off to the polls

I know there's been many a posts devoted to the onslaught of exams that us student bloggers must go through, but my week is borderline ridiculous (I have an International Baccalaureate exam everyday this week with the exception of Friday) Not too stressed because it does not matter much, but writing four papers in 2.5 hours on the origins of the Cold War, Mao Zedong, single-party states, development of the PRC, East-West rivalry post WWII, etc. today was not exactly my idea of fun either. The history paper-writing continues tomorrow along with the first part of the math exam, 7 hours of testing, bring it?

In other news, I went to cast my vote for presidential primaries today and I got a sticker that said "I Voted." So yes, go democrats, I won't disclose who I cast my ballot for, lest you judge me.

Annnd, this is an old outfit from a few weekends or something ago.

Target striped long sleeve worn as a skirt, vintage Tommy Hilfiger polo,
grey hoodie from unknown place, Urban Outfitters black stirrup tights,
Natural Comfort peeptoe platforms (which I rarely ever wear, despite there comfort)


I should go be studious now. Wish me luck tomorrow, and tell me what you're up to!

Oh I LOVE IT!

So creative :)

Best of luck tomorrow!!! I'm an exam hater. I'm sure most would agree that they are pointless.

4 years of law school and do I use ANY of what I've learnt in the real world? LOL no.

Just some reality stuff ;) But do work hard, it's rewarding!

Ack i remember the days of AP testing and the sleepless night i spent studying, it pays off though, i got to skip about 3 classes in college bc i had the ap credit for them. I love your platforms though. They're a really nice color, and they go great with the nautical stripes

jayne said...

love show you wore the shirt as a skirt! so creative :) i'm bogged down by evil teachers who are dumping a project in every class just because they know we're second semester seniors ugg. currently i should be writing a paper on the vichy regime for french in french, finishing up my photography project, writing 3 mini essaies for english, and writing a supreme court brief for constitutional law...ahhh!

im in full IB, and your exam schedule sounds waaaay different. im pretty sure it went 2.5 hours of THREE history papers (and if your teacher was smart, he/she would only tell you to study for the two topics youd write on for paper 2, not ALL of those. epsecially since the cold war basically overlaps all three history papers). and wednesday was only 4 hours of testing, history paper three and math paper 1. are you in full IB? because to me thrusday was the worst. math paper 2 and Chem paper 1 AND 2...3.5 hours of testing.

Frances said...

Good luck on your test ! I applied to IB this year and i'm not sure whether i hope i'm not getting in or that i'm getting in, people keep telling me it's awful :D

Anyway i'm liking the outfit, the polo goes very nicely with the skirt.
