First of all, I need to apologize to my children. I remember telling you that you didn't need to beat yourself up studying the night or even few nights before a big test as long as you'd been going to class, paying attention, and doing homework. Well, I was wrong. I've been to class every day, taken notes, asked questions, done homework and I'll consider myself lucky if I pass the Economics midterm exam. And, I studied for three entire days on top of all of that. I understand that the professor typically curves the grades so I hope that's the case this time, too. It is so frustrating. Sometimes I think I need to talk to student services and see if I can get extra time for being old. I doubt that is one of the disabilities they allow extra time for.
I'm not going to give up; I'll continue to pursue and hope that my test-taking skills improve with practice. On a good note, the class I'm planning to take this summer has take-home tests for both the mid-term and the final...I'll have no excuses!
Spring Break has begun and I'm enjoying a glass of wine.
