Reflections #3

Last week was spring break, so we had a week off from Cello and Molecular Biology; I don't mean this as a good thing. I don't mean this "week-off" from the course as a good thing merely because we had an exam this week and I barely studied for the exam during my spring break.

This exam was the first written exam we had as a class, since the first exam was to make a model. Therefore, I didn't know what to expect from this exam, other than the fact that it was going to be tremendously difficult. With this in mind, I still didn't study that much during spring break. I studied when classes began the Monday after, including staying up late the night before (something that isn't advisable). 

Well, the exam was hard -- more than expected. 

Saying that, I think this was a wake up call for me to start spending more time every single day to prepare for this course. How I did on this exam has made me realize that I cannot expect to pass the exam or (even more) this class if I am not prepared and thus stay up late to study for exams.

Thanks, exam. I will now be a better student in this class.
