Religion- I love God, let's get that straight. Jesus is my Messiah and Savior, along with being the Big Man's only Son. I got that. The Holy Spirit did its thang and came down on the 12 Apostles on Pentecost. Crystal clear. Honestly, I feel like that's all I need to know for this exam and I'll be pretty prepared. Well, along with my natural intellect. But seriously, I never knew there was so much depth to the Bible, enough that I a) have to take a class, b) have a full on study guide, and c) have a final exam. WHY? And as if vocabulary (the school's sick idea of fusing classes together) wasn't enough, we have to be able to identify Bible passages, their writers, and their genres.
English- This has been one of my favorite classes all year.....until testing time. I hate every test in this class (not the class, just these stupid, impossible tests). Like, the detail these questions ask seem like they were picked out by English scholars FOR English scholars, NOT high schoolers. Such as "What does the color of the curtain in chapter 14 symbolize?" "THE BOOK HAD MORE THAN 3 CHAPTERS?!" I mean, I get that because it's an HONORS class, they expect us to be able to answer these questions...shit, half the kids IN honors have been riding the cheating wagon all the way to the finish line since middle school, so lower these supposed 'expectations'. The hardest part, hands down, will be poetry. We studied it for two weeks, yet it'll be two thirds of our exam. Super. Give us an hours and fourty-five minutes to analyze poems about GOD KNOWS WHAT with references to historical events and animals and the zombie apocalypse and such. But it's fine, it's not like I WANTED to stay in honors or anything, no biggie.
