Pre-Midterm

In less than 12 hours, I will be having my first midterm in Math 18. We all know how hard that's gonna be. However, last night, I was answering the previous Midterms and one (if I'm not mistaken, it was the '08-'09 one) was so easy! I was able to answer most of the questions without needing to check if I was on the right track. I was surprised at how easy it was, and also afraid because I may lower my expectations for the midterm. I have a four-hour break in the morning, so I'm going to dedicate that to studying with my blocmates.

I must agree with what my English seatmate and friend, Sarah, said about Math for ME's last Monday. It does seem that ME students (the freshmen) think Math is the only subject they are taking. The rest are just easy, so focus on Math, right? Yeah, if only life were that simple...

Thank God my Lit teacher gave us a free cut so that we may have an hour to prepare for the midterm since our Lit class ends at 4:30 and our midterm was scheduled at 4:30 as well. To make things worse, our Lit class was at Bellarmine. Every Atenean knows that Bel is the farthest building from civilization.

I'm going to start getting ready in a few minutes. I don't feel like reviewing much anymore. I'm getting that feeling in high school, the feeling that, if you know all the concepts (in Math), you don't need to study anymore. I wonder what changed for college Math. I understand the concepts. I guess it's just that the questions have a clever way of making the concepts as useless as a sponge in a flood.

So anyway, wish me luck!
