The Japanese test from hell.

Oh my god, that was rough.

She tested us on stuff that was not in the books, punishing those of us who missed days where she presented material orally.

I was one of those people. Shit, shit, shit, I was sick that day (re: I was up all night studying for my Philosophy test and crashed).

I got three of the extra credit questions right, I believe, so that's three points. But the vocabulary I didn't know cost me, I think about six points at least. Add that to my usual three points of mindless/stupid mistakes (I didn't have time to doublecheck since I was scrambling to figure out from context what the unfamiliar vocabulary meant), of 100, the best I can expect is 90-93, and it potentially could go as low as 85.

Ouch. I needed a good score on this test.

Good news though. I got that Philosophy test back: 49/50.

Now I have to do is read then write two pages on Aristotle, read then write a couple pages on that Hindu scholar, read and write a paragraph each on Singer and whatshisname, legibly write out the definitions of fifteen pages of legal terms, and memorize a speech in Japanese.

The legal terms are due Tuesday, (I may have to do a make up test for Law as well).

The killer Philosophy test is on Wednesday.

The Japanese speech that has to be memorized this week (repeat, repeat, repeat) and presented orally on Thursday at 8am.

Oh. And I have to work both Monday and Tuesday.

*runs screaming into the street*

Then I have to study for a math test.

All I can say is "glug, glug." I want to go home and finish all of it today, so I can actually have a weekend. But I have to work till 1:30pm

No, it's not possible to finish it all in one day. But I can dream, can't I?
