Next week is exams and I'm not really nervous but the fact that I'm not nervous is making me nervous. Does that make sense? haha. So anyways....tomorrow is my last day of dance class which makes me really sad. I know for sure I'm going to have an A in that class. I also have a solid A in mythology. I know I'll end up with a B in math and probably in archaeology but I'm so scared about this social problems class. It's a stupid class and I don't ever go which isn't a big deal since a lot of people never go to class and as long as you get good grades who cares, right? Well.....I do well on all of the assignments and I've done all of the extra credit. But I have gotten C's on both tests. I go to the reviews and they are totally not helpful. Her tests just suck. I always think, "why am I listening to her lecture about the definitions of prejudice and alcoholism?" I know what those things are and I have plenty of examples of them in my life but then she tests us on it and I bomb! She wants us to learn statistics...like the actual number of alcoholics in the U.S. in 2002. So it comes down to this final test and I don't know where to begin to study. I don't want to study the same way I've been studying for the other tests because I didn't do well on them. Ugh....I just wish I knew that everything will turn out ok and that I shouldn't be worrying so much but how can I know that? I just really want to go home!
I get back the 29th but that's kind of bothering me too. My best friend's 21st birthday is the Friday of exam week and it will be great to celebrate the end of the year and her birthday but it just seems like a hassle knowing that I have to move out of the dorm by noon on Saturday. She plans on everyone being wasted, but if I get drunk I'm not going to want to get up early and drive home. I will probably have my car packed already by my exam time on Friday so I won't have to worry about that, but her plans seem like too much to do before driving for 5 hours. She wants to go to dinner, then bar hopping then she's going to dump me off somewhere so her and her boyfriend can have sex. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like very good timing.
Anyone have any good advice or words of encouragement?
