Well, I took another test today. It went really well considering I studied for it for an hour yesterday and 45 minutes today. However, it was a music exam so it's not like it was super difficult. Memorize some listening examples, go over a few notes, and eat a small bag of Bacon and Cheddar TGI Friday's potato skin chips. After it was said and done, I got a 94% on it. This seems to be my standard score seeing that I've scored a 96%, a 94%, and a 94% on my last three tests. I don't know, I'm pretty content with the scores I'm getting and am learning loads in the class. However, this test was only the second of a series of five I have to take within the next week and a half. So, we will see what happens. No time to breathe that is for sure. I'll be so glad when next weekend comes and all of these stupid things will be over with for a while. Then I can focus on my homework. Anywho, I failed to mention that the coolest thing happened to me yesterday. I was heading to the Testing Center here on campus to study for my World History test yesterday when, by coincidence, I ran into two guys that were in my ward back in Missouri when my family first moved out there. I hadn't seen them since they moved away from the Rolla Ward 10 years ago. It was a pleasent surprise that made me day. So, all in all, the week has been good to me so far, but has made me super tired and worn out, and maybe a little crabby as some of the poeple close to me can attest to. Oh well. At least when it is over I'll be able to breathe easier for a little bit and sleep peacefully!

Welcome, Your Life Has Just Begun.
So, I've been in college for about 2 months now and it has been a total blast until these past few days. My dad was in town, which was fun don't get me wrong, but that happiness was overshadowed by a massive 3 hour test I needed to take today. I'm not gonna lie, I've never been so worried about a test in my life! Two weeks ago today, my professor gave us a link to the study guide he and his TA's put together. It was four pages single spaced of items we need to know. So, in order to cope with the task, some of my classmates (30 or so) got together last Thursday and Friday and worked on it. Each separate group worked on a different part of the study guide. Let's just say that, after we were done and all the questions were answered, the study guide was 31 pages long. Kind of harrowing for a college freshman. So, I spent most of my spare time Saturday and yesterday studying for my this thing. I finally took it today and felt pretty confident afterwards. I'm just more glad that it's over. I still have 3 more exams I need to worry about within the next 2 weeks so I can't completely relax yet. Oh well, such is life!!
