The Stress Is Over!
In high school you're used to having a lot of time to prepare and learn your material until midterms. They're usually in December but not in college. We have midterms in October. October is also a busy month for a college student. You're just getting used to the college student life and adjusting. All of a sudden comes the madness.
Study is the most stressful thing. Staying up all night, cramming different dates and facts into your head, group studying, or flash cards gets tiring. Even though studying is a must for midterms it gets overwhelming. Especially if you have them back to back or in the same day.
My midterms grades for the season were okay. They could've been better. For finals I plan to make a studying plan. I studied to a certain extent. I know for a fact a could've done so much better. Although I accomplished two of my goals I know I could've done better.
My goal in my Algebra class was to get a 75 or better on the midterm. I actually got an 84. I didn't really study for it because I figure it's either I know how to do the math or I don't. I looked over my notes at least once just to refresh my memory but I don't really study for math. Archaeology surprised me I expected a 70 or better. I ended up getting an 80. I was so excited. I could've studied more and got a better grade. I can't be satisfied with a ' just getting by' grade.
My COM midterm was my worst. I'm disappointed in myself for not doing the reading. That's what the midterm was based on. Even though my grade was excellent in that class the exam bought it down a letter grade. Next time I'm just going to read a little every day so I can get it done and take notes on it for the final. That's my favorite class and I know I can get an A.
For the second half of the semester I want to study a lot more. Every Friday and Wednesday I want to recap what I've learned just to know the material I'm learning. Since Im finally getting use to my schedule I know I can do so much better this next half.
