MY AERIES

The grade I got on my essay is a F. I got a F because i didn't do it which means i didn't turn it in. Yes i do agree with this grade because, if i didn't do it why would i get credit for it. Honestly for the first grading period i wouldn't get anything higher then a C. I think that because i haven't really posted anything on my blog but i also half a notebook half full of journal writing. That is what i think about the grade i should have.
