It's that time of year again, time for stressed out students trying to do everything they can in order to get ready for finals. This happens three times a school year and it is never a fun experience. Your getting bogged down with papers, assignments, tests and study sessions. You just have no idea where to start!
I would consider myself a good student, my cumulative GPA of 4.3 is proof of this. But this doesn't mean that finals and this time of year doesn't stress me out. Yes, I feel as if I am on top of all my classes, I'm not behind, but there is still a lot of work to be done. For example, in my Spanish class I have three different finals to prepare for. An oral, writing and multiple choice test all happen to be on three different days, three different weeks actually. I never feel like I am completely done with my homework at night knowing that I have all of this I could be preparing for. This just adds to the stress level everyday.
In other classes, its just a matter of finding the time to review over terms and concepts that I have learned over the past term. Some classes provide in class work time which I try to take advantage of. Even though the units were easy, its difficult to go back and review everything and then remember it for the final along with everything else for five other classes.
In AP Lang in which I am writing this blog, I have so much work to do over the next few weeks I could consider myself to be stressed out just because of this class. I have more blogs to type, a book to read, annotated bibliographies, two drafts of an essay, discussions, quizzes and a portfolio to build. I get stressed out just thinking about it and I know every other student in the class is the same way. At times like these I begin to wonder if teachers really consider the lives of their students (read my post "Heavy Homework Load").
As the stress us upon all of us here at Kennedy High School, I say good luck and try just bear through it.
