YA! Pressures Over

   Today is probably the happiest day I’ve ever had, because I’m finally done with all the finals. I don’t know why I have so much pressure for this time’s finals, which I study really hard for all subjects. When the bell rings at the fourth period, my mind is so hyper that it almost jumps out of my heart. At that time, I really want to shout: “Ya! No more finals! Time to enjoy our life.” The seniors can definitely relax now because then we only have to concentrate on light load of school work. No more college application, and we don’t need to handle such a great pressure that almost drive us crazy anymore.

One Last Time

   Today is the last day that I have to prepare for the final, and then the seniors can have parties! Again, about five students go to Mr. Dahl’s classroom and study for testing materials, especially “Macbeth” because there are 46 questions about it. The topic that I’m most afraid of and unconfident about is “From the Paradise Lost: Fall of Satan” because I don’t know what the whole story is going on even after reading it. Recently, I find out that group studying is really useful since everyone can exchange different ideas and opinions. For haven’t sleeping well for so many days, I can feel that I’m going to fall apart anytime. The only thing that makes me move on is the thought: this final is especially important, after I’m done, then I can truly relax and enjoy the rest of the senior life.

Stressed Out!!!

    Today, six seniors (including me) stay after school in Mr. Dahl classroom to prepare for the essay questions tomorrow. Before entering the classroom, I have already done research for each question, but only the first one has the most thorough information. Having all this things, the only problem is that I don’t know how to put them into an essay with a good thesis statement. The after school learning session really helps a lot because after I ask Mr. Dahl some questions, it feels like I’m enlightened. I finally understand how should I organize all my facts, what should I include in the essay to gain more points, and how to show the readers what I’m going to talk about directly in the thesis. Tonight, I have to finish three outlines, but I don’t know whether I can accomplish this task since I didn’t have much sleeping time yesterday due to Calculus cramming. I hope tomorrow the Gods of Pukapie could bless me and give us essay topic number 1-the one that I’m most ready, most prepared.

School Starts, Pain Begins

   The school starts today, and everyone looks tired which might be staying up all night to make up for homework. This week is the seniors final exam week, and I think it’s better that exams are all done before winter break because then students could really enjoy and have fun while on vacation. We couldn’t truly release our pressure during the two weeks winter break since we need to face such difficult tasks first day of school. Exams for British Literature and AP Calculus classes are ones that I’m worried and nervous about; I’m afraid that I couldn’t do well, which would affect the college application. Tonight, most seniors in the AP Calculus class open the classroom and do the review together. This time’s final exams are especially important, so we have to do as best as we could no matter what it takes. Tomorrow, the seniors would definitely get together and prepare for another big final exam for the British Literature class.
