Exams..

Filed under: Emotional, Spiritual — sammy @ 8:24 pm

I think all of us high schoolers have exams this week. Today and Wednesday are stressful. I took an exam for an enriched class that I wasn’t ready for..

(by the way, you will read all the writing I do as if I were thinking out loud…you’ll see)

I rushed and rushed. My beloved language arts teacher Mrs. Rogers said she planned to have a five paragraph essay on the exam.

seriously:

  • why is it that Cuy. Falls is the only place that calls English “language arts?”
  • At Falls, the teachers all try to give us as little of an education as they can handle…ridiculous..

We have an hour of homeroom in between exams. (I wonder if Stow has that…)

That whole hour I went over my notes. For some reason we were only tested over transcendentalism. Which I think is a pretty cool subject. Anyway, I missed a lot of school this quarter, and most topics of that class I was MIA for.

I got into class, I turned off my mp3 player. But not without listening to the acoustic version of Sublime’s “Garden Grove.”

I felt I didn’t know anything! I prayed for an open mind. I recently learned along with most of you how to pray powerfully.

(which reminds me of Terry talking about the first rib cook-off.) wonderful.

The closest friend I have anywhere, Walter, gave me skeptical looks and made fun of me after he found out I was praying. =(

But you know, the exam wasn’t so bad after all. The essay was simple, and we interpreted lyrics from Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, and Dave Matthews!

What an answer to prayer.

Ironically enough, thee Pink Floyd song was “Time.” and right now I am making a connection to a Joyce Meyer book I am reading…

which I won’t explain because I haven’t fully thought it out yet..

This was nothing, but I feel better.

  2. yeah Jeff, I’ll be there, and the song Time like “ticking away the moments of a dull day.”

    transcendentalism is about seizing the day and doing what makes you happy and stuff. So we had to write stuff how the song is opposite in a way.

  3. Wow…sounds super-stressful! An exam on Pink Floyd lyrics…(sense my scarcasm) I would, however be interested in hearing more about what you wrote.
