I have for this week, entered into the vicious cycle of midterms. They started Tuesday, and the last day for midterms is next Monday. I must take a two hour test twice a day. I have nine classes but seven subjects to study for, and I
am exhausted. So far I have taken my French and Honors Chemistry midterm and they will probably leave a mark for sometime. I spent my Tuesday night talking to the ladybugs who are still flying around my kitchen; and have been questioned of my sanity to which I reply the number of hours I am sleeping per night. My study skills have been anything but productive, however the thought of only three more tests till the weekend keeps me going. I absolutely love dinner time and potty breaks- they are excellent excuses for doing nothing for the next ten minutes to regain my focus.
I have for a long time questioned the practice of midterms- why must we be tested on everything we have learned for the past five months, and expected to do well? All of my teachers hate midterms (they are a pain to grade) and we kids hate to study for them (especially when your midterm is the next day and you haven't started yet). Since no one in the learning and educational community like midterms I suggest that we band the practice and just rely on normal tests to see how much we know.
Those for you so agree say "I!"
