Without any prior warning, second semester is truly the worst time of year all throughout high school without a doubt.

It’s the end of February, and the wave of exams are upcoming for Juniors.

First, the CAST and CASSPP. I always shrugged off the block schedule we had at that time of year, because it was always “Oh well, not my problem!” Well now… IT IS my problem. At least half of March will be dedicated to studying for science and math. English I am SURE I’ll do fine in, but science is my worst nightmare.

To be fair, I’d say I’m pretty good at science! The thing is, I took Ag Bio and Ag Chem for the past two years and (if I’m being honest) they did not teach me enough regarding science as they should’ve. I feel incredibly behind and will most likely be stumped on at minimum MOST of the questions. Math is self explanatory. I hold strong resentment to math.

The other half of March will be dedicated to AP exams. APUSH is my deathbed. YES I will focus on every unit with as much concentration as my mind will let me and YES I’ve been going to every review that’s been available and NO I don’t feel confident enough for a 3. Well. In AP Lit I’ll do okay. I think. MOSTLY APUSH is my worry. Especially the time we do our tests. What do you mean 8 am!? I can barely function at 8:30, and you want me to be 30 minutes early and ready for two exams?! …Oh well!

Lastly Finals! To be real, I don’t think I will have any final that’ll kill me. Maybe Anatomy or Forensic Psych.. but I’ll live. The other exams are what scares me.

Maybe the only thing that will get me through it is the idea of campus release for senior year? But then comes my license and employment…

Maybe it’s better to think of nothing. Live in the present until March. Barely a weekend away.
