Grades.

Yesterday I had my second History exam. She gave us a study guide with two possible essay questions, and on the actual test there would only be one. She did not give us any hints as to which she would put on the test, as she shouldn't because that would be "babying" us. Well, I focused more on one essay question than the other, simply because I felt more comfortable with that one; I had more information for that one than the other. And we have to write and actual essay on the test. Five paragraphs like you would a normal essay, and it counts for 50 points(half the test!). Well, with my luck, when I received the test yesterday, the essay question I DIDN'T study was the one she chose. I felt panicked and I did not what I was going to do. I can't just pull a rabbit out of my ass and say "well-lah!" I looked in my brain for any possible information I could remember about that essay question. The result: a jumbled mess of only half the information she asked for. My essay was pathetic and I am sure she will read it and tear it apart. I have come to find that I am a little hard on myself when it comes to my grades. So far I have all As, and I need to keep the grades that good if I expect to be able to transfer to Auburn WITH a scholarship. Money is tight and my dad told me the only way I will be going to Auburn is if I have a scholarship. Believe me, I hear him every day reminding me to apply for scholarships. I hope that I did not do too bad on my history exam. I have a 96.6 average in that class right now, and I do not want it to drop considerably because I was careless about studying for a test.
