Today we got back our midterm grades. I was happy to see that I did not completely fail as I thought I would. I was so nervous, but do not know why. I kept messing up during the movement evaluation and forgot a lot of the terms on the the quiz. I am not a good test taker. I am happy with my 9.2-10 :) and I look forward to getting a perfect 10 on the final!!
