Well, I just had a New Testament exam. It was only 50 multiple choice, and by rights of it it should have been easy. There were no surprises, no trick questions, just a review of what we've done up to now. But I am 90% certain I did not do well. I was not sure about most of it. I blame this on a few things.
a) Not paying enough attention in class. Too many times I am on the friggin internet instead of simply having my Pages open and listening to the lecture. I need to get STRICT on myself and not do anything but class when I am on my laptop. Otherwise I will go like I did in undergrad and resort back to paper and pen.
b) Not getting all of the readings done. I did most, but I could have easily done them all if I was more disciplined and didn't waffle so much of my time, particularly last week.
c) Not being disciplined enough in my review, especially last night. I would review for like an hour... then waffle my time for an hour plus.
I am so mad at myself! I was up until 2:30 last night, looking through Britt's photobucket and posting on
hanson.net. Like really Jen? REALLY? I need to get a grip on reality and put myself back in gear big time. I am SO LUCKY to be at ADC, to have this time to study, to be taught New Testament by Craig Evans... I can't believe how stupid I have been the past... well, month. Sometimes you have to learn your lesson the hard way I guess, and I think I just did. Starting right now (actually starting an hour ago) I need to completely regroup and refocus. I will treat that exam as a major wakeup call to the rest of the year. Wake up, Jen! Work!
