Nervous Conditions End and Test (Free Post)

I am glad that we are done with Nervous Conditions (except for the project). Now I feel that there is less work for me to have to do for English, so I can work on bringing my biology grade up to where it used to be. I felt confident prior to the Nervous Conditions test, that I would do well on the test after finishing the book and paying attention in class discussion. I felt that these two alone would at least get me an "A" on the test. The night before part one of the test, I studied the Prezis Dr. D made and notes I had taken on literary elements and postcolonial literature. Walking into the test with this information in my head, I felt 100% ready for the test.

When glancing at the first part of the test, it looked really long until I realized the first two pages were multiple choice. I worked through the test after that and felt that I knew the answers to the questions. It took me the whole class period (plus three minutes) to take the first part. The second part however took me a bit more than the class time allotted to finish. I ended up writing a lot of annotations for the close reading in a very short amount of time. However, the Literary Analysis was what ate away most of my time. I didn't write a lot (1.25 pages?), but made my point clear in a short and concise manner.
