Today we began class with a student having to finish a test. I am not too happy with the grade I got on my Mesopotamia quiz. I wish I could have done better since I had felt that I did much better. I think I could have studied more to get a better grade, but this past two weeks have been a little strange. I have gotten so busy recently that I forget about tests or quizzes. I also often end up mixing up days that I have tests or quizzes on. This past quarter was quite hard for me so I am coming into this quarter with a new perspective hoping to do my best. I am also pretty tired today. I couldn't fall asleep yesterday for some reason, but I did eat a good breakfast so that is making the day better. Next we had a pop quiz. My heart dropped when he said it, but I feel confident in my answers. I think I did alright. The only thing that gets me is that there are so little questions that if I get one wrong my grade will drop significantly.
