Capítulo Tres Examen

I had my chapter three exam Monday, October 6th and the class did not receive them back until today. We usually get them the following class but the interim two classes had been cancelled. One for the "fall break" including Columbus Day (el dia de Cristóbal Colón) and the other because the teacher was out of the country (He apparently went to Tokyo and Thailand for a friends birthday. Not exactly sure what kind of friend this is or why he would travel around the world for a birthday, but I have theories). After completing and turning in the exam I didn't have a good feeling about how I performed. I knew I had missed several questions and had mispelled at least three answers. I was hoping the teacher might give credit or partial credit because the word was correct even if the spelling wasn't. Today, at the end of class we were given our exams back. He went to hand it to me and noticed my knee. He asked me how it was and told me to do whatever I had to do in class to make myself comfortable. I took my test and walked back to my desk which is when I looked at the top. I first noticed the letter grade, an "A". I was fairly surprised. I figured I would get a "B" at the highest and had spent this past week and half coming with excuses and ways to explain here in the blog why I did poorly. I don't feel like I have a need to explain much with an "A". I then looked at the numerical score. It was "100". I knew that couldn't be right. The obverse was perfect, but I had known that. The issues I identified were on the reverse. When I flipped it over I saw five strikes of red pen. Three were slashes and two were slashes which were circled. I do not know if they are mistakes, the teacher making marks to identify the key areas he was testing for, or just highlights for some reason. One thing I do know is that I didn't bring it to his attention. If he wants to give me a better grade than I can figure I deserve, who am I to tell him otherwise. So, I got a 100. Super. I posted the test on the right like always.

Good day to you.
