Final class/test day
Today in human geography class on January 17th, we took our final test on the world religions unit and overall I felt really prepared and I studied a lot last night but I didn't do so good on the test and I thought I would do a lot better but for some reason I have a lot of trouble on human geography tests. But overall I loved the class and would definitely take it again and you were a great teacher and I loved the blogs because it was a way to reflect on your day and what did and learned in class.
