When hard work pays off

Tests...

Ugh.

Why must they be worth so much of your grade?!

Talk about stress!

I am always dedicated to getting good grades but man that takes some good dedication.  This past week I've had four major assignments/test that are worth a good chunk of my grade in each of my classes.  That means procrastination was not an option, only commitment to studying was allowed but that is easier said than done.  Each test was completely different from each other meaning my habits had to be different each time.  I had to remember steps and forms for my accounting test, I had to remember loads of information for my communication class, I had to do extensive research and write a paper for my leadership class, and read and dissect a novel for my English class.  At the time of my studying I was so not into it and wanted to close the book and stop but I knew better than that.  I knew when I wanted to quit I was no where near prepared.  I have yet to know what my grade outcome has been for these assignments/tests but I can say that I came out of them with ease and confidence.  I did not doubt myself because I felt confident with my answers and responses.  Although I stress and complain about not wanting tests or wanting to study, the feeling I get once I turn it in is one of relief and ease.  I can only wait and hope that my grades reflect the hard work I put into it all.
