Well its mid term weak for us at Nova. Tonight is my History mid term, and though I feel ready for it. I am still nervous. My hands are shaking, my heart is beating fast, and I had this nightmare last night, that I studied all the wrong material and when I look at the test I am going to understand none of it. Though I highly doubt that is going to happen, I get myself worked up over test, though I studied, and though I feel ready I think what happens if I flunk. I really want to get my degree, and take better care of my kids. To do that I need to past History. I am not good at memorizing dates/ people etc. Well I am not good at memorizing pd and the biggest memory class is History. So I am scared out of my mind. I quiz myself over and over, and I think I got it but what if I don't. Well I guess I will find out in about 4 hours. My children come home in 30 minutes so that is all of my studying for this test. I need to clean up my house, and then get my children. I truely try to be home with them to help them with their homework and everything when they get home. I know that this will change one day b/c I will eventually get a job, but for right now I am able to do it. Since I have school tonight I really need to spend some time with them, so let me get to cleaning up. Wish us college students luck during this trying pd.
