Holt Boulevard

I don't know what a palmcorder yajna is. grades on transcripts shouldnt come down to one procrastinated night alone in the library trying to remember everything you did for an entire semester before your 8am exam.

10 hours i gave my self. 40% this test is worth. every hour i spend studying better compensate for 4% of my grade.

i dont know why every test ever taken is not open book. (short of language tests). i spend more time remembering equations and mindless information that could be included on one side of a piece of paper than i do studying for tests. forgetting an equation? not remembering a formula? thats why i lost credit for that question? that seems assenine. these idiot classes are lessons in brute memorization the night before a scheduled test.

how many snickers bars and bawls can you inject into your stomach in a 4 day period before you lose your mind. well ive had 5 snickers and 3 bawls and im close. staying up this late, thinking about a million and one things other than what im supposed to, listening to other people around me doing the exact same thing. why did i push this off so long. i had 3 days of nothing ness. i was in vacation mode. i cant wait till this test is over. every 4% that goes by i get less and less thrilled about staying up and less and less worried about how im going to do. i just want to take this dumb thing and fall asleep watching tv. i want to sit at my computer for 2 days and get it all done. i want to go to bed early for once.

10 hours to memorize stupid things i could write on a piece of paper. if you have to test someone on something they could write down on one side of a piece of paper than that test is not worth it. make it open book, but give questions that make you think. i know how to do almost everything for every class, that deserves an A. But what it comes down to is how well you perform under pressure in a given time block on a set day. what if you were sick? what if you got into a fight with your roommate? what if you had to drive to the airport? what if you forgot your textbook in a class room? no one cares. because if you dont get it right on one set time slot on a given day, and if you dont know how to do these certain questions, you dont know the subject.

40%. and i now have only 4 hours to get it right...
