I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear.

Well, I narrowly avoided having a panic attack during my test today. I guess when I think of short-answer questions, I always imagine they'll be situational. I feel like I'd actually be quite good at questions like that because I try to think so logically. These questions were pretty much all "list and explain", which I'm HORRIBLE at. The explain part, I can do. This list part makes me want to cry and vomit at the same time (sorry if that's too graphic). This is why I've had so much trouble in college. I don't do memorization very well. I'm much better at things that can be figured out (with the exception of calculus). Oh well. Bethany tells me he curves this test, so here's hoping. At least now I know what the final will look like (and yes, this teacher only gives TWO tests). I'm determined to get through this. It really bothers me that it's been so difficult for me, especially since I sailed through grade school. This issue just may be my biggest insecurity.

Anywho, I was going to start P90X today. I have no idea if this is something I'll stick with. I just want to try it and see if I like it. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself about it. I just think it might be interesting. However, about five minutes into the instructional video, I hear a loud pop coming from the front of my subdivision, and the power goes out. The power hasn't gone out at all in the year I've lived here. I jokingly got on twitter and tweeted, "God? Is that you?" Haha, I'm still going to go through with trying P90X, but I just didn't get to start today. A friend suggested I begin on Monday since it's sort of a Monday through Saturday program anyway. So I guess I'll go with that. My body is getting fed up with all this laziness, though. Hopefully I'll at least get to run the lakes Thursday on my break.

  2. I'm a memorizer. I always loved lists and explains, short answer, essay. When I have choices, I overthink about all of them. And then of course they all make sense to me. You'll definitely do fine in the class. Don't let it get to you! The project is worth the most percentage points-- and you're ashooing to do well on that. AND my personal trick is that I went and visited with every single one of my professor's in college. I showed them that I cared, was interested, etc. I know some of them might have just given me a grade, but hey whatever works. Right?!
