And Life Goes On...

I always found it odd that when something happens which you don't want to happen happens and it passes and you find yourself still alive and moving on. And no, nothing drastic or life threatening has happened. I mean, I lead a pretty dull life even though I wish it were not. I'm talking about my first set of college exams. (I finally figured out what the difference was between high school and college being how the exams here are all close to one another.)

Well, I took my bio test first on the twenty-seventh of September... then I had my chem test on Tuesday and my anthropology and calculus test was on Wednesday. It reeked. It seriously sucked.

Lo and behold, though, I actually sat down and studied for my first test and after between three to four hours of secluding myself in the library, I came out feeling somewhat confident (because I really am never confident for a test) and having a huge headache. Guess what? I passed the test - BY TWO POINTS!!! That made me remember why I never really studied in high school. lol... Anyway... yeah. I waited for the next exams to come on by and I prepared for my death - because it really was that bad. I despise tests. I get all nervous or something. It's like I think I may do good but I end up doing bad or so on and so forth. It just plain sucks. For me, tests have nothing to do with brains. It has everything to do with luck (with guessing, of course - because there is ALWAYS those couple of questions that just stumps you) and your intuition (your sixth sense, if you will). I mean, those two items made me pass all of my tests in High School.

Yeah well, college is different. I ended up failing the chem test. So now, I have failing chem quiz grades AND a chem test. On the plus side, I get two of my lowest grades dropped OR if I fail the entire semester and I make an A or a B on the final, I can get an A or a B for the semester. I'm rooting for the final. In order words, I am so dead. (Watch me pass the final still living life on...)

Anyway, along with the tests, the classes are still going on as usual. Like Wednesday? That day was hectic. Two tests, one quiz, one project due... Oh man. I was SO relieved when the day ended. It was like a dream come true! Of course, the day ended with another headache - but that's not the point. It was the end of Testing Period 1! ...Well, until next month. Ugh.

And here it is, the weekend. I'm still awake and it's 0537 in the morning and apparently, I'm reverting back to my nocturnal ways because I'm not really sleepy. I'm going to the mall tomorrow with some friends and I have a math assignment due on Monday. I must commend myself on my excellent time management skills. :)

Hm... on the plus side, two of my friends from Baylor are visiting on the thirteenth!

-snort- Funny how I'm so excited for Friday, October the Thirteenth to get its move on over here.

Oh! I almost forgot. I just made my switch into the College of Liberal Arts official on Friday. lol... I am officially an anthropology major now! I'm so excited. Only two more months of math! OK, Iris, you can do it!(Another interesting thing is how I'm switching from the most expensive college on campus to the cheapest college on campus. WELCOME MONEY!!!)

Oh yes...and something just for pure amusement and a source of brain food (I found it on a livejournal):
