Oh, how I dislike finals. I really do. Tests have never been my strong point, I always have at least one panic moment during the test, and my essays are almost always sloppy when I don’t write them on a computer. Maybe that says something about my brain, that I am unable to think clearly. [...]

studying for exams = not my strong point

So my U.S. Constitutional History Before 1877 class has an exam tomorrow. This is a problem for me. Primarily this is a problem because I’m having a difficult time with this class. It’s not that I don’t like my professor (although I do take exception to his policy of including panic-inducing trick questions on his [...]

Just plain busyness. That’s basically what’s consuming my life. It’s not really that I’m overloaded with activities or with homework (don’t get any ideas, Dr. Conner), but that those things that I am involved in have suddenly and alarmingly picked up the pace. I’d like to think that I know how to balance fun and [...]

I just need somewhere to write thoughts – I tend to be pretty shy in class. It’s more a fear of having other people in the class think that whatever I’ve said is moronic. Mostly I know what to say, but I can’t get over that hump of saying it. So instead of boring my [...]

Yesterday, while I was writing my Thucydides paper, I got up to turn on the light in the other room. Instead of doing that, however, I brushed my teeth, found my lip balm, made my bed, got a new glass of water, rearranged my books, spilled my new glass of water and got a second [...]

You know how sometimes you just dread something, it eats away at your happiness, and you’re unable to concentrate on making it better because it worries you so much? Welcome to Hillsdale College, where every day is like that! Not that I don’t love it here… not that I don’t love academia… not that I [...]

You’d think I’d learn by now, but it seems that once again, the reality of having to actually study hard for tests has bitten me in the proverbial foot. Yeah. Greek Civilization test on Friday… this is how it went down. one nervous college girl, (awake since 7:30, mostly because she couldn’t sleep for fear [...]
