The test

We had a test on Thursday which I wasn't very worried about in the he beginning since we had reviewed for days for the test. I had reviewed the night before for the test and a few nights before that so I thought I had knew it pretty well. But that all changed once the test was handed out. 

I knew right when I turned the test over I had no idea what half the stuff was and studied for the wrong stuff. The test had so much random things on it that I had no idea what it was and cried a little inside. I knew most of the test but then once the short answer questions came I had no idea what I was doing. I answered them to the best of my ability but I don't think that was good enough. After the test was finished I had known I didn't make a good grade on it. After that though I remembered that it's the beginning of the quarter and I have plenty of time to make that grade up.

Learning experience

During this week we will take the PSAT test Wednesday as well as a lot of other schools will be taking it also. This test is a big learning experience and an idea of what the future holds in learning since we aren't supposed to know everything on the test and that shows what we will learn in the future. Since today is Thursday and I took the test Wednesday I'm aware that the test was difficult but since it wasn't a grade it wasn't a very big deal. The criteria was to do your best and try to fill in all the bubbles in the time given.

I had never taken the PSAT before but I have taken the ACT. I didn't see the difference between the two or if there is supposed to be a difference between the two in the first place. The test was fairly long and the problems got harder as the test advanced on. I'm gonna be honest when I say I had no idea what to do for some if the questions and just put down a random answer due to the question just being difficult for me. Overall the test is worth taking and a great test to take to see what you should learn in there future to do better on it so you can get into a good collage.

Writing Style

The many years I have been in school I've had to write a lot of papers and do a lot of presentations so over the years my writing skills have improved. I have always enjoyed writing personal stories as a little flash back to the years before. Even though after I write them and get them handed back to me with a grade on it I throw it away it's just enjoyable writing them not keeping them. Most people enjoy writing as a stress reliever and I guess I do th same thing to an extent.

I only write at school never at home. I always have something else to do instead of sit down with some quiet time and write stories but when I'm made to do it for a grade I don't resist doing it since it's something I enjoy. Over the years as the literature gets harder as you get farther into school a lot more is expected of you in your writing. Though that is harder it's still fun and not boring if it's an interesting topic.

Gender criticism

Gender criticism has been going on for a very long time. It doesn't matter how old you are you will always hear a joke about the opposite gender throughout your life. That is what makes gender criticism important since it's something that you will always hear. When learning about criticisms gender criticism is a good one to focus on and to understand.

Way back when females were just known as maids and house helpers and that's where all these jokes come from. As in the one everyone knows "women should stay in the kitchen and make sandwiches". Although women aren't maids and house workers anymore the jokes stay with us and people should learn why they are there and the history of the genders.

New Year

The first day of school is never a fun day. Summer is long and free then all of a sudden you have to wake up early and go to school. My first day was just another casual first day I go to school then find my classes then wait to go home. It is the same every single year and it never gets better. As school goes on it gets easier and easier to wake up in the morning and waking up gets into routine so school itself becomes easier.

The switch from being a freshman to a sophomore was basically nothing. It feels no different being a sophomore except being able to call myself a sophomore. It's the same routine as last year and it's fairly boring since it's gonna be the same thing two years in a row. Currently school is slow going and not much fun. It's just I go to school for the weekdays and during those weekdays just wait for the weekend to come back so the summer feeling can come back.

Labor Day

Labor Day is a great day since everyone gets outof school. Anyday outof school is a good day in my opinion. I'm not sure what Labor Day is or what it means to others as a holiday. Holidays for me are just more days to sleep in late and no work to worry about.

Almost all holidays gets you out of school for a day or even a week. Labor Day for me is a day to recuperate for all those long days in school I had to go through. Even though it's only one day it's plenty enough to be appreciative for just like any other holiday.

Presentation

My sermon was gonna be on the potato and why it is great to the world. My presentation would have started with explaining some background history of the potato and why I am doing a presentation on just a simple food item. Then I would have had some pictures of potatoes and there glory of the food race. Then present the nutrition facts and tell the class how amazingly healthy they are.

The second half of the presentation would be on comparing the potato to other foods. The comparisons would make the potato look like a great thing as an example comparing it to bacon and a Big Mac. During the presentation if I was any good at showing emotions I would show sadness on how people don't choose the potato over all other foods and then get very happy when saying the nutrition facts and comparing it to Big Macs.
