The Onset Of Midterms


ToM Dracone

328 views

It's that time of the year again. From Tuesday to Thursday this week, I have midterms, and for perhaps the first time in my life I'm actually a bit worried about them. AP Bio especially.

 

Tuesday:

Latin ~ Probably an easy test, but studying for it is exhausting, because it requires reading about 800 lines of the Aeneid in two days...

Euro ~ Not sure... I'm fairly confident that I know what I need to for it (in this case, studying = reading through my notebook), but I also don't remember what exactly is on the exam. (I.e. multiple choice, short answer, essays?) I guess I'll ask Youri and Kate in the hours after the Latin exam; this is actually the first time in three years I'll be able to study for an exam with them...

 

Wednesday:

Calculus ~ Somehow or other, I feel pretty confident about this. Don't know why, since just last week I was dreading it.

English ~ ...Eh. I've never liked English exams. Might be my easiest exam, though.

 

Thursday:

Biology ~ I'M GONNA DIE. There's so much to know. Again, this is all reading through my (copiously filled) notebook, then looking back at answers I wrote for tests, and hoping to Mata Nui that he doesn't make one of the two (LONG) essay questions about photosynthesis or cellular respiration. Because while I understand them, I can't explain them in detail beyond the really basic steps.

Greek ~ No idea. I don't know enough vocabulary, mainly. Especially all those small words whose meanings I never remember. I guess Katie and I will quiz each other beforehand or something.

 

*deep breath* And I have to write a DBQ for Euro today... guess I'll go do that soon. :lookaround: It figures, all this happens as I finally get to a point in QfLD where I know what to write next...

 

By the way, Janus is awesome. There are some things best said with biting sarcasm, and he does so wonderfully.

Uh oh.

 

If you're having midterms, I'm having midterms... Guess I should start thinking about studying, huh?

 

EDIT: D... B... Q...?

 

Document-Based Question. You're given a packet of 11-12 historical documents, from which you have to write an essay analyzing them. In half an hour. Evil things. >>

I had mid-terms back before xmas, of course, they are nothing like yours. ;) Good luck. :) I was horribly worried and I got a high A on all of them, except in Algebra. I do not know if this will happen to you too, but it helps to have some coffee before the tests. ;) lol

Tek and Lluvio ~ I take (Ancient) Greek because I wanted to learn it, of course. ^_^ I pretty much have a fascination with the origins of things, and Latin and Ancient Greek both provide a lot of linguistic roots...

 

Windeh ~ That's not encouraging. >>

 

Wil ~ I don't drink coffee... I like the smell, though. At any rate, Sprite or Coke/Pepsi might work just as well for my afternoon exams...
