Tests.
I have come to the ultimate realization that I suck at taking tests.
I worry too much about the overarching themes and ignore the tiny mistakes. Goddamn. I always do and I really hope that it doesn't badly effect my French tests that I took this week. The midterm and the oral part were full of little things that I know that I could've done better on if I wasn't freaking out..I really like to believe that I am pretty intelligent, though with all the lame things I do during a test I don't know. That and I was kind of frustrated that my "test partner" seemed to have gotten the easier questions, in addition to being asked the questions after me so I had to go first. I just hope to do better next time, but for some reason the 3 times I've had French tests this semester have been bad days in general. I just want to do well, and I think I do understand the content so, we'll see how I did. I just hate being put on the spot to write a paragraph or answer questions in a foreign language and be graded. If I wasn't graded so heavily on these "big" things that I freak out about, I'm sure I'd do better.
In other news I have 2 "tri-midterms" next week for my two social studies courses. I did well on both of those, despite making small mistakes once more.
I forgot to turn in my homework so I have to go do that now.
I came to a lo of realizations this past week or so. One is that I really don't think that Pittsburgh is so much better for me and that a lot of the negativity that I've gotten about Philadelphia is based out of my current situation. Given different factors I think it might have more to offer here. I really don't know. I'm reconsidering transferring. I mean, I'll be back for summers so, I don't know. There's a lot of things that I've been rethinking.
I just hope that my stupid mistakes aren't going to hurt my grade. There's still the midterm and another test so I hope that I can get that A that I want, but if not I guess a B would be decent..
I like having this time which I'm not worrying about art class. I still have to go withdraw from it though. I'm not working tomorrow, though I'm working Friday, which unfortunately is suppose to be the nicest weather.
Anyway, end. I need to remember to turn back on my phone after leaving it on silent..I'm glad that I got some sleep today, but am scared/awaiting my French results. Whatever.
