here we are, a month into school, and ihave failed my first test. who would have thought that old testament pentateuch class could be so tricky? it is not that the class is particularly hard, nor is it that i didnt study, what is was however, was that the questions on the test were so evasive. it was hard to grasp what the professor was trying to ask. while going over the test in class, i knew the answers to most of the ones i missed. i managed to get by with getting half of the test right....ah me, this is just not cool. i suppose i could start going to bed before 4am, i could start my homework earlier than 2am, and i could memorize that study guide, but quite frankly, i dont think any of those would work. what is worse, however, is that this class only has three test, one of which i failed. there is a ton of reading, great lectures and three tests!! i should be able to pass this class with flying colors...the test was only on the first two chapters in Genesis. the next test is to be Genesis 2-Deuteronomy.....that's alot of reading. this test which covered two chapters was 6 1/2 pages long, i cant imagine what the next test will be like.
my day seems ruined. i wanted to get good grades in all my classes, and already, a month into "working" i fail a test. perhaps i should call Dr. Clark and ask him for extra work i can do to make up for that test...that is what i need to do. i canot have a failing grade in my name.
so finally, i suppose i should work harder, spend less time whopping ass in ping bong and boxing, and spend more time being a nerd.
