The Cycle of School..

They were talking about this the other day..and it made me think about who much I like the rhythm of school. You know, the slow start..and then the two weeks of intense testing..followed by a break and then another start of gearing up for the tests. It happens in almost all parts of academia, including college. I guess it made me think about how prepared and how much I like the rhythm. If it weren't there I would see the point of working hard. I guess I'm kind of weird, because I actually like to go to school and learn. While, I don't always learn, I like that I'm given this kind of pattern to follow. I'm not looking forward to these tests, but I know that I will do my very best on them. I took my SAT yesterday..and I was surprised at how easy the test was. Okay, so maybe I'm jumping the gun, but when I say easy, I mean that I finished with 5 minutes to go on every section of the test, including the essay. Is that to say that I'm not nervous about my score, the answer is no? I in fact, think that because I thought it was so not hard..that I'm probably going to get a score that is really really low. I also noticed that no one else finished as quickly as me, so maybe I'm just weird and totally missed something..that everyone else knew? I do know that I nailed my essay!! Who knew that...AP Classes actually prepared you for the SAT?!?

Anyways...on the other hand, I have five days, counting today, to study/review material for the APUSH exam. I'm really not super worried, I scored well on the Mock, but on the other hand..I am, because this test is what proves what I have/have not learned in this course. Okay, so maybe it doesn't prove that, because I know I have learned a lot from this course...and overall I'd do it all again if I could. Anyways, wish me luck on my studying endeavors..and on my study group for tomorrow..I am still putting it together..off to call people.

Later folks!
