In today's class, we went over our test that we did before spring break, I didn't do hat well because I think it was the lack of studying and good note taking. I will make sure for the next test in 2 or 3 weeks that I will take good notes and study hard to finish out the year strong. It is sad that Mr. Shick will be gone for 2 weeks but I wish him good luck and recover fast.

In today's class, we had our test today, I think I did ok, I wasn't expecting 40 questions and it was really long in my opinion. I could of studied more than I would like to but I felt like I didn't have enough notes to study for it. But I will make sure next time to take good careful notes so I feel confident on the next upcoming test on Rome when we get back from spring break.
