Today was my first major exam... Biochemistry. I felt so confident when I walked in the room. When I left... it was an entirely different story. The exam was 3 hours and we used every single minute of the allotted time. I could have actually used another 30 minutes to an hour. I felt so rushed and I didn't have enough time to really reason like I wanted to. When they dismissed us, folks were hanging their heads in despair, making jokes of suicide and asking what the hell just happened. It was a bit of a shocker. The lectures and practice test were not as detailed as the exam this morning. All of a sudden I wasn't sure if anything I knew was correct. Oh well... At least I know I'm not the only one who thought the test was difficult. I actually wasn't freaking out as much as some other people afterwards. I mean it's over now. I studied my butt off and that's all I can do. Well see how it turns out. Side note: I got my undergraduate degree in Chemistry with an emphasis in BIOCHEMISTRY. Someone explain to me why I struggled? I got an A in Biochem I and II in undergrad. I understand the difficultly may have increased but hello... am I missing something????
After the test, R, A and I went to Applebees for refreshments and then to Target. I wanted to get a few things. I needed to get more but when I started adding figures in my head, I decided that I needed to stop for the day. The most important items purchased: light bulbs, a chair and an alarm clock. I'm good to go now (not really, but for the most part I can survive now).
Ok... I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to start studying for Friday's exam now or if I'm just going to enjoy the rest of my Monday. Part of me says, "hell, I deserve a night off"; the other part of me is like, "of course you deserve a night off but we said we were going to SACRIFICE this year. Go study!". I at least need to look at 2 or the 10 lectures. Ok, I've made a decision. Off I go to the land of Physiology. Ya'll have a good night.
