School

School is stressing me out again. Well, just History Of The English Language, really. I feel like I'm not getting what I'm supposed to be learning. I'm just not absorbing it or anything. I went to the professor a couple weeks ago and told him I was worried about the class and he basically said not to worry, that I was probably getting more of it than I realized. There are too many references to complicated grammar terms in the textbook and I haven't studied grammar at all since high school and I barely remember whatever I learned then.

We were given our first exam last Wednesday. All of our exams are take-home tests for this class. I hate the questions for the exam. The questions involve just a couple paragraphs from a couple chapters in the book. The professor said he estimated our total exam would come out to be about five or six pages when we were done writing it. I got in about three pages and couldn't think of a single other thing to write. This probably does not bode well. I hope it's going to be another of those situations where I worry and fret over my grade and then it turns out I get an A or B. I'm not too confident, though. If I don't do well on this exam, I'm going to have to talk to the professor again and say "Look, I'm trying, and I'm Just. Not. Getting. This."
