That Week

So it's that time of year again! For some of us, it's the end of the quarter, others have midterms, and I'm not even gonna mention school's with trimesters, y'all are weird. Anyway, for those of us with quarters and midterms, this is the week in which we die. Not literally of course, but if you're not up at midnight studying like I am right now, you gon' fail. Hahaha, I wanna go to sleep so bad. That's right, we got the finals and midterms! One of the absolute worst parts of the school year, almost as bad as semester endings and those massive standardized tests that we have to take at the end of the year (two blogs for a darker day).

I've dreaded these weeks for as long as I've been able to, which is like... a long time. If you've read my about page (which you SHOULD have), you'll know that I tend to procrastinate. I am so lazy that my about page (READ IT) just ends with a procrastination joke because I was too lazy to think of anything else. I could not sit for more than ten minutes thinking about what to write, so I used my procrastination as an excuse to procrastinate. Procrastination to the max! Back on topic (apologies), this week I've had four tests, two in different languages, a project due, and last week I had four tests. Almost all of them were finals or chapter/unit tests.

My ability to waste a large amount of time in an extremely efficient way does not help my performance. This post itself is me procrastinating, I have a vocab final tomorrow and I'm all like, "Well I got to get to work," then I look at the vocab sheet, "Mmmhhm, mmmhm, yeah that's not gonna happen." Then, after feeling guilty of not doing anything, I get started on a post so that I feel like I'm actually contributing to my own wellbein. Eventually, the guilt eats at me until I end up using something like Quizlet to study. This might be because I never really studied until this year. Not to brag (what people say just as they're about to brag), but before I became a Freshmen, I was the one student who didn't study, yet still recieved an A. The work would get done, but I never studied. My teachers and fellow classmates hated it because it's "unfair," and to my fellow classmates who hated me because of that, welcome to the real world. Although, this hasn't given me the greatest study habits for the tests I'm taking now.

So, if you haven't noticed, I love to sleep and not sleeping is awful. This week has kept me away from the sweet embrace of my bed and myself is not happy about it. Whoever decided it was a good idea to: give students all of their tests at the exact same time, make the tests worth around fifty percent their grade, and expect the students to wake up extremely early after binge studying for seven hours, I hate you. Well, at least all my tests are over now, well, that is until semester endings.
