i think i just unlocked EXAM STRESS!
the board says, 중간고사 D-5.
yesterday it was D-6. why does time go so fast. well screw it. before i start attempting to tick things off my to-do list, i guess i'll write some funny test-related stories today.
at the end of class, our teacher warned us to stay healthy and don't miss out the test, or else you'll get 최하점의 차하점 which means you get one point less than the student with the lowest score in the whole school. if you're really sick though, you can get the right papers and you won't get grades cut off for attendance. however, your midterm score will be 80% of your finals score so conclusion: take the test.
and then one kid asked, 'but what if i got cancer?' and then a bunch of kids started asking things like, 'but what if i was kidnapped the day before the test and nobody could find me?', 'what if i drowned in a sea?', 'what if i was in a car accident?'1, or 'what if i changed my name so nobody could know i used to own this report card from 7th grade?'
and then we all laughed. :>
after class, a classmate asked me if i studied for the test. i did kinda study but i didn't feel like i studied so i said, 'yeah i didn't study, i didn't didn't study, but then i didn't study, but i didn't didn't study...' and so on. she told me i had high expectations and i definitely studied as much as the others. i'm not sure cuz the other kids go to hakwon to solve 100 questions per day and use every second of their lives to study, meanwhile i waste at least 3 hours after school.
and then on the way home, i spotted some 2013s2 i know at the convenience store, so i went up to them, they said hi, i didn't bow to them because i instinctively bow to people ever since i entered middle school, and i told them about how i have midterm and a debate competition. and then one of the 2013s was like, 'oh cool so now i know what the reality of being a middle schooler is like.' and i was like 'now i'll show you more about the reality.' and i showed them my social studies textbook. they were like 'whoa the cover is prettier than i thought' and then i showed them the insides with a lot of notes and they were like 'it is not pretty.' and then i showed them my test range and they were like 'wow should we end our lives before getting to middle school' so i told them if they're gonna end their lives, they should do it after their first summer vacation cuz the 1st semester of 7th grade doesn't involve any tests and it's actually really fun to be in middle school minus tests. and then i said bye and came home.
so yeah!
