"MIDTERMS"

Last week I took my first college midterms of my freshman year. The midterms consisted of the subjects College Algebra 1o1, Anthropology 1o1 and Astronomy. Although a midterm was nothing was nothing but a test to determine what we have learned so far during the school year, I was nervous like I never took a test before. I think I just wanted to make sure I did good because it was my first ones of my college career. Getting good grades on my midterm would give me confidence about the next test and midterms in the future. I started studying 4 days before each of the test to make sure that I knew everything necessary to get at least a B. Although I'm not a good test taker, I am still able to pull off a B but I wouldn't mind a C in this case. I studied long nights and early mornings to get ready for what my teachers were going to throw at me. I used all my notes, the study guides and I even read the books if necessary. Since I knew I wasn't a good test taker I had to develop my own strategy to memorize the text. I got up the day of my test feeling confident but I still was nervous. I had my math test on one day and my anthropology and astronomy the next. I took my math and felt good about what I knew but at the same time I wasn't sure. I took the others and I knew everything from the vocabulary to the essay questions. Now all I have to do is wait for my teachers to return my test so I can view my grades. WISH ME LUCK EVERYBODY!!
