Midterms

It is Midterms week starting tomorrow. Truthfully I don't understand why universities have one set week for exams in the middle of the semester. Because let's face it, it just makes for a lot of cranky, unhappy, unclean college students. And then once the week ends, Spring Break starts!

Personally I have three exams and a research paper due this week. None of which I am looking forward to. But seriously, whom ever looks forward to tests.
1. My Renaissance History class midterm is going to be insanely hard. It is a complete essay exam over everything we have learned over the first half of the semester. But he did not give out an form of potentially questions that he might ask. That is ridiculous.
2. My Earth Science lecture exam is going to be challenging, but hopefully not more so than the first exam. The first exam in that class kicked my butt, so I need to do awesome on this second exam.
3. My Earth Science Lab exam. This test makes me nervous because it is just identifying rocks, and to me these rocks are not all that different in look, feel, or composition. So identifying 40 rocks correctly is going to be so not fun.
4. Research paper due in Integrated Marketing Campaigns, yuck.

Since today is Sunday and my first exam is Tuesday, I escaped Vermillion for the day to study at Panera Bread in Sioux Falls. So far I have been here for 2 hours, and feel like I haven't gotten anything accomplished. Perhaps it is time to take a short break from studying and do some devotions. That would be a good way to recharge my batteries.

I am looking forward to moving to a city larger than Vermillion so that I can come to Panera more often. I'm ready to start the next chapter in my life. I love coming here to work, it has a great work atmosphere. But for two more months I will just have to stick it out in the smallness of Vermillion and making occasional trips to Sioux Falls or Sioux City to work at Panera.
