Exams

Bun B. & Ludacris - Trill Recognize Trill

Cut me some slack if this is slightly incoherent. I crawled into my bed last night at 3am, and fell asleep within seconds. 10 minutes later, at 5:30am, the alarm went off. I hate waking up in the first place, but this was ten times worse than ever before.

I dragged myself to the computer and started some hot water going for tea since I can't reach the coffee maker over all the dirty dishes. After looking at the web for a little bit, I hit the books again for my first exam. I answered every single question on the review sheet, and even flipped back and forth on the bold vocab. I ate some chicken wings; they were breakfast, naturally. I took my shower, picked some clothes out of the dryer and drove off to class.


I talked with a girl in there who was a missed opportunity from weeks ago. The test was handed out, and everything went dead quiet. I can safely say I would be surprised if I passed it. The lowest test grade gets dropped, so it's not that big of a deal, but it was really rough.

The second exam was a makeup from the school being closed for the catastrophic blizzard that hit Dallas, dropping at least 1/4" of snow. I sat and studied for about an hour and then decided to take it. The story was originally more interesting, but I decided it'd be in my best interest to lay low. IM me if you want the details.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I aced it... two down, two to go.

Exams suck. The school should work on an honors system. If the students say they grok the material, the school should take their word for it. It would definitely make this world a much more trusting and caring place.

I don't mind taking exams, but I do wish they weren't all at the same time. Blasphemy, I'm sure, but it would be nice if they were staggered out over 10 days instead of 5. That way students wouldn't have to cram for every class every night for a week. It would be more of review, and much easier to take. Oh well.
