Mid TERMS

All week I have been sick, sleep deprived, and studious. Although an excellent use of alliteration, not an excellent use of my time. One thing that has paid of is the amount of studying I've done. It is not an acceptable amount, but enough to give me that satisfied feeling when an exam is over.
Tuesday I had a reading test. I did well enough on it. However, the overwhelming thought that my reading teacher dislikes me was enough of a distraction to forget some of the easiest things possible. That is the only regret I have for all of my mid-terms thus far. What really counted were today and yesterday's test.
Over two days I had my midterm for Japanese speaking 4, Wednesday was an oral test, and today was my listening/grammar test. The oral test went amazingly well, my professor was very satisfied with my performance. It was honestly my first really good oral exam. My sensei said that she was worried I wouldn't do to well (since my last test grade was so bad), but was relieved to see I had made the effort to study. Today's second half of the exam went reasonably well. Granted I did not know some very important things, I was actually able to finish on time. I feel good about the whole thing in general, and hope that this will positively affect my final grade in that class.
I have a quiz in my next class, and it counts as a midterm. I am not well prepared for it, but I heard that the professor makes his questions easy. I hope I do alright. The class is Culture & Everyday Life in Japan. This weekend we are going on a field trip in that class. We are going to observe a dojinshi convention in Osaka, it will be very interesting. Tons and tons of awkward people interacting on a large scale. This will be Sunday. On Saturday, Johnny and I will be tagging along on another field trip in Yuri and Maija's religion class. (After note: The quiz was in fact easy.)
Tomorrow is my last mid-term (writing test), and my only class for the day. After this I intend to take it easy; well as easy as I can at least.
