It's Test Day

I haven't mentioned much about school here lately. Today, though, I have two midterms. The first one was this morning, in my class Public Service in an Urban Setting. Questions dealt with Los Angeles' widening "two-tier" economic structure (expansion of the poor and the rich while the middle-class sort of disappears), philanthropic practices of different ethnic groups, service learning, and one more that I can't remember at the moment. I felt like I did pretty well. Of the four essays two had multiple options and two were mandatory. I lucked out with feeling comfortable on the required ones while having a definite favorite in the choices.

And now in an hour and a half I have a midterm in my anthropology class, Exploring Culture Through Film. This one I don't feel at all as comfortable about, but my saving grace will be that it's (at least largely... I think all) multiple choice. I like multiple choice.
