My last final exam for the term is tomorrow, and I’ve been wasting time on the internet and watching the news.
I should know better. Yesterday I was in class until the last minute finishing my computer troubleshooting exam. (Still got an A though) And tomorrow’s exam will be an essay exam. That should motivate me to study even more; but it doesn’t.
Instead I find myself writing a blog entry about how much I hate writing answers to essay questions.
It has nothing to do with hating the subject because I’ve enjoyed my Human Relations class as well as the instructor teaching it.
Maybe this is about hating the idea of being judged and graded by how clearly and concisely I answer a set of questions under a set amount of time. There comes a point where memorizing definitions and facts on one sheet of paper just to write them down on another sheet of paper seems tedious.
I didn’t have this problem with my final web design project. Maybe because there I was putting all the ideas and code I’d learned into practice. I went above and beyond for that class. I even went without sleep for that class.
