Longer But Shorter

I am not completely sure how I fell about the length of this test. I definitely like it better then the complete tests that we took with Ms. K but it still has some length to it. I did not feel like I had enough time to finish everything well. When Mrs. Stariha gave us a 20 minute warning I still hadn't finished my first essay. It could have been the order in which I took my test, basically from start to finish, but it could have been the time too because I felt like a had a good grasp on much of the multiple guess and fill in the blank. I took my time planning out the essay before the test so I didn't waste much time in class and that was really helpful. So I am not really sure if I want the next test to be the same length under the same time limit because this one didn't go too well for me time wise.

Ups and Downs

From recent posts I gather that there are some mixed feelings about how today's test went. This was far from music to my ears. I was hoping to log on to the British Literature B blog today and see my fellow classmates melting from the radiation of yet another soul crushing test. I looked to these blogs searching for reassurance that Kaitlin Bells tearful cry would float through the soft April air all the way across town and though my window singing me to sleep tonight. I looked towards these blogs hoping the sound of window panes shattering would reach my ears as DJ Beckman mourned the decay of his GPA by bringing his baseball bat not to balls but to the houses of innocent citizens. Hoping to hear a helicopter racing over head in search of a young Hannah Huls so ashamed of the B she was sure she would receive on today's test that she was driven to wild ideas never considered by someone who used to be so happy. Some where deep in my mind I even pictured a mob racing down the streets made up of fellow students carrying pitchforks, torches, and savagely crying out for redemption. But no, instead I'm greeted with reviews discussing the suprisingly easy essays and overall good vibes conceived upon handing in the test with a few apprehensions put in the mix! Is a small misfortune to much to ask for these days?

Test...?

So, like I have heard from many of you guys, the essays on this test went well. I think we were better prepared and did a good job in class discussing the potential topics. However, I thought the multiple choice questions were really hard. Not sure why, but it seemed like I never knew the 1 correct answer. All the choices seemed "close to right". I know that Ms. Stariha says they are made that way to be like an AP test, but I don't like it.

I'm sure all of you are just begging to know what I'm doing right now! Just kidding, that was obviously satire. Anyway, as I'm sitting in the computer lab with Syd, Stevo, Brian, Megan, and that new guy, Will, I'm getting kind of bored. So, I started to think of other things besides the test. Like the new age we are about to enter; the romantic age! I know that it's not our definition of "romantic" but there's still got to be a little love line here and there right? I'm such a hopeless romantic myself. So, hopefully this new literature lives up to my high expectations!

Spring

This test gave me a really bad feeling. So, I decided to blog even more than I have been! Good idea, right? Well, with softball games coming up it's going to be hard to accomplish. We typically play doubleheaders and have 2 or 3 double-headers each week :( Then we have tournaments almost every saturday,which are a lot of fun if you aren't bound down with the stress of homework. So, here we go...another crazy spring is about to begin!

Test, test, test, test

The essays on this test seemed easier than normal. I felt like I understood the topics really well. But, the multiple choice was kind of hard. It's funny because I reread the poems and stories and studied my notes, but yet I didn't feel confident in my answers. Funny; usually I feel a little more doubt about the essays. Hmm...guess we will see what happens.
