One semester down

Exam week was the first week in May. It had its ups and downs. My Modern Drama exam was not bad at all. Dr. Voss was his jolly ol' self and cracked me up a couple time before he gave out he exam.
My Spanish exam was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My SP 101 exam was so awful that I expected this one to be the same, but Dr. Maxwell had prepared us really well. It would have been awful if she hadn't prepared us. It was bittersweet walking out of that exam because I knew I wouldn't be able to have her as a teacher anymore, but I also knew I wouldn't have to be in a Spanish class for at least three weeks.
My last exams of the week were awful. I showed up at my EN 300 exam without my book, not knowing that part of the exam was open book. I was the only one who didn't have my book. It was quite embarassing. It all worked out because the girl sitting in front of me had been in a lot of my classes this year so it wasn't that bad when she lent me her's because I knew her better that anyone else. My Shakespeare class was ten times worse. Granted it was on the last day of exam week and by this time I just want to get the exam over and leave campus. Well, Dr. Burke's exams aren't let's just get this over with. He likes his students to learn things while they are taking his final exams. So while we are writing five page essays we are supposed to be learning something. Heck, I suck at writing papers in four weeks much less within two hours. Dr. Burke is a very nice man but his exams suck.
Besides all of the heck I went through during exam week I passed all my classes. I had B pluses in Modern Drama and Spanish and Cs in EN 300 and Shakespeare.

School, as usual

Overall this semester has been pretty good. Granted I have been a little lazy. My classes are going alright, but there are some perks.
My Shakespeare class is pretty challenging. I have began to appreciate Shakespeare more though. Before I did not really like him because I saw him as a person who was overexagerated and I like going for the underdogs. Now, I actually see him is a different light. He is someone who knew what he was doing. Heck, people 4 centuries later know who he is. I just hope that when I write books people in my time period know who I am.
A class that I have enjoyed this semester is my Modern Drama class. We have read some really good plays. There is only one play that I really wish he would not have asked us to read. I came really close to throughing the play aside and just winging it on the quiz, but unfortunately I trudged through it.
But as for my English studies class I haven't quite fiqured out why this class is required. Yes, it does have some very good information about literature and how to write papers, but shouldn't this class be required on a freshman level. It is a 300 level class and by the time students are able to take this class they are sophmores.
In my spanish class we just took a test. I think I did pretty good on it but I haven't seen my grade yet. I have come to a conclusion that I want to translate every word from English to Spanish, but it can't happen that way. Spanish has certain phrases and words that are used at specific times. There have been time when I have thought it is easier that english but it would have been easier if I had heard the language all my life.
Friday I can register for my classes I want to take in the summer and fall. I want to take some spanish courses I have to take in order to get them out of the way. The fall classes I want to take look pretty interesting, but it is a factor of getting into them.
A friend of mine told me that I am always looking forward to the breaks that we get. She is right. We have Friday off because of Honors Day. Thank goodness for those that need to be honored, they gave us a day off.
