25-May-2012, Friday.

     Today in music theory class, we continued doing the assessment because some of us wasn't able to perform the baroque music. After everyone finished performing, Mr. Sadrakh announced our scores and asked some people to re-do, especially the people who are playing the flute. Some people still hasn't improve but some did. After the people who had to re-do was finished, Mr. Sadrakh asked all of us who wanted to re-do, but i didn't want to because i stopped practicing the song and i was afraid i did worst from last time so i refused. Then, Mr. Sadrakh announced our scores again for the essay test, the blog scores, and our music baroque performance score. I think i did a great job in all of it because i passed all of it. I'm glad that i managed to to all the assessment great! :)
