Exams

My least favourite time of the year is upon us. Examination time. Again this year we end up writing exams in the classrooms. Normally we write in the gym/cafe but normally it is hot and horrible to sit through. Last semester was in the gym seeing as the middle of winter is okay, but when it is suppose to be, you know, hot or something, I go to school wearing the uniform sweater that I haven't worn since Easter since we don't have to (the vest I have worn, but not the sweater) it was that cold. That and wearing the uniform while writing the exam makes it seem like a large test.

The government was stupid to lower the number of exam days we can have. So for our school to be able to find out if the grads are actually graduating our exam days were pushed back into our school days. Today we had to go write our first period exam and then attend class. I was going to leave early to study but 'twin 2' (who really needs a better name) and I planned to study together and she wanted to attend the 2 classes she has (stupid co-op has no exams). So I stayed the entire day. By the time I got to physics (my last class) I was the only girl left with 9 guys. No one else showed up to the class. So I mainly actually focused on studying in class, but its my last exam.

I gave up on studying already, I know I should but I figured I looked at the question I know is on the exam. Right before I go into my accounting exam I plan on memorizing the net income so I know if I have it right or not. Also having an idea of what the worksheet over all looks like would be some help. Somehow I'm not so worried about this exam even though I need at least 92% on the exam to keep my mark, and 97% if I want my mark to up 1%. At least the teacher believes that test are for harder questions and exams for finishing to make sure the have the information learnt. You can memorize something right before a test, but an exam takes more knowledge so it proves that something stuck.

What I don't understand are people who pull away from the rest of the world during exams to study. Even though its a big part of school, studying to much isn't the greatest. I will confess that I probably don't study enough, seeing as I didn't even finish the math review before the exam, but I can't study. I could sit there and try to force myself into studying but I find that to harsh. People need to take a break and learn that they know most of the stuff. Mainly what they have to do is learn what they are unsure about. Don't second guess what you know. Sure you should review it but don't over do it. People tell you need to study, but don't forget about yourself. Who knows more about what you need to study or how you should study. People tell me to study in a quiet room by myself, but I can't stand it. I need music playing or a tv on. Which caused a problem 2 years ago seeing as my sister needs the quiet.

Evil exams :@

Exams Are Postponed

-4C, felling like its -20C. Temperatures low enough for school to close. Of course there was no announcement on the radio (according to my brother). So I, who was thinking that she was late, ran to the bus stop. One of my friends was coming back from the school because she got a ride there was told there was no school, all exams are postponed. I was talking to another one of my friends a little later and she also went to the school only to be told to go home. So I have an extra day to study law before I have to write the exam, of course I would of rather that the school closed on Mon. because I really needed an extra day to study for bio. The teacher seemed to give us random questions that would include like 3 units. Over all I had to answer 5 long questions at the end and I;m pretty sure that my English essay wasn't as long. 3 pgs. single spaced has to be longer then 3 and 1/2 double-spaced. At least after I'm done law a get a 3 day weekend. I will finally be able to read again, and maybe go shopping and pick up the gloves I saw a while ago that I wanted. It sucks living closer to the small mall. The bigger one has more stores, but at least the 'small mall' has Chapters, which is bigger than the bookstore at the 'large mall'.

A Smoking Computer, and Annoying Exams

Leave it to me to be on the computer when smoke starts come from it. The moniter died beyond belief, it didn't stop working. No it had to go out with a bang, or a smoke. At least its the end of the 1st semester so I didn't any work left that I needed it for.

With the end of semester comes with exams. finished chem already, which wans't bad. All thats left is bio, english and law. I f I survive them its a long weekend for me. :) But first studying and writing exams. At least after bio is done it will all be easier. :)

Bored For Life

Of, course I can't live anywhere where there is something to do. No I'm stuck in some boring place. Can't even go anywhere, my bike has a flat tire and I now need to buy a new inner tube (which are cheap thankfully) before I can put more air in the tire to try and make it useful. And there is no where to walk to. All the good malls are a drive away, down a highway. So I decided to post. Even though there is nothing to post. Maybe that my exams are just over a week away. *shudders* Oh well, hopefully I will do well on them. To all of those with exams coming up out there Good Luck, and if you don't need luck and are extremely smart, well I have nothing to say seeing as I really don't know anyone that smart.
