the exam that was a bunch of poop..

*queue Queen's "we are the champions"*

I DID IT! I SURVIVED MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE! almost completely unscathed.

as 2:30 Thursday afternoon, i took my last final.
i am so relieved. it's ridiculous. i could scream. *screams*

it's very possible i was doing this dance yesterday as well.....

the thing i want to talk about here though.....is an exam that was a bunch of poop.

it all started Tuesday afternoon when i met up with a few classmates to study for the exam we all had the next day.

before i go on, i would first like to say that i know what your thinking. 'Caroline, why would you wait to study for an exam the day before?' well, i can explain. it's all these other school things that i had to do!! i had a paper that i was, honest to goodness, working on alllllllll freaking weekend. this paper gave me so much grief....and that is why i waited to study for said exam.


anyway. i was with a few classmates studying for this exam. our teacher had set up a study session with a tutor from two till about four. we were all there. we went through the study guide given to us. after the session, we stayed in the room for another FOUR HOURS STUDYING before we took a dinner break.

add it up so far. how many hours have we spent studying?

that's right.....SIX. six flipping hours.

we took a much needed dinner break.

once we were finished we did another hour or two of studying. and then took a break from THAT particular exam to study for other things. then of course we came back to THE EXAM.

isn't my facial expression awesome. it's so awesome, i want to throw up.

but by that time (11 pm) the library was closing. oh did i forget to mention we were in the library? sorry. WE WERE IN THE LIBRARY.

so lets do more math. how many hours did we devote to one subject by this time?

at least a total of nine hours by this point. NINE.

so as the library closed, we then headed to one of the dorm rooms occupied by one the my friends/classmates. and then continued to study. UNTIL 1 AM. by that time we had lost it. actually, some of us had already begun to loose it, thanks to caffeine, but you know how it is...college students and caffeine........

so.....one more math session. nine hours + two more= 11 HOURS.

yes. 11 hours in one day of studying for one subject.

and then we actually studied for at least another 2 hours the day of.....so at least 13 hours of studying.

but here is the BEST part of the story.

we are getting confident that we can do well on this exam.

we sat down and my professor passed out the exams. the first part of the exam was a breeze. i was thinking "heck yes! we got this."

oh was i so wrong. as i got further into the exam, i was so so wrong. 

half of the stuff that was on the exam, the stuff we knew REALLY WELL, and had talked about a million times in class, WAS NOT ON THE EXAM.

i'm sorry, but i was ticked. we all were. 

i sincerely hope that she will keep in mind how hard we worked for this exam....... because at this point i don't think any of us did well on that darn thing. 

that exam was a bunch of poop.

but i have to say, while i dislike finals with the passion of a thousand burning suns, the time we spent studying was fun. so at least SOMETHING good came from it, no?

finals causes derp faces.

it has been almost a month since i last posted. my bad. school takes over practically everything and then before you know it . . . TIME FOR FINAL EXAMS. it sneaks up and almost bites you (or me in this case) in the bum.

well.......i have something i am excited to post about, and m calling in one of the highlights of my school year. more on that later. hopefully i'll be able to put it up later today or maybe even tomorrow. but then again don't count on that. more then likely, with all my finals this week, it won't come till the weekend. boo.

but just for the record, i have  HAVE NOT dropped off the face of the planet. i'm here. no worries.

until, go wonder on over here.

and heck, i'll even leave you with a derp face or two to hold you over. enjoy it.

p.s.
does anyone else find this new blogger layout awkward? or is it just me? not a fan. yet.

video ideas, por favor?

ya'll should be pleased that i said something in spanish, especially because yesterday, IN SPANISH 2, i literally felt like i knew nothing. maybe i was still on a high from a wonderful weekend. yep. that's probably it.

any who, i have a request to my followers and those who regularly read my blog.

i have been making some youtube videos the past two weekends, which you can find here and here, and i think, I THINK, that i'm going to start just trying to do a video or two on the weekends depending on what's going on or what i'm doing.

please note: TRY is the key word here. i CANNOT guarantee at all that i will have a video every weekend.

here's my dilemma. i don't really have any more ideas other then what i have already done. and maybe one more for this weekend-not sure on that.

so my question for ya'll is: WHAT SHOULD I DO? do YOU have any ideas? suggestions? should i just not? (just kidding on that last one)

also, be nice to me and subscribe to my youtube channel, and let me know what you think.

gracias. (oh look more spanish!)

11 random things redo...

pooooey. it's been a while since i typed words on here. but i always say that right?

any way....i did a blogpost a little while back on 11 andom things about myself and what not and it WAS showing up all nice and pretty. now it's not. and it's annoying.


so i redid this same post, but in video form, for my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/theRedHeadwithIssues

so maybe you should go check it out. and then laugh at me. because i'm weird.

k thanks bye.

got stay with it some how, right?

alrighty. so this week is my school's spring break. HOLLLLLAAA!!!!! PAAARRRTAAY!

no. no partaaaay's. i am working this week. which is good beacuse i love my job and it means another paycheck. WOOOOT!

....wow, i have not said *woot* in a very long time.....

(sorry for the grainy pics. you know cell phones...)


picture 1:
this is where i work. or at least, part of the view i have from my desk. and usually, there are people scattered ALLLLL ABOUT the library. but noooo. not this week. it's spring break. don't get me wrong, i really do LOVE working here. but this is not fun. and i also have no motivation whatsoever tio do the buttload of homework that was assigned for NEXT WEEK.

picture 2:
my motivation to get some homework done. i will be caffeinated, hydrated and stimulated for HOPEFULLY the next four and a half hours. and since there is no one coming up to the desk every five minutes, i am allowed to sit here with some headphones on and listen to some sweet tunes.

wow! twice this week, so far. i'm getting better at this blogging thing. lol

oh and is anyone else excited for Big Time Rush's movie this weekend? is bad that i am SOOOO EXCITED?

it is?
and you're judging me for it?

"ah well. the wind in my face will dry my tears." (fresh prince of bel air.)
