Exams are over but still busy


 


  Prom was this past weekend! 
It was a busy weekend. I still feel like I didn't have enough sleep. I was seriously up until 3 in the morning. Despite the face that exams are over.. I still have had many things to do. I'm currently in that I don't feel like doing anything mode but I still have plenty to do. 
I just finish exams on Friday. I am super anxious for one of my classes to post the final grade because I am right now A/B borderline. It's driving me insane. I just hope that the last grades to be posted are very good so I could snatch that A. 
On the bright side, I've been busy settling everything for UNC in the fall (Go Tarheels!) I've been desperately been trying to send my immunization records. (I have gone through so many people just trying to get a copy!)  Excitingly, I finally found a roommate for my freshmen year! I can't wait to physically meet her. Oh, the marvelous opportunities social networking provides. 
Even though  I'm technically done with my senior year. I'm still busy with my high school. I have graduation coming up and have to still order all the medals and cords that I gratefully earned. I still have to finish out my high school class AP Literature and take the AP test Thursday. I'm not too worried about that test though. I found out it doesn't even cover the UNC English requirement so I can't do much about that. It seems like I should be winding down but I am surely just winded up.
It's been busy this year but so far it's been great. I just can't wait to leave this high school. Knowing that I'm going to have a great summer with my club swim team and family and attending one of the best universities in the nation makes me soo ready to leave Foard. 




Prom, Exams, Rehearsals, College, 
Etc..

If you're taking a test and you know the goal to achieve an A isn't possible.. Forget the A the goal is to SURVIVE.


Have you ever taken a test where things just aren't fair? You studied days upon days. You created endless amount of outlines. Then you take the test. You know the amount you studied deserved at least an A. Then while your taking the test, it's like it's written in another language. Or your teacher decided to pack over one hundred questions in less than 50 minutes. Or the audio that was supposed to go with the last question of the test but it didn't work so you wasted valuable test time to wait for the audio. Pretty annoying ehh? It just comes to times likes this where you just forget that A and survive. I received my test back today and yep, I didn't receive an A. But on the plus I SURVIVED and I PASSED. When 75% of the class didn't even pass it, well that makes you feel pretty special. Issues with the test, issues with the teacher, issues with the overall subject. I'm determined though to get an A in this class. Now that I know how this teacher tests, I know I can do better on her next test. I need to start studying for finals NOW. I'm going to write a killer lab report. I will get an A.

On the side note: remember, Kirsten, you still have to prepare your final speech, prepare for your final in sociology, your piano recital, finish reading Book Thief, and prepare for the AP literature exam so do that too.
