Test Week

Test week is a unique part of the Accounting Jr. Core. During test week, all classes are canceled. I know that on the surface this sounds nice, but these canceled classes are replaced throughout the week by exams for each of our classes.

The goal for test week is always the same, that is to take advantage of the extra free time to really study early and take the tests fully prepared as early as possible. Like I said, that's the ideal. The result, of course, is far from this goal, and is again, always the same.

Time is arguably wasted (though it is claimed to be spent "studying") and the real studying happens throughout the twilight hours. Tests are taken at the last possible minute following nights of little if any sleep at all. (Random fact: All of my highest scoring tests at BYU have followed all-nighters, not so sure what that says about me.) All personal cares are forgone and replaced by constant attempts at productive studying, though I know ultimately no real studying will take place at a decent hour, even so I just can't help but try to use the daylight hours.

And then the week ends with what seems like little to show for it. Oh the joys of Test Week, which is so nice as to grace us lucky ones in the Jr. Core with its presence three times a semester. This is my world for the next week, to use the office lingo of my siblings, I'll be heads down all day and all night:


PS - I know I should be ashamed of the giant 7-11 drink by my side, but there are times when I have little if any shame, and this just so happens to be one of those times, I hope you can all just choose to look past it. At least there are two water bottles as well.
