Yep. It's that dreaded time of year again. It's a time to sit and really think about what matters--SURVIVAL.
To me, midterms are even worse than finals. While more is riding on finals (usually), you have the impending sweet release of winter/summer break after final exams. After midterms... it's just more work! And usually worse work!
Here's my deal: I hate exams in general. I would take 5 papers over one test ANY DAY. You can probably tell because I do this, but I love to write. However--asking me to recall trivial or specific information at the drop of a hat? No thanks. I would much prefer to sit around for a few hours, hash it, re-hash it, print it out and mark up the pages with a purple pen, then finally crank out a solid essay.
But I won't bore you with my rant about hating exams. Instead, I will explore the positive aspects of midterm season! Yes, they do exist.
1) Halloween is soon! Fun for everyone!
2) The Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive is soon-ER! So exciting.
3) Barack Obama was here on Tuesday! Yeah, I know he lives a few blocks away, but everyone still goes crazy when he's on campus.
4) I saw Transformers 3 being filmed yesterday! I didn't even seek it out, we just stumbled upon it, really. I saw Louis Stevens! (Shia Labeouf... on Even Stevens... Remember?!?)
5) It's autumn! My favorite season. I love the colors and the crisp air, it's just gorgeous.
Those are really the only plusses i can think of, at least for now. But it's helping me get through the grueling work!
I love emails! They help me procrastinate! ShireenS@gwmail.gwu.edu
