Its been awhile...

            So, the last time I blogged was about two weeks ago and there is a lot of catching up to do! A lot has happened in the past two weeks that needs to be discussed. Where do I start? How about with recieving our progress reports?! Well, I did fairly well on my progress reports, all a's and b's, but that is not the problem. Progress reports get me so stressed out, its awful. I hate the week before grades close when teachers are cramming in last minute tests and quizzes that are most definitely unneeded. I end up failing half of them and my grade goes from an A to an F in the blink of an eye. Okay, that was quite the exaggeration but still its crazy. 
            Another thing that was missed was Mr. Bresnick assign us that wonderful essay that is actually do tomorrow. I chose to discuss publicly bearing your sin instead of holding it inside. In general it sets you free from the burden you would be carrying around of lying and feeling guilty. Though others would chose to keep it inside, I would not. It is all just a personal preference depending on the situation itself.
            A final thing that was missed was our vocabulary quiz! There was thirty words to memorize for it and of course I chose to wait until the last second to study. I made flash cards the night before the test and crammed all night and until the morning of the test. Though that was not the smartest idea, I had memorized the words. I ended up walking in class that day and the test was bumped. I had more time to study to truly be prepared! How lucky was I? Now I know this will not always happen so I have to make sure I prepare earlier.

  2. Progress reports are not something to stress out about! They are only meant to provide you with a preliminary idea of how you are doing in class. I used to teach at Natick High School, and they did not even send out progress reports to students unless the student was failing a class. I think they are nice to have, but they should not create unnecessary stress.
