I am so tired, I can barely even describe it. I accidentally overslept this morning by 40 minutes, and wound up 20 minutes late for class. I absolutely had to take a shower before I left, because combined with class, work, and then two more classes, I wanted to be at least a little decent for the day (there I go bein' all fabulous again).
Well I finally took my Astro test, and even after all that studying, I scored a 40%. Not even a D, just a flat out F.
I am officially convinced that I can't take tests. These past two semesters, I've poured hours into studying for tests only to wind up failing them. It seems like everyone else just reviews their notes and magically wind up with A's.
Even though my grade says I'm an idiot, I dare anyone to ask me anything about the subject, and I can guarantee that I can tell you anything you need to know about it, especially last semester in my health class.
So are the professors solely out to trick us? Or is it just me? It seems that I can fully comprehend the subject material, but once I sit down for the test, I know nothing. Its that, or the professor is testing me on things that were never in the textbook (believe me, I've noticed a trend with this). Its so frustrating because I need to pass these courses in order to actually go anywhere in school!
I'm too tired to write anymore. I hate school.
I also really like school. I can't wait to get past these core-classes ;(

Ha Ha. It proves my (and many other) theories that tests and quizzes are not useful tools for learning because memorizing + regurgitating is only helpful in figuring out which minds succumb to Force Mind Tricks. AKA repetitive memorization will not make facts stick, only to make immediate memorization and not long term. People learn at different paces and through different methods. Actively choosing to show up to class shows an interest in learning.
ReplyDeleteBottom line: Grades determine nothing. The knowledge you take from each class and how you apply it to your life as a whole is what matters, and what will stick.
Hang in there kiddo, only a few more days until a week of solace. :)
