Graduation Celebration

I just spent a weekend in Tampa for karate, and I feel so refreshed now. But instead of getting back on track with my homework, I just finalized my post-graduation plans. The Monday after the ceremony, my friend and I are taking a cruise to Key West and Cozumel. I can't wait! Both are such fun stops!

In the short term, I have to write up a case study, write an annotated bibliography, start my promotions for our golf tournament and get back on track with my independent study. Plus career fair this week, coming up with a dinner for Valentine's Day (which I don't like on principle) and go to karate (open tournament is coming up next month)

Crazy! But at least I am not sick anymore!

I love studying-- Just kidding.

So, I have my first exam Monday. I'm feeling overwhelmed and completely nervous. It's for my American History class and that means I've got to know my facts. Compared to the majority of college exams, it's a pretty small one. I've only got to learn four chapters-- Although, with the subject of history every page of every chapter has important information that needs to be learned.

Fortunately, I've been pacing myself. I've been studying a little bit each night for the past couple of weeks.

In high school, my middle name was procrastination and I was not about to take that name with me to college. I think that not procrastinating until the day before the exam was definitely a revelation. In the past, when procrastinating until the last possible moments, I would feel pressured and just give up studying all together. Pacing myself has allowed me to comprehend the information I've studied and has taken the feelings of pressure and claustrophobia away .

It's definitely not an option to give up in college. Failing one test could mean failing the class. Which brings me back to why I'm feeling so overwhelmed and completely nervous. Well, I'm off to the library to study some more!
