Sick Sunday

Laying in bed, hacking up a lung, wishing I had my mom's homemade chicken noodle soup to cure my icky feeling that keeps overwhelming me. Halloween weekend, always gets you sick, I still don't understand why my favorite holiday, Halloween, can't be in August instead of freezing October. Tonight I plan on going to bed unrealistically early, in hopes that it will help heal how disgustingly sick I feel. Usually I make these blogs super pretty too, but for some reason it doesn't seem as appealing this particular Sunday as it usually does. But I'll try my best. Also, all of my never ending hours spent living in Bird these past two weeks has payed off, because I don't have a ridiculous amount of work to do tonight besides start to finish up my Exam Experiment! So, for this weeks blog, we can write about whatever we want to, which is great. For me, I decided to pick the Target Planner of course, as well as 20 Minute Test Prep!
For Target Planner I decided to use it for my exam in Astronomy coming up, which I am also doing the Exam Experiment for! Astronomy for some reason just doesn't like me, I continuously struggle with it. Last semester, so second semester of freshman year, I took Astronomy 104 thinking I would be looking at constellations. Oh boy was i wrong! You do physics, and math, and everything confusing for a person who doesn't understand math or science. So, being my stupid self sometimes I decided it would be a fantastic idea to take Astronomy 101 this semester thinking I would be prepared and k
now what to expect. Worst idea ever. So now I am stuck taking this horrible class, which is why I chose to use it for the Exam Experiment! Even though I have already begun to study for the upcoming exam by simply doing my experiment project, I wanted to make a target planner for my study schedule because seeing it layed out really helps me to prepare. So now I have a organized way to know what my study schedule should be in order to succeed on my test. This strategy for me really helps me evaluate not only what I should be doing, but it helps me learn what to do in order to fufill the expectation of the professor.
Then there is the 20 Minute Test Prep and for this I did something similar to Joy. There are a lot of definitions to know so I mixed the 20 Minute Test Prep and Jeopardy Notes! They are kind of similar and I like both of them a lot so I combined them and made up my own way that better helps me which is also a very simple strategy.
