Tests, tests, and more tests is a pretty accurate description of how this semester is rolling through. We are bouncing from test to test each week of class from this point forward.
I think the hardest part of testing is the after test nerves that is coming out in the form of questioning your answers. UGH! It's hard not to be drawn in. Although I try really hard to just walk by. This makes me feel great and horrible at the same time. It feels great to have my answers validated. On the other hand, it is walking into a bundle of nervous energy that just passes to each person like a bad case of hiccups.
My secrets... preparation, break, and prayer. I study every chance I get, to the annoyance of my family. I also realize when I need to walk away and take a breath. Each morning, I pray. Pray to have all the knowledge that I have stuffed into my brain somewhere to come back out, appropriately.
I forgot to mention celebration. I think I am getting to the point that I don't celebrate the big things so much any more. For example, some of us are going to Sweet Cece's to celebrate surviving the past week of tests and passing them. It's not about the grades. It's about being able to progress and LEARN each step of the way.
