readingredheadSo I really don't wanna take Vargish's test tomorrow because it's my last chance to try and get a 40 on the essay and I think this is one of the least likely things that could happen. I keep saying that if I am ridiculously prepared then maybe I'll be able to but at the same time I don't know if I can be ridiculously prepared.
I don't want to write about WWII; it was so long ago. I think I'd be okay writing about something cultural, but that means I'd have to go look back over all the civil rights movement, and I just really want to sleep or something similar.
It's interesting, because today when I was taking a shower I was standing there in the shower and I suddenly felt this odd swell of confidence in my abilities as a person and as an AP/IB student and test-taker. For a minute I had this rush of certainty that I would do everything I set out to and that I really would live through this most tumultuous of times.
But for some reason that didn't apply to the Vargish exam tomorrow, and looking at the amount of material we have to cover, I think I can see why. I have also just realized how funny it is that I spend so much time focusing on which essay to write that I don't worry about studying for the multiple choice, even though the multiple choice is worth more.
I guess what is really bothering me is that it seems like everything is moving so fast and I'm not even given enough time to decide what my priorities are. I feel like I'm always rushing around from place to place.
Well, let the rushing begin again; I'm off to go and outline possible Vargish essays. May I and my fellow sufferers still be alive come tomorrow.

Date: 2006-04-26 08:58 pm (UTC)In return I will give you the poem I wrote at the bottom of my essay today:
Free at last, free at last,
Thank God Almighty, I am free at last!
With my luck, this'll be the 8th exam I've passed
And I can keep on shouting, "Free at last!"
Not inventive, but I felt inspired. :)
