Today I got my test back. I did much better on it then I thought I would. As I wrought on my previous blogs I did not think I was going to do well. To be honest I thought I was going to fail. I also totally forgot that we even had a test. But I did much better than I could have ever expected. It was the first test that I have gotten 100 on the entire year. And the funny thing that the day we got back the test I got another test that had 100 on.

Well today in class I do not feel that we really did much. We looked at the power point but it was not done so we did not do much. So I really don’t have much to say in this blog. We talked about the questions that your club does and I thought about joining it but then I realized that I did not know any of the answers. Other than that we did not do much other than talk. So today is I short blog but I have nothing else to say today.

Today in class we talked more about microloans. Microloans are a very good thing because you need money to make money. It is very sad that it works that way but it does. You can’t start a business with no money you need money to build to own the land to purchase items. It is a good thing that we live in a developed country because we have access to the things we need to get a business started. But in counties in Africa they do not. So a person with a great idea for a business or a new object in Africa will probably never be seen through because they don’t have enough money to go with it. That is why things like kiva are great because it lets people with not much money go through with their idea.

Today in class we started to do a thing on Google documents really do not think that this is going to work well. For a number of reasons. One is that we all want to do the same thing and we all can’t. Another is that it has that chat feature and people are focusing more talking to each other then they are on working. And the final reason and the biggest one is grace. I am going to try and say it as nicely as I can but she can be a little bossy. And if does not go her way she starts to freak out a little. She was trying to tell us all what we should be working on and how we should be doing it and no one wants to hear it from her. And because she is telling us what to do people get angry at her I think that we all should work in our own groups this way we all can do it our way a and it will cut out the arguing.

 

Today in class we talked the class and we did not play that game. I am glad that we did not play the game. From that game honestly I did not learn really anything. Because I did not feel like reading the game. The game was not really even a game it is more like a book. All you do is read and read and read. I feel that I learn better with a PowerPoint and someone talking.  With the PowerPoint I can see what we are doing and with the teacher talking I pay more attention to what is going on.  Also you have to be a little more active with the PowerPoint and the teacher because he or she will ask questions and will try to get you more involved. I would prefer the PowerPoint much more in the future.

Today in class we got our test back. And well I honestly did awful on it. It was one of the worst grades that I have ever gotten on anything. I got most of them wrong because I really did not pay attention. If I read the question a little slower I might have not of messed up so much. What I would do is I would read the question and not look at the important points in it and I would read It wrong. So a lot of the questions I could have gotten right if I only slowed down. I had all the answers in my blog I just was not paying attention.
