Just random thoughts about me and my life...

Exams...

I am not one who likes studying for exams. Although I suppose there are few out there that actually do... Seriously though, exams were originally intended for one purpose. Learning. So you would think that perhaps writing an exam, studying again, and writing it again would prove to be more helpful to students than just exam after exam. Not only that, but what about those people with exam anxiety? Students who are brilliant, know the information well, inside and out, but when they are faced with the pressure of actually writing, go blank. Not nice. At all... But in reality I suppose exams are part of life. Testing to see what you actually know. If you think about it, would you want a doctor who graduated last in his class? Um. I'd rather have the guy who graduated first in his class. Then I know he knows what he is doing, and is not just randomly messing with patients. But still. Exams suck.

Blogging and School

For some reason I always thought that I would have more time to blog while I was in school. But then you start school, and you work while you are in school, and in your free time you are cleaning and doing laundry. I always loved blogging. Random thoughts at random times, you can post whatever you want whenever you want. Somehow that has all fallen by the wayside. But For some reason I am excited to start again. I should be studying right now. I have 2 more final exams to write. I suppose you could call this a short study break. In any case, I think I will start blogging again. Just as an outlet. A way to get my thoughts out of my head, and into some form that makes it easier to mull over. An online journal, if you will. Seems kind of strange to have a blog instead of a journal, but for me it seems to work better. Or it did when I actually made the time for it. Perhaps I can again.

Here's hoping.
