finals

Taking a quick break from studying so that I can fill y'all in on what's been going on. 

Friday I had two finals: Phonetics and Spec Mind. Phonetics was 18 pages long but okay. I'd studied really hard so I'm hoping that went pretty well. I was the first one out of the room 1 hour and 55 minutes after the exam began and the last person left 2 hours and 45 minutes after we started. I think it was okay. We'll see.

Spec Mind I probably got a B on. (Please allow me to remind you that B's are really quite good grades around here). Even the exam itself made me think. One of the essays made us write about a situation in which someone we knew had to use a certain tactic to confront somebody they thought was doing something wrong. I wrote about Chris and Ashley. 

This afternoon I had Civ Arts. I studied really hard so I probably got an A. The essay on that one was really cool - he put up on the projector a picture that we'd never seen before and, based on what we'd learned in class about different artists and periods, we had to tell him what period of time the painting was from and who created it. I couldn't help grinning the entire time - it's essays like that where I feel like I really learned something. So cool.

Monday I have my last two tests - Verbs and CivLit. We'll see how Verbs goes. We have only one exam in that class and it's worth 50% of our grade so I'm really really nervous about that. Lit will be a breeze, so it's good to have that for my last exam of the year. 

Finals are a really strange time. I can't tell what day of the week it is, ever, because every single day feels like a Monday. I got up at 6:45 this morning to study. That's no way to spend a lovely Saturday. But this is what I do. And it only gets worse from here. :)

Anyways, I'm counting down the hours till I'm done with exams and looking forward to sleeping in on Tuesday. Mmm lovely.
