Okay, so I really feel the need to rant as I sit here on my bed,with sunshine pouring in, listening to the birds chirping and kids playing--having to sit inside and memorize special education trivia for a midterm tomorrow am...SOOOOO not fair. I really feel as though I am being tortured!! I mean for the past 4 months I've been locked inside because of frigid temperatures and no daylight...now the time has come for me to return to jogging and spending time outside and I can't because of this stupid exam...I think exams are terrible- if you need to know something out in the real world you don't need to search your brain trying to remember what you read in the text book, you ask somebody or google it, or go check out your textbook-that's why I believe in open book exams or no exams! Oh and also, I learned about this crazy little thing called "false memory" a week or two ago- where your brain actually tricks you into remembering things that don't exist!! Well why then in a psychology class where they should know that this little memory glich exists, would they continue to set students up for failure by giving multiple choice exams that require memory from single sentences in the text?! (can you say conspiracy?! ha)
Check out this gem of a cartoon:

Anyway, I better get back to the unfortunate, life draining task of studying...
Amen Sister!!!
