On loosing my mind and studying too much
I spent the past month cramming my head full of things that I had forgotten after I had graduated from Miami 3 and a half years ago. I had realized that if I didn't take my Praxis 2 exam now, and if I somehow managed to fail the exam in January, I would be screwed for student teaching and grad school in June. I had bought Sparks Notes Lit 101 - I'l be honest, I had used Spark Notes when I was in school, but the point of the book this time was not to get me out of reading anything for class, but as a review of the books that had a high chance of being on the test. It's by no means a full version of the books that you would find in the store or online, but it had a general plot of the book, listing of characters, and a quote list. It was perfect for what I needed.
Along with that I also bought the Cliffs Notes study guide for my Praxis 2 exam (0041 English Language Lit and Comp for anyone that might care). I had heard some bad things about the ETS guide, so I didn't feel like dropping $30 on that. Although I ended up getting an older version of it later. They both ended up coming in handy.
I just never want to look at either book for a very, very long time.
Saturday I took my test, which was preceded by two days of total meltdown on my part because I was/am worried sick about the test results. I think I did okay. I should know in 2-4 weeks. I don't want to take that freaking test again. I'm still in a pseudo meltdown, and will most likely be that way until I finish my finals this week.
I just really, really hope I passed the test first time around. I never want to face it again. The second part of praxis 2, the practicum, that should be a breeze. Common sense from what I understand.
Now, I just need to pass my com final on Thursday, keep my 4.0, pass praxis with flying colors, and I'll be a happy camper.
PS, whoever decided to leave the AC on outside, can you please turn it off? It's too cold. Global warming my cold bottom. Ugh I hate Ohio in the Fall/Winter.
