusing, but I had to read over and over the question to get figure out the answer. I hope I do good on the test.  I don't know how but I got dropped down to a B! I mean I got all A's but that one project brought me down. ButI should've proof read more. Well it's only mid of the third quarter. I have the rest of the quarter to focus more and try to bring it up to an A. I have to do that for other classes also. Teachers must love cramming up work before the long weekend. This week has been a really interesting week. I had so many test and now I can FINALLY enjoy my long weekend. Welp. I gotta go back Tuesday. Yay...
