So the midterm we took last class was to my relief was extremely rewarding. Although I was fully confident in my skills and sure of the knowledge I had gained in (and out of) class. I was al little worried as I went to bed the Wednesday night. So I woke the next morning to study, hard. I looked over every note taken, which wasn’t much, and read, more like skimmed through, every handout we had received in class. I will be honest and say that I did not read the two chapters on theme and character so naturally I didn’t even think about looking over them. How you can you remember something you never did?
The problem lies in timing. For on this fateful Thursday morning I had not one but two midterms that were of equal importance. So I found myself splitting my study time, about 2-3 hours, between two very important classes; Introduction to Literature, and World Religions. The world seemed so small until this particular Thursday morning; breakfast never seemed so irrelevant. So I studied, with everything I had I scrolled through notes upon notes of things I didn’t even remember writing down. My hear t is racing; my time is coming to an end.
The moment of truth, class; Introduction to Literature, the World Religions test seemed to have gone well. Now it’s time for the last one of the day. Feeling completely unprepared for what I believe is in store, I take my pencil out and ready, at least the best that I can, my mind. Then comes’ the news. Good news and bad news. Bad news first, Professor Corrigan wasn’t able to make the test a 100 questions long. The Good news, we had more time in class to learn. Now I’m all for learning but when it comes to getting things taken care of, I’m all about getting in and then getting out. Sometimes The good news is the bad news. I love Intro. to Lit.
Seth,
ReplyDeleteBy far one of the funniest kids I know. I think you nailed the midterm. I think You definitely "Passed" the midterm. I studied for a couple hours as well and I think I did really good. I am going to have to agree with you about intro to lit. One of my favorite classes
Seth,
ReplyDeleteI feel your post has really challenged me to work ahead and make time a few days before to study for a mid-term. But who am I kidding, I didn't look into it till the night before. I think the true problem for me and you and probably 80 percent of college students is time management. We can be better!!!!
