The End of Tarts

Today was our last day with Tarts/Cookies! Which means, tomorrow we have our first written and practical exam. The first hour is written, with such questions as, name the three forms of meringues and how you would prepare each. To be followed by four hours to complete three random-issued recipes from the past three weeks. I'm not particularly nervous, it seems pretty straight forward. But of course I'd like to do well! We got our first evaluations, in which I received an A. I was honestly a bit surprised considering I thought I had done well, but I view "A" as perfect, and I most definitely was not! But I also imagine that they will become more particular as time passes. So I'm off to study, or rather memorize. Unfortunately the scientific aspect isn't really tested that much, but that means it should be easy right? We'll see...
