Academic Binge and Purge

Academic binge and purge as my tenth grade honors english teacher called it. Basically you cram as much information into your head as you can right before a test and forget it all within 24 hours following said exam. Story of my life. I have actually done a lot better at trying to absorb the materials the last few semesters because I will be dealing with these topics for the rest of my life, so it's important. However, my coaching/athletic administration final is not terribly applicable to my life. So, I crammed like crazy. I didn't excel by any means on my final for it last night, but today our teacher sent out an email saying that she was going to curve it heavily in our favor because everybody is doing poorly. We didn't cover any of the material in class because we had a million awesome guest speakers like Bronco Mendenhall and she felt bad that she didn't teach us very much. I feel pretty good about this curving business. :D

My women's health issues final went much better. I studied for a few hours last night and then probably close to six hours today. I actually stayed up on the material through the semester and then just spent all that time reviewing and solidifying everything. The bad part was that it was scheduled for eight o clock. On the last day of finals, super lame, but that's ok, I'm done now. And I aced that final, it was so easy. It wound up being all multiple choice and true/false. I was expecting at least sixty points of free response so that was a nice surprise.

Moral of the story: I'm done with another semester and one step closer to graduation. Spring semester is going to be brutal so I'm having a hard time being excited that this easy semester is over, but hey, it's only six weeks right. Oh, and tomorrow McKay and John are coming to Provo to play all day long, I can't wait!! Boondocks is getting closer, and...one week from right now...I will be on my way to CALIFORNIA!!!!! Life is so great. :D
