Studying….

Oo, dramatic title. Could be true, though. There are only two more days of going to school left, but on those two days, I have exams. The hardest exams for the hardest classes, too. Spanish and chemistry.

I am really terrible at both of these subjects. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten above and 80 in Spanish over the school year, and I hardly ever got above and 85 in chemistry this year. My best grade in chemistry this year, or at least I think it was my best grade, I got on the last day of real school. Unfortunately, since it was the last day of real school, my teacher awarded everybody with 100s. Yippee.

So. Now tomorrow I have the Spanish exam, which could very well be the hardest exam all year, not being in English and all. Then next comes chemistry, which, if the Spanish exam turns out to be easy, could be the hardest exam all year. Two hard exams within the next two days and I can not sit my butt down to study for more than three minutes. I don’t know what it is about me and studying. It’s like as soon as I open a book to review, my attention span goes kerplop.

Worse, if I get worried (like I am now) I go into slug/slob/procrastinator mode. I eat junk food, I pace, I spend periods of time going through my dvd/book collection…. I just can’t get to studying!

….At least when I tried the practice exam in the Spanish review book, I got every question that I did do (about four) correct. Yay!

[Edit: At the top of the post it says that it has a dramatic title. This is because the title was dramatic before I changed it. I forgot to edit out the top part.]

    I still say Spanish is one of the hardest languages to learn. So many consonants… Wow. It makes my head hurt just thinking about that exam you’ll be taking.

    But you have actually taken a Spanish class, so I know you’ll do fine! :D Good luck with both of your tests!

    Uh, I’m not a real doctor but I’m guessing that your inability to study comes from that strange disease of teenager-itis. Just a thought.

    Plus summer school is kind of fun. The people are at least interesting.
