I surprise myself
Despite my horrible hand-eye coordination with Volleyball and Table Tennis, I'm actually doing pretty decently at Badmitton. It's nothing like I remember from 7th grade gym... I remember the net being high, at LEAST as high as the volleyball nets were several weeks ago. Plus I don't remember being able to hit the birdy at all, but now it's incredibly easy. It's actually pretty fun.
We took a nasty BIO test on Monday. I was certain that I was gonna do absolutely HORRIBLE. There were 42 questions. The average was 14.5. Before I got my test back I was sure that my score was gonna be in the single digits. "The high scores were 25, 21, 20, and 19." ... "Doctor Lademan!" WTF? I look at my Scantron sheet: 19. "Holy crap!" Yes, I actually said "Holy crap!" I did not expect a nineteen! I did not expect a decent score! Wow! I was above the average on this test! Sweet! 19/42 is still horrible, at least he curves the test grades.

Wow that test must have been really nasty. Usually, if the average isn’t above 60%, there should be a re-test, or some kind of make-up. But since he’s scaling the marks, the people who got low marks will benefit from it the most. :lol:

Oh yea. Gotta love AP classes. There’s always some sort of grade curve/scale. In my English class, for example, the letter grades are shifted down by about 3-5%. So an A- is roughly 87%-92%, or something very close. It’s really nice.
