i don't remember being this nervous about essay tests before.

the test is thurday, i have a 110% in this class, i'd like to keep it that way, but i'm afraid that the question she'll ask is the one i won't be prepared for, we've covered a LOT of material in this class. GAH (yes, my nerves have me up at 3am)

I've always hated multiple choice tests the most. I never went to school as a kid (I was "home schooled" if you can call it that - an old barn full of books, left to my own devices, although I went to half a semester when I was a sophomore in high school, which was a nightmare) so I never had these tests until I went to college. They're very confusing, unless they're just plain stupidly easy, of course. Well, come to think of it, all tests on paper make me sick with nerves. Well I would hate to be tested orally, too.

To make a long story longer: NOROAD HATES TESTS OF ANY KIND.

Good luck! What subject is it?

i think you turned out pretty good for no "formal" high schooling if that's what you want to call it. you seem more smarter (hehehe) than most of the people that did make it through the american school system.

this is round two in college for me, and i actually care this time so it's racking the crap out of my nerves. so far i have strait a's for this semester, i'm trying to get my grade point average back up cuz i screwed up so bad the first time i was in college (the whole not knowing i was bipolar thing kinda made the craziness even more scary).

it's u.s. history, modern period. it's pretty much the wild west to WWI for this test, but she was ALL OVER THE PLACE. it's so freaking interesting because she teaches from writings from people of that time (like journals and stuff) and supplements it with the textbook as a base instead of using the text book as gospel because she's a firm believer in "there's three sides to the truth: side one, side two and the truth."

THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO REMEMBER!!! and with that, i'm going back to my books ;)

My brief college experience was a nightmare, too, like your first. I was a terrified, hallucinating, small town kid in the big city of Chicago. I couldn't sleep, I was having the existential crisis of the century and I did't know a soul for hundreds of miles around. I can't believe I passed anything under those conditions. Whenever I have to enter a learning facility of any sort I get very nervous because I can smell that floor cleaning smell that just about every janitorial service uses in those places. I get flashbacks.

History rules. That's awesome to have a teacher that views history that way.

Oh yeah, I also have a kindergarten education. After that my parents pulled me out. *shrugs* I guess the men in black were after us or something. Thanks, dad.
