Mid terms and Spring Break

Let's discuss what a mid term exam entails. I've completed two of these for my History and Government classes, scoring a 96 and 87 respectfully. The tests covered all subjects taught from the first day of class to that point. For the government class, I was given a broad list of bullet points to focus on in my studying, which I used exclusively. As well with the History test, there were a lot of similar questions asked, some verbatim. Additionally, the two tests were considerably longer in form. Using a group study method, I achieved an effective score in History. My other two classes did not require a mid term or was not relevant to the coursework (english).

Our school's spring break period was from March 10 through 13 officially. A snow make up day notwithstanding, that week felt quite different than the previous school-filled weeks - an excellent respite from studying, even with just 12 course hours.

We're now on the backstretch, with just seven weeks until the last day of my first semester in college...at 30 and 1/2 years of age.
