Test day anxiety ...

I think over the years I have learned to hate standardized tests of any type.  I know sometimes they may be necessary, but really? Is teaching to the test really as beneficial as teaching the information that students need in order to progress and succeed in life?  I'll save that rant for another day.

This morning, I'm about to go take the Praxis II which determines not only if I can get a teaching license, but a job in January.  aka: it's a big deal.  I've already taken half of it with means this morning all I have to take is the writing portion.  But did I study? Not nearly as much as I probably should have.

I have never been great at studying.  I've learned to get by over the years without studying at all.  My philosophy? If I can get by with an A- not studying at all, why be the overachiever trying to be that person we all hate who make 100s on everything? 

I hope it doesn't come back and bite me in the butt this time! 

Also on the agenda for this weekend is shopping for a birthday dress (15 more days! ahh!) and the Panthers vs. Tennessee game tomorrow with daddy! 

Hope everyone has a spectacular fall weekend!
