Grading

During the class, Mr.Schick graded our project. Some of them did really good job. He asked us our opinion for the score and also to me. I said 90 for JP's work and changed it to 80 because of Kylie. Also I said ninety something for Kylie's group. They are deserve to get good score. Anyway we are going to have test on next Wednesday. I am studying  now.
