Halloween

I was really excited for Halloween this year because it was the first year I wouldn't be bother by my parents about what I was doing. I was finally going to be able to go out and party without the thought of having to be home at a certain time or having to be too responsible. It was going to be my first relaxing Halloween. I was wrong. My forestry teacher decided to schedule a test for the Monday after Halloween at 9 oclock in the morning. So while I could have been out having the best Halloween of my life, I was stuck in my dorm studying all night. And when I showed up for my test the next morning, the teacher was not even there. Of all days the teacher chose to miss, she decided to miss the day she scheduled a test for; however, we were expected tp be in class on time ready to take a test. Many of the students in the class themselves were not ready for the test because they decided to go out and party anyway, so the success rate of this test will be very low.
Overall it was just a bad day to schedule a test, and it ruined either peoples Halloweens, or it ruined their grade in the class. It is not smart to schedule a test the day after a major holiday like Halloween, because the majority of your class will either not like you very much afterward, or a lot of your students test scores will be very low. It would have made much more sense to reschedule the test for the next Monday so the students would be happier and the test scores would be higher.
