Exam Day

I had my first exam this morning, Media Studies. It took me a long while to consider myself ready for this exam. In a final act of desperation I hurriedly read over my notes and model answers at the breakfast table. I anxiously watched the time on the stove and at 6:40 a.m. I finally left. Upon arriving at my exam I discovered several things:

-I was the only one from my Media Studies Class at the Exam
-I wasn't in the correct exam room
-I ended up having to share the classroom, with those taking a Physics Exam

I must admit I was a little disoriented.

Now that my first exam is over, I have two hours to study before my second exam which is English. I am absolutely freaking out. I've done a load of studying but I still don't know if I'm ready yet. I'm already feeling the pressure. I have had to study things such as as Unfamiliar Texts, War Poetry and Films. Speaking of films, one of my take home assignments for this test was to write an essay on one of the four films shown in class. I choose Gone with the Wind as my essay subject. It's controversial and I like controversy. My take on the film isn't a popular one so I think it will either be a hit or a miss with my teacher.

Wish me luck!

Still want to read it--remember this was written, and made, over 70 years ago!! Now you have to read the book and see if you still feel the same way about the story--but would love for you to post the essay.

Good luck buddy, know that we all cross our fingers (but as a teacher i need to say that crossing fingers isnt enough). Believe in yourself and you will manage. Dont worry too much it doesnt help, Matt. To relax, when studying, isten to some nice music now and then!

Would love to read your essay on Gone with The Wind and your unpopular take on it.
You sound like AJ--always worrying about something and coming through with flying colors--now I'll have to get on your back about wasting time worrying which doesn't help anything!!

I'm sure that you will do well--I would enjoy reading your paper on GONE WITH THE WIND. But Ms Scarlet, I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin no babies!

Best of luck, always.
EXAMS...I home schooled my son part-time, we did 9 & 10th grades at home, unfortunately I did not teach him note taking, nor did we have EXAMS. I feel the only point of any test is for the teacher to know if he/she is getting the subject across? And then go forward or do more re-views. So he didn't have the TEST stuff down. And he did well anyway.

Best of luck on your exams, Matt. This is bringing back memories of my high school years.
