Well, that's two tests down. Last night was chem; lots of plug-n-chug. So we were supposed to spend 70 minutes to answer 31 questions; I took less than half an hour to complete all 31, though I made sure I double-checked my work. On this one, I actually wasn't too worried about how well I'd do. No, I was really focused on finishing fast so I could catch a bus. Bad policy, I suppose, but hey, I had a couple minutes to spare at the bus stop and I'm happy with my grade.

Today I had my World Religions midterm. Now this one, this one I was really worried about. It seemed pretty daunting, having to answer 50 multiple choice questions in about 50 minutes; it's absolutely fine if you know the material, but if you have to give leeway for heavy mind-racking in case. So last night, amongst my games of freecell and minesweeper, not to mention a nap at 11pm, I got to bed after studying everything at about 3. That's pretty good considering I had planned to do an all-nighter.

This morning I took a couple liberties and studied a sheet of key terms during my CS class (not Counter Strike, mind you), thanks to the wonderful set-up of a lecture hall, not to mention the lack of new material. I got through at least looking up all the terms to have a vague idea of what they meant.

Then the test: I was really nervous going into it, so as soon as they said start, I raced to fill in the little bubbles. Going at a pretty flashy pace, I finished in under 15 minutes. Oops. Studied a bit too much, I suppose, but then again, I don't think I would have liked to study any less. But at least I came out feeling confident and music blaring in my ears, and at this point, that's what counts. Having loud music, that is.
