Grrr...I have a Russian history midterm tomorrow that's worth 40% of my overall grade. I haven't done the math, but I'm pretty sure that means I have to get an A on it to get an A in the class. Which, you know, isn't necessary, but would be really nice. I see no reason not to get A's in English and history classes. Now if I were being forced to take math I'd probably let myself go a little bit, but as it is, it's history. And I know it.

(For a minute though--really, whom am I kidding? Me, let myself go? Preposterous proposition.)

Anyway, I feel like I haven't studied enough because there are definitely things I don't know, and I'm just hoping they won't end up on the test--I'll be really pissed (and frankly surprised) if they do. Not worried about essays because we've got four options and only have to write two, but the IDs are worth 20% of the grade and it's just two terms we have to define, no picking and choosing.

I'm a little worried about time. Two essays, two IDs, one and a half hours. My last history midterm was the same length of time and consisted of one essay and four IDs. I don't think I'll be able to do justice to the essay topics in one and a half hours. I could totally own them with just a little more time!

In other words, my Shakespeare midterm went well. One of the EC questions was definitely from Hamlet -- Laertes to Ophelia, "Weigh what loss your honor may sustain" -- and I was instantly transported back to Krucli's class with Rob yelling out "family honor" as the answer to every question.

My plan for tonight is to get to sleep early, wake up early, and study until the test starts. Then I might skip out on my Shakespeare class (since I haven't done the reading and attendance really isn't mandatory) and just chill for the rest of the day, doing all the other homework I've been putting off. Sounds like a great idea, the more I think about it. I just don't like the idea of skipping class...

That sounds like a scene that could have happened in my AP Lit class...maybe all upper-level Lit classes have the same sort of awesome people.

Yeah, skipping class makes me uncomfortable too, even though people hardly care in college.

Good luck...

I love upper-level lit classes, specifically the teachers -- they end up being these crazy awesome people. I'm okay skipping this class because he podcasts and our midterm was last class so I don't think he's evil enough to have an in-class quiz...otherwise I would have gone.
