All Studied Out

I've been keeping my nose in the books - hopefully it helps in my upcoming exams. I don't think I've ever really done excellent in exams. I'm not great at articulating myself under pressure unfortunately. I've always passed my exams, thank God for that, but I've never ever aced a written exam. Pardon me, I think I got 99% on my Music Theory exam a couple years ago, but that was thanks to the devoted pressure of my music teacher, and the excellence she demanded. I should pay her to be my tutor for everything. :) Everyone should pay her to be their tutor for everything for that matter! Myself and my lovely friend Michelle aced our grade 11 drama exam (I think it was grade 11). We did a dialogue - I think it was 45 minutes long, and pretty shocking;y dramatic. I believe it was between two very disturbed young women. In fact, we did so well at it, that our school of 800+ students had an assembly and Mitch & I performed our dialogue at it. It was pretty cool. WE got 100%. I think that may have been because our teacher was...how can I say...a bit of a push over. Michelle and I would tell him that we were going to practice and wouldn't be able to be present in class that day, and somehow that was fine with him, even when he came to check up on us, and we happened to be cooking waffles in the hallway for those who passed by. That was interesting. I think I also aced some music exams in High-school - once again attributed to an excellent teacher, who inspired excellence. Or perhaps I just do better at exams than I think.

Do you think its a bit of a crock that your exams are not returned to you? I do. They don't even re-use exams, or exam questions anyways, what would be the harm. I bet they would have so many more review requests that way. I am just curious to know how badly I butchered the questions, or which answer on the multiple choice was correct.

Anyways. Oh High school. Speaking of Michelle - I remember the day we met. She was sitting in front of me and my friend Julie in our science class. I believe Mr. Collie was our teacher - although I'm not sure why the gym teacher was teaching science, but that's ok. Julie & I decided we should be nice and say hi to the new girl, and wasn't that one of the best decisions I ever made. Michelle is one of the most loyal devoted friends anyone could ever think up. I love her, and I'm totally bummed we have to live so far away from one another. Maybe one day that will chance. I miss her.

I don't think there's too much else to write, except my brain is fried, and I can't wait to go to bed. I didn't sleep well last night unfortunately, and I'm paying the price right now. Hopefully everything I've studied today has sunk its way into my brain.

Oh and its probably been long enough now, that I can make a post about this, my cutie-pie baby brother Andy has been offered a job on Waterloo Regional Police, as a good ol' Police Man. I'm so proud of him.
