Exam number one Testimony


My first exam experience besides the sweaty palms and oh God do I know the information moments; I thought didn't go so well. Personally, I hadn't taken an exam in more than ten years and oh boy have the exam days changed. In my mind, when I read the instructions for question number one, my mind went blank, and I started to second guess every answer that popped into my head. I would call it test jitters at its finest. 

 

   What can I say, I expected it to ask questions that I did not quite know the answers too and it lived up to my expectations and much more. In preparation for exam one, I skimmed over my notes, ate a healthy breakfast and only slept three hours. Now I certainly would not classify those as valid methods, but eating breakfast did help me stay awake during the exam. And going over my notes in the hallway before class helped some information stick in my brain.

 

   My approach towards exam two will strikingly differ from review one, whether it's taking off work the evening before the exam or getting a restful nights sleep to function on exam day. I believe creating flashcards then letting Betty Sue test my knowledge, and definitions will also help me going into the next exam.  Most importantly I will study, practice, then study, and practice some more until I know all the material. 

 

    The easiest part of the exam for me was when you had to define the word in your own words. I found to be the easiest, or at least on the ones I knew were correct.  One of the difficult areas on the exam was filing in the missing blanks. My mind was already empty and filling in the answers to a question that had multiple blanks was not helpful at all in answering.  If given the opportunity, I would suggest the young cub's pace them selfs, carefully read before writing or responding and have someone in the class quiz you before class starts.

 

   My method of relaxing before exam day would be to pray and drink lots of wine. Afterwards, I would head to work and forget about the test. Stressing over if you passed or what answers were wrong vs. correct will not change your grade. Make it a learning opportunity and show your growth on the next exam.

    I should have gone over my notes, but I honestly thought there was not going to be a lot of questions from out notes. The vocabulary was also the easiest part for me because that is what I studied the most.

    I do not discriminate Mr. Still, I prefer red and white wine. I do indulege in Albarino wine with Goat cheese, but also enjoy Chardonnay paired with Chicken. My absolut faviorte is Petite Sirah with dark choloctete, you can say that I am hooked like a catfish on Ugly Stilk reel. My palate over here doing the holly dance!

    The filling in the blank was a little confusing to me. But I like your method of relaxing. Praying and wine that is a very good key to relax your mind after a test.

Figurative Language, Hank Williams Jr., Garth Brooks, and Chris Stapleton

Image
Hank Williams Jr., from Shreveport, Louisiana, is one of my idol songwriters in country music. He created his own musical existence, through connecting country with Southern rock and blues. Originally, Hank Williams Sr. wrote and recorded, “There’s A Tear in My Beer”, in 1951, but later rerecorded by his son Hank Williams Jr. in 1988, after the unexpected passing of Hank Williams Sr. in 1953. His music style creates imagined stories that sprout life on stage, leaving his audience emotionally connected with each lyric he sings.   One of my favorite songs,   "Tear in My Beer" on the album Pink Cadillac , The Williams sing,   “ There’s a tear in my beer / ‘cause I’m cryin’ for you, dear / you are on my lonely mind.”   The classic song is an example of an idiom, because “There’s a tear in my Beer”, gives you a glimpse into Hank Williams Sr. loneliness and emotions as his fallen tears drip-drop into his ...

Response to article "Hurricane Maria and relief efforts in Puerto Rico"

  In the  Los Angeles Times article,  "Trump praises hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico amid criticism of a slow response,"  by Molly Hennessy-Fiske and Laura King.  Trump visits Puerto Rico on a reassurance mission in an attempt to bring comfort to all Puerto Rico residents that he is dedicated to their recovery process after hurricane Irma devastates the island.  Trumps attempt to show his concern for Puerto Rico fall short. Instead, Trump “so graciously” complains and states “I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you through our budget a little out of whack!,” and even tosses around jokes when others are struggling to survive and cope.  Then Trump’s displays an attempt to show his concern for the Island residence as he propels rolls of paper towels into the crowd while voicing “The job that’s been done here is nothing short of a miracle, he said.  Now mind you, millions in Puerto Rico are still without power, food, and water.  How...

Fun, Witty and Pretty

Funny, Witty and Pretty       Howdy!  I’m Christina Marie DeLong.  I am from the “bipolar weather state of Texas”!  Where Mother Nature cannot help but, bless you with winter for breakfast and summer for lunch, you learn to adapt.  I was naturally born in a hospital, in Bryan, Texas. As if my life could not be any greater, my not so smart parents decide to multiply at an alarming rate.  Not only one, but even more hard head tiny little mouths to feed. You guessed it! I am far from being soiled, and I hate sharing! Being the youngest girl out of eight children did come with definite perks. Like learning from my sisters and brothers mistakes, having a gang of personal Uber drivers at your doorstep, figuring out tricks to doing your chores the fastest, and bodyguards for when little boys like Tommy break your heart.     I am interested in a lot of things. First one is serving the Lord on Sunday’s, bible study a...
