It's 7th week and I finally get to take my last midterm of the quarter. I don't think professors fully understand the prefix "mid", but in this case I don't mind too much that I had an extra week to study for this (even if I only studied for the last two days).
After this, I get to play catch-up. This is a good week to get back on top of things. Gotta stay focused.
It wasn't that bad. It was actually easy. Relative to all my other exams, it was a walk in the park. The only downside in my mind was all the damn writing. Way.. too.. much.. writing. I had to take a half way break just to let my wrist chill.
The fact that my TA is pretty chill with grading helps me relax. I always think the worst part of an exam isn't the exam itself or checking your horrible grade the week after. The worst part of an exam, you see, is the anxiety before it. The anticipation. That's the worst part. Did you study the right things when you gambled? Do you remember all the formulas? Or all 7 things that cause this or that? It maybe be only the first 5 minutes before the exam, when your heart starts to beat out loud. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. But it feels like an eternity.
If it wasn't for that, I'd take midterms everyday. Just kidding.
