Exam Week
Josiah is enduring his first full week of high school exams and has learned the following:
1. “I didn’t think it would be on the test” is a fatal assumption.
2. When you are informed on the bus going to school that you are studying the incorrect review sheet, pull out the correct review sheet and cram as much information into your brain as possible.
3. There is a point in the middle of the week when your brain overloads and you can no longer think clearly. This usually takes place the night before your most difficult exam.
4. You know you and your classmates have experienced equality of misery when everyone starts complaining upon leaving the exam room. Unfortunately, this is not the last time you will say, “That was the hardest test I’ve ever taken.”
5. After the exam, don’t look back in your notes to see if you got it wrong. It’ll just make your head hurt.
6. Your second wind appears suddenly just prior to the last exam.
7. A backpack is amazingly light when you go home for Christmas break.
