Feb 25th – Day of Starting Midterm Week

My first midterm was civ which it wasn’t too bad. The exam was in two parts. We were to read a passage and answer questions at the end and the answers were in the reading. Easy enough! Except for they really weren’t in the reading so I kind of had to pull out what I remembered on that section. I hoped what I answered would end up being okay. The second half were subjects randomly selected from all the themes we’ve covered and it was short answer. So you had to put what you knew about the topic in a clear and concise way, and obviously in Spanish. After my first midterm, I looked over my flashcards for film class and the midterm in that class turned out to be easier too! We had four questions to answer in essay form over the movies comparing them and their demonstration of themes from the war. I knew the answer to three of the four and could give good examples to show my point. The fourth question I was more iffy on but I think I still did pretty well. Two of my four midterms were over and I had another to go tomorrow afternoon in my history of art class. Once I finished I went to my host home where Ana and Danit were waiting for me to see how it went. I told them very well and they said ‘Buena Chica!’ which means good girl. I ate dinner and then went to go study for the rest of the night for art class. I made drawings of structures so I would remember what they were called and of the characteristics to each type of art so I would be able to recognize them. Then I went to sleep a little more anxious because this one would be the hardest of the four.
