So it is already that time of the semester. Exam time.
My round one looked like it was going to start off badly. I got sick the night before my first exam, which meant I did not study as much as I had planned or as much as I normally would have. So I woke the morning of the exam knowing I wouldn't being doing well on my first Horticulture exam, yet I knew I still had the rest of the semester to make up for this first exam. I got to class with the rest of my classmates and all of us were nervous for the exam, especially, when the professor gave us the multiple choice and said "Go, you've got ten minutes!" We were frantic. Then he collects them, hands out the rest of the exam and then says "Go home!" A huge sigh of relief and happy murmurs spread across the room. "Go home" is equivalent to "this exam is take home" when you, the student, have the exam in your hands. Yeah! Thank goodness because I was not ready for the exam questions that ended up being on the test. For once, I can say I got sick for a reason and I am alright with it because I didn't waste time studying for it. It upsets me when I spend time on something and it turns out that I didn't need to. The take home exam wasn't very tough since I had the class notes, powerpoints, textbook, and internet at my fingertips back at my dorm. And I worked on it with a friend. It was great!
Hort exam down, o-chem and stats to go.
After today's review in stats, I feel that the exam next week will not be too hard. Also, part of it is take home! Yeah, again! However, organic chemistry will be a different story. It will require studying notes, flashcards, and reading all weekend and right up to exam time Wednesday evening. Oh o-chem, you are not going to be easy! Ugh.
At this point, I would say my round one of exams for this spring semester are going to be like a roller coaster ride with several ups and downs, and chances are so will rounds two and three of exams. It'll be great when it's all said and done.
