It Gets Real

Well I literally spent every hour, minute and second of this weekend studying and writing essays for almost every single course. I must admit I was warned that the test are all schedule around the same time, I just never anticipated they would all actually be scheduled the same week. I didn't even look at my cell phone for a full 36 hours, which almost never happens. I'm really trying to make awesome grades this semester. I consistently made decent grades in high school, but I fear that college is a whole new monster. However, after taking my first college exam today I am not quite as nervous because I think I did pretty well. I'm not going to get too confident just yet until I see how the other million tests this week pan out. Throughout this process I think I have developed some efficient studying habits. I listen to classical music and zone out my girlfriend and her video games, then just study like a maniac. I've retained so much information this weekend I think my head grew a few sizes. My writing hand is swollen and the R key on my laptop is jammed, so I think those are indicators of how hard I have been working. I'm really just striving for a successful year and I hope it all pays off.
