To be honest, I was not planning on trying terribly hard. I have never had to try very hard ever at school and fortunately it has always come easy to me. We took a pop quiz and I got half of the possible points on it and it was a wake up call. I didn't expect any better but I guess it took me seeing the poor grade to realize that I was going to have to put in effort to get the grade I desire. Prior to the test I actually practiced with the material I had learned in the past week and I was about a million times more confident taking the test than when I had taken the pop quiz. I have never had to try before at school, and to be fair, at first it kind of irritated me that I wasn't understanding the material naturally like I usually do. I'm super appreciative of being "forced" to learn things on my own and work harder though, it'll prepare me a little more thoroughly for my future. So, I suppose that is how I feel I have progressed within the time we've been in the class.
