Today in class we took some notes

Today i was not in class due to going out of town for the holiday.

Today we took a test in class. I spent alot of time studing the 3 powerpoints and going over my notes from the text book pages. I came in confident since i just got a 100 on a bio test and i new the material but it turned out i left the room unsure. I really hope this didnt put a dent in my grade to much. But if it turns out i did bad, that means i am going to just have to put in the time and effort to do good on the exams. Since this is my second time around i have a better understanding on how they work.

Today in class we finished up the power point for our test on thursday. I have alot of tests this week so i am going to make sure i spend alot of time studying, since this is the last big grade before exams
