Quick notes: Curves, Numbers, and Concerts
1) Curves
Vista will tell you that the test was worth 89 points. Instead, I'm going to count it as worth 85 points.
2) Numbers
Remember that there is an Excel spreadsheet that you can download and plug in your grades - and then play what if to see where you stand for your average. The spreadsheet assumes a C for all of the grades (you have to start somewhere!) - but you can change that as needed.
I suggest you take advantage of it - that will avoid unpleasant surprises later!
Cherry Blossom is next week - TONS of free concerts to go to that will count. Again, if you have a question, ASK!

3) Concerts
We are over the halfway point, and I have received a relative few concert reports. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST WEEK when everyone is brain-damaged from a long semester and you have way too much work to get done in not enough time.Cherry Blossom is next week - TONS of free concerts to go to that will count. Again, if you have a question, ASK!
