Well I think this week has be the most hectic week of my life. I had 3 tests, two of which I did not do so good on. But thank God for teachers who give extra credit!!!! I have not had time to do anything this week, so I am pretty excited that it is the weekend. I think that this week has been the week where i realized that this is not a vacation, I am not able to just sit by and watch life go by. I actually have to study and get involved here. This is something unusual to me since I never had to study in high school.
Some of the things I have learned this week is that studying is more than just reading over the pages in a book and thinking I am prepared for the test. This is not how it works for those of you who have not figured it out yet. You actually have to think about it and grasp an understanding of the material you are going over. The other thing I have learned is that you need to do your math homework, even if the teacher does not take it up or grade it. This is also new to me, well kinda. In high school i never did my math homework either, but the teachers still checked to see if I had done it. And when i did not do it, i got a zero for my homework grade, but I know what was going on enough to get a good grade on the test so I ended up ok. Well Mr. Killman does not take it up or check if we did it. So my thinking was "Hey! Im not going to do it at all and it will be like high school." I WAS WRONG! This is why I made a 64 on the test.
So I guess you could say that this week has been a learning experance for me. Now that i know that I actually have to study to pass in college I think I am a little more prepared for the next week. Other than the accademic aspect of this week it was good. I think I am finally getting into a grove here, I am learning that i do not have to be involved in everything. I am also learning how to manage my time a little better. Well thats about it for this week.

I better do my math homework when I take a math next semester. Thanks for pointing that out. I had 2 tests last week. I did good on one and not so good on the other.
you are so right ha. i got surprised on a couple of tests and did not do so hot.
It is so easy in high school to just slip by without studying. But I also realized that you have to put a ton of work in those test to get the grade that you want.
wow...i completely agree with you.
i to learned the hard way that i need to study more in advance for test since i didn't do so well on my first test
hope you figure out the right study method for you.
yes Jared, you're becoming a bad influence for me. we even studied for that test and worked problems. i agree, we should start doing our homework.
i feel ya. i think everyone is starting to realize that MC aint a breeze.
Dude I have been there and I know exactly what you went through with the tests. I never studied in high school so this is a whole new world for me.
