So I am super glad that my semester is almost over. My school runs by a block schedule so, all our classes change halfway through the year and we only take four classes at a time. Huge combo platter, the good, the bad, the ugly. Having fewer subjects at a time is absolutely stellar (the good) . But then, I'm in each class for over an hour, which can get tiring (the bad). And we have to go through the stress of finals and midterms for times total, once now and once in June (the ugly). Okay, well maybe that's not the ugly; it can be a positive. But right now, on the eve of the third day of four days of finals, I'm pretty much done. Today was a half day, which made life a tad easier. But still, I'm dreaming about this upcoming three day no homework weekend! Ah, can't wait! And then we rush right back into school- it's the first day of school without the long relaxing summer and the thrill of "oh did they change over the summer!". Craziness...
And at the same time, we're in crazy rehearsal for the festival play. The festival play is a 40 minute play we put on with just 20 people and 5 weeks; which then gets sent to compete against the rest of the state. It's super fun and super fast.
I'm a little all over the place in this one... But do you schools have drama comps? slash block schedules slash crazy finals?
hey marlees!
ReplyDeletei know how you feel about midterms. i have been insane-hyperstudying for weeks now, and am going crazy. the tests are next week, and i was (for a couple hours) considering skipping the speech obama is making in my city to study. lol, then my friend talked some sense into me....but still. any ideas for relaxing techniques? i have so much to do, sleep isnt a very high priority.
just two days of finals rite? i think u said 4...w.e. but it's ALL over now!! yay!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, finals. Enough said. My school also has the weird switching-subjects-halfway-through-the-year schedule thing. In a few days I'm scheduled to switch to Social Studies class (appropriately, right after Obama's inauguration -and btw, Hannah, I am so glad your friend talked some sense into you, how dare you pick studying over an Obama speech!)
ReplyDeleteAnna Lizzle - we have two days this semester and two days in June!
ReplyDeleteGood choice Hannah!!
