What relief it was when I came out of two exams actually feeling confident. I got to school a few hours before my first exam and left for home A LOT of hours after my second exam. Hanging with friends, nerding at the library and discussing the flaws of IB. Every new flaw discussed pushed me further away from "staying in IB". But that's after... let's talk before and during.
Before the first exam (Physics 20) friends and I basically tried to study but we made up random words/phrases from equations so we could remember more easily during the Exam. We made a random joke that actually helped us memorize the equation for "frequency":
What happens when you get stabbed by 1 over T?
It "hertz"
Only us IB kids would enjoy such jokes, but it was relieving to laugh and be calm compared to the cramming some people were doing then....I wrote the Exam.... I was greeted by my friend as soon as I got out the exam room. I knew the question he would eventually ask :"How'd you do?"... My new universal answer: "I KNOW I got a 100... minus a few percent". We laughed it up and prepared for the English Exam.... Wrote it with confidence..... and as I left, I met friends and we decided to play a prank on our friends who were yet to finish. We asked how they did on Question 3 and 4 Written (There was no 3 and 4 written, that was the prank). The reactions were priceless, but we spilled the truth as soon as we thought they had enough.
Lol, we're so mean, but it's the relief that comes after the prank that really counts. Then we spent a lot of hours in the library (nerding it out, talking about choir (which I'm in) and critisizing models in magazines. XD). Then I took the pleasant bus ride home and I wrote this. Exciting huh?
P.S. Chemistry 20 Lab Exam Tommorow, plus making progress on the Group 4 project...
