First midterm of Fall '10. Seeing as almost no studying was accomplished this weekend, I opted for staying up late and cramming in what I could. Seeing as this late night cram session cut into my bedtime, I didn't feel I could make it to my morning class. I slept till about 9 and was up and hitting the books. I actually finished the material by 2:30, two hours before the actual exam. I took this time to relax a bit and started playing some tunes on my saxophone. I hate to admit it, but I was extremely rusty and glad that my housemates didn't complain.
I left for school around 3:15 so I could get a seat and sneak in a quick review session. My timing was impeccable as the bus arrived just as I did. Things seemed to be looking good. As the test neared, I quickly skimmed over more of my notes until all the major points had been covered. This surprisingly took very little time and I ended up relaxing for about twenty minutes. At the 5 minute mark before the start of the test, my heart began to race. It seems I also was a little out of practice for writing exams. When all the tests were handed out, I began scribbling down my answers onto the scantron card.
The test turned out to be quite simple despite the amount of time I spent studying. I finished in 45 minutes although we were allotted 1.5 hours. With the dawning of a successful exam, my stomach began to ache and growl. I quickly scribbled down the answers that I passed over while going through it the first time and handed it in. I'm almost sure that the girl writing next to me was relieved that she wouldn't have to suffer and be distracted by my stomach noises.
To celebrate this victory, I headed over to Grab-a-Greek and got a chicken gyro. With the burden of the first midterm off my shoulders, I decided to walk home. Once there, I popped open a can of Frutopia and chowed down.
Sweet satisfaction.
