How well we think we did on the presentation

Today in class we assessed our selves and our group mates on how well they did. I would give myself a 96%. When it comes to the group I will give them as followed
Meg-93%
Sheno-87%
Matt-100%
Drew-100%
I am pretty confident I will get a grade somewhere around 96, maybe even higher. For the rest of the class we finished up homework and made fun of Jay. Jay has absolutely no confidence in himself because he didn't even attempt to give himself a good grade:)
