Today we took a test in class. I thought I did pretty well but apparently I didn't. I even studied for the test, but still didn't get the grade I wanted. I thought most of the questions were fairly easy but that didn't show in my grade. Hopefully I do better on the next test.

Today in class we watched the end of the movie we were watching. Then we went back to the classroom and talked a little bit about the movie. Mr. Schick answered a phone call from the office that was for me and scared the crap out of me by saying I was in a lot of trouble, along with another one of my classmates.
