Exhausted

My personal quest for the ever-elusive Dean's list just got a little tougher. Preliminary grades are out and they aren't what I expected. I already know they have to drop at least one question in MCB (since they had the correct answer choice appear twice) and I'm hoping maybe a couple more questions will be dropped in some of my other exams. Hope isn't totally lost yet. I still have Block 4 exams and Finals, but this is going to require me to put solid hours in every day for these last 5 weeks. But the major problem is, no matter how much I say I need to study, I never really start going all out till Block Week. Hell, I don't even actually memorize anything until the weekend before exams! This is a problem. It might have worked out well the first two blocks but it's only because they are three weeks long. Blocks 3 and 4 are each four weeks long, and jamming in that extra week of material in my one weekend causes all sorts of problems.

Sunday night I slept three hours. I went to bed at 2 am and woke up at 5 am to review all the material before my exams. For anyone who knows me, you know how much I hate sacrificing sleep. I love sleeping almost more than anything and I make sure I get 7-8 hours every single night. 3 hours of sleep the night before block exams? Eh. My mind wasn't really functioning for most of the morning, but at least it kicked into gear by exam time. Another problem? My family's in town. They came Saturday of Block Weekend and I ended up going out with them Saturday night! NO BUENO. 

So much to work on, but still plenty of time to get myself right. Although...

 Let's just say I'm not off to the best start since I skipped classes today to go around the island with my family. After I finished my exams yesterday, I ended up going to the French side of the island with them to eat at Cafe de Paris in Marigot (awesome food, highly recommended). We finished around 10 pm and I made my way to Bamboo Bernies to celebrate my friends' birthdays and then we all went to Brother Jimmy's and Tantra to drink/dance the night away. Tomorrow is another day. I hope I can seize it.
