Within Sight

Ha! I arrived early to class and got a parking spot! Therefore I have a little time on my hands. The end of Summer school is within sight! I can see it. Only a week and a half left. But there is so much to do within that small window of time. We have 1 more exam 5 more quizes, and a final. And lets not even get started with thinking about how much homework there will be! These past few days were not as hard as my normal days are. The time leading up to exams have been really great for me this semester. Which is the polar opposite of how it normally is for me. I am a really bad test taker. I could be one of the best in the classes and fail my tests. It's just the way it has always been for me. But in this class I have been able to retain things, for the most part. And the tests haven't completely stumped me thus far. Fingers crossed! Tomorrow I get my last exam's score back. I'm so anxious. The first exam I could tell that I did well. There were only a few things that I wasn't sure about. But with this one, it was a little harder and I felt a little more rushed. So I wasn't able to go back through and check my answers at the end. But I gave it my best go. The most wonderful thing about exam days is the fact that we have no homework :) That is if you finished all the homework you were supposed to before the exam and don't have to play catch up on that "free" day. I always finish before, so I always have a "free" day. Yesterday kind of flopped though. I ended up feeling like I didn't know what I really wanted to do. I guess what would've been best was if I would've been able to take a nap. Oh well. I made a scrapbook page from our trip to LA this year, and went out to dinner with my cousins and Aunt (it was my Aunt's bday), then I came home and watched the movie Remember Me. Well, I need to head over to my classroom now! I hope this mini post makes you all happy. I hope to get back into my blogging asap!

Yay! so happy to hear that you're surviving, and doing well in that class. I can't wait till you can blog regularly...I miss it!

A blog! Yes!!

I'm counting the days down with you and for you!

Test taking is a strange skill. I don't think anyone starts out as an expert in it. Tests take practice and patience. I felt that I finally mastered the testing skill my last year in college (UGH!).

You better celebrate when the semester is over!

thanks ladies! I feel like this semester has been a lot of work for me. I don't know how I did two classes last Summer. Well I suppose part of it was that I was taking much easier math back then :) Anyways... Shelly I am counting down the days until you tell us your big news ;) After I finish my homework tonight I am done with homework for this class :) The rest will just be studying and test taking! So so close! ONE WEEK :D
