A Sigh of Well Needed Relief
This past weekend I studied like crazy for my History exam that was today. I thought I would never be able to remember all of the terms, but I kept working hard and I finally had them all down. I woke up earlier this morning to do some extra studying, and when it was time to go to class I felt pretty ready for my exam. When I got to my history class, I felt so nervous and nautious. I have bad test anxiety, and I usually forget everything I studied and blank out, but I didn't this time! Must have been all of that persistent studying. Anyway, when I got my test, I was so confident while taking it. I knew all of the material, and even though the essay took some extra time and thinking, I felt confident that I did great. I think I made no less than a B, but I'm hoping for an A. I also got 4 bonus points from a quiz we took last week, so that will help too. I also had a biology exam today, which I had not even begun to study for since I was so wrapped up in History. I had an hour and a half to study, so I started answering questions on the practice test handout she recommended us buy at the beginning of the semester. I was getting irritated because it was taking so much time to do and I had a feeling most of those questions wouldn't even be on the test, so I just started reading over my notes. I read over them about 3 times, and it turns out that's EXACTLY what I needed to do. The test was pretty much nothing but note material. I was so worried I was going to fail the test due to lack of studying, but the test was easy and I felt confident. I also got all of the bonus questions right. Today has been a great day, and a HUGE sigh of relief. I was dreading today because of these tests, but today made me realize I worry WAY too much. I was just fine :)
