Taking a page out of April’s book, or in this case a post out of her blog, I’m spending this post reflecting on yesterday and predicting tomorrow.
First: what I thought of the class. I hated it, and I was particularly upset that Geometry was the last period of the day (who wants to end the day in a sleepy stupor because they almost dozed off during 8th?). Plus, Mr. Jarvis was my teacher. You can’t read his writing, his explanations are garbled, and he spent a large portion of class waiting for the kids who were jerking around to straighten out by themselves. And yet…
He was open to suggestions, and if you needed help, he’d give it to you. (Even if it wasn’t helpful.) He knows what he’s doing and is good at it, he just needs to work on conveying it. And he is good at reviewing the material with you. (Just, not good at teaching it in the first place.)
Yesterday (Monday the 16th) I had my first final of exam week. I spent the weekend stressing about it, but not actually studying: that I left for the night before. I slept in, but managed to convince my mom to drive me in early for Jarvis’ review session. It was a good idea to go because it got my brain “thinking in geometry”.
I feel really confidant about how I did on the final. There were a few questions I missed for sure, but the topics that I thought I’d do the worst on, like constructions and circles, I answered with ease.
I’m not feeling so good about tomorrow’s test. The essays should be easy, except I don’t feel prepared to write anything resembling an essay, as I haven’t done much writing at all since Thursday. Does that sound weird? I also had the sudden scary revelation that I can’t remember anything about Global History. Okay… I’m gonna go study now. 
Yay it’s Sarah!
Glad your math exam went well, and hope the global went equally well. (I have “fond” memories of writing an essay completely wrong on the global regents…)
