Turf School Day Thirty-Five

Today we had a test in every class. This usually is not that big of a deal, but due to weather we had four classes today instead of three. It does not seem like that big of a deal to have an extra class added onto our day, but it has not been really fun.
Our first class was turfgrass maintenance. We had a quiz covering three chapters from our textbook. The quiz was worth 30% of our final grade. It was not a terribly difficult quiz, but when coupled with all of our other quizzes it was just added to the madness.
Our next class was pest management. We had a quiz covering 14 insecticide classes, and it was a combination with our last class about fungicide classes. After our quiz we talked about least toxic approaches to managing pests.
After lunch we had our turfgrass disease quiz. The quiz covered both anthracnose and dollar spot. After our qiuz, we learned about gray leaf spot and other leaf spots. Our teacher is a big time cyclist, so we rushed through our material so he could go out for a ride. It was a nice afternoon, so we all understood. We also discussed that we should allow him to do what ever he wanted so that he would be in a good mood while grading our quizzes.
Ou day ended at about 4:30 with a math final. There were a lot of people who were worried about our final, but it was open book and I am pretty sure that I did AWESOME!!!!
Everyday we get closer to finishing and I get more excited and nervous about the summer.
