What a Week



Wow, I totally survived this week. You can't possibly imagine how much I was dreading it! As mentioned in my last blog, I took a couple of exams this week. My history exam went well (I thought) and my music exam was once again an A. I sort of underestimated the work college would entail. At first it was not to bad or too busy. But, man, you hit a couple of months and the tests just come pouring down like rain. The thing is, unlike high school, there are no study guides, test review days, or extra credit questions. It solely relies on your attentiveness in class, the notes you take, and the reading you are responsible for. Slip up on any of those, and you can kiss and A goodbye. It's definitely been a little different for me this year because, unlike high school, I'm also juggling a 20 hour a week job to pay for school. However bad it may sound, however, the experiences and the knowledge I'm gaining have changed my life in so many ways than one. Back to my week. After my music exam on Wednesday, I had a math test to prep for. I was planning on taking it on Friday, but, Friday came around too fast and I was not ready for it. So, I made the bold decision to take it next week. However, this week did have it's highlights. My room mate and I decided to dress up as Jim Halpert on Halloween. I went as 3-hole punch Jim while my room mate went as Dave Jim from Thursday's episode. Needless to say, we were a huge hit (me more than him though.) So, to make a long story short, with my tests going well, the opportunity to postpone a test, my awesome Halloween costume, and some other factors as well made this a pretty good week all in all. What can I say, I wouldn't trade my experiences out here for anything!!
