That was draining - mentally and physically. Hard to walk out knowing you could not answer a question you were expected to answer. Had I studied too little? No. Had I studied incorrectly? Maybe. There are things I would do differently if I could magically start over! I now know those things I thought I could just read as interesting were things to understand and memorize. I will never look at a footnote in the same way again! Add that to the brething marks.
Walking home was cathartic. Just reflecting on the first 8 days. In awe of all I had learned; very fearful that I could survive 22 more days of drinking from a fire hose. And how do I KEEP all I have "drunk"??
Took a nap - and two aspirin.
Then it was jump back in, study the two chapters introducing verbs that were introduced yesterday right after the test (there should be some law requring a 24-hour time lapse between a major test and having to learn something new!), study/memorize it last night, take a quiz on it, read the two chapters that will be discussed today, do workbook exercises for the new chapters and then finally...
...sleep. Blessed restorative sleep. Blessed is one of our new vocab words. My favorite! I'll take it!
