Trip to the Museum of the City of New York

My expectations of the museum were different from what I actually saw. I thought the museum would be bigger, but I had finished viewing everything that the museum had to offfer, even the gift shop, in 45 minutes. This was a let down because there wasn't actually that much to see. The displays that were there were mainly about the architectural design of buildings. One thing that stood out to me about these models were that the were made with cardboard. I think that the MET would have more exhibits to actually view whereas, even though the Museum of the City of NY was good, it was too small Well, the MET doesn't really apply to DNY. Other than this, the trip was alright. It was also the first time I took the subway by myself, so this was a learning experience.

Bio Midterm 2

Once I knew how the test was ordered after taking the first one, I found the wording of the 2nd one's questions similar. I remember when I took A.P. Bio, the tests covered 4 chapters, but this test covered 6, from chapter 7-13 (excluding 11). Plus, the topics were somewhat confusing because they involved processes that were almost similar like photosynthesis/cellular respiration and mitosis/meiosis. If you didn't know a detail, you could confuse the two because they both involved similar steps. I feel like I got over an 85, hopefully I get over a 90. I just wish instead of having just 50 multiple choice, maybe some short answers could be added.
