What a relief!!! Yesterday was our midterm exam and I am feeling great about it. I have not felt this way since last semester when I took a lower level genetics course after I already took the more advanced genetics course a semester prior. I am pretty sure I got an A on it (hopefully). I wish I could say the same about another midterm I had earlier this week. I just hope I passed that one. I could really use the good news. I was really surprised the test had nothing on the Leopold reading, which was my biggest concern because we never really discussed it in discussion section, so I didn’t know if I had the concepts right in my head. I hope we get a chance to discuss it before the final exam.

The production of steel was invented as a huge advantage. They did not develop at the same pace because of this. Europe was thriving and dominating because of nearly pure luck with their geography which lead to effects on food, animals, sickness, and inventions that boosted their power.
