A-

I believe I deserve at least a low "A" on my blog. I have everything that is needed and all my spelling is up to date! I do "Spell Check" every time so I think I should be perfectly fine. I am not so sure about my grammar usage though. Grammar isn't one of my best things so I think I'll need some correction on that, but other than that I have high hopes on this assignment!
