Hi, my name is Patty and I do much better on tests when I've read the section a second time (as opposed to reading along with the presentation) the night before, rather than the morning of while sitting on an uncomfortable bench in a packed courtroom, and also when the teacher actually puts questions related to the chapter rather than critical thinking questions about things not in the chapter, especially on a day when my brain isn't working particularly well.

So, I may not get an A on today's test. But having gotten 98s on both our previous tests, and knowing that I'll continue to do so and will likely get a decent grade on the public speaking assignment later in the semester, I'm still not too concerned. Plus, I may well get an A today anyway, just a lower one than I'm used to.

Goodness, I don't know why I put off reading over the chapter again 'till last nite and this morning. And then got home late last nite and called Caren to wish her a happy birthday (and ended up talking the poor girls' ear off for at least half an hour, maybe an hour?) instead of getting right to reading. Should've sent her a card instead, and then just called very quickly maybe.. at least on cards there's a limit to how much you can say. ;)

Off to ceramics now, where I know I'll get an A. (Not that we have written tests or anything..)
