U-Blog 6 (How I feel about multiple tests during the week)

For some reason ever since I have been in college I have always had multiple tests in the same week. For instance this week I had six tests within three days. I really don't understand how this happens, it almost feels like every teacher gets together and says to one another, "Ok, well when is your test going to be? Well thats good I will put my test right after that one just to see if they can handle it." To be honest, this wouldn't surprise me if this actually did go on within departments. In actuality though, this is not the only time it has happened. I remember having six tests within two days on some occasions, and not to mention finals a week after. Its a good thing I don't stress out hardly at all and can occasionaly do well either way. Although I do know quite a few people who can't handle all the tests on top of one another and ending up failing them one after another, even if they know the material. I feel for those types of people, but as for me I am glad I don't sleep that often in order to stay on top of weeks like these.

I got the opportunity to volunteer at the Lowman Home again for training and I found it to be even more interesting then the first time. I know that they wanted to know alot of information since the last time I was present but it did not occur to me exactly how much. I helped out with someone else's presentation this time and I think they may have spent a total of 5 minutes on the actual presentation and another hour and a half giving hands on training. Most of the problems we encountered weren't exactly our fault I do believe, do to the fact that some of the computers didn't have sound cards and the presentation was for listening to music from CD's and burning CD's. I think the presenters just skipped the burning process altogether due to the fact that none of the computers even had CD Rewritable drives. All and all, I felt we got alot done with that presentation, but I still feel as if we should have better equipment there in order for them to understand even more than what they do now.
