Mid-Term Horror

If you have been following my blog, you know that I am taking ENG 323 up at Cal Poly for my Independent Component. My mentor, Karen Russikoff, teaches this class and it's absolutely enthralling. She's very lively and fun and it's obvious that she loves what she does through her teaching. On Wednesday, our class had a mid-term. (insert scream here) A great way to spook the students just in time for Halloween. Since it's a 300 class, the content on the mid-term was quite a heavy load and I had to spend hours studying just to make sure I cover all the topics. I even met up with some other colleagues in my class so we can study together, plus they gave me a free scan-tron because I'm too cheap to buy a packet myself. You should've seen me on the day of the mid-term. I was freaking out and studying non-stop just to make sure I would do well. Of course, being the over-achiever I am, I always feel inclined to do my best in everything I do and since this is a 300 class, I felt more obligated to do so. This was my chance to show everyone that I can take a higher level class and perform well because I am fast and I am smart. :] The laborious hours of studying paid off because I was able to zip past the test and finish within 20 minutes (quite impressive considering it was 100 questions. I surprised myself). I had time to double check my answers and even go as far as triple checking them before I felt like my test was ready to be turned in. Next week, I should be getting my results. Let's all hope that I get an [e]!
