Today was pretty boring. I officially hate my History of Jazz class. I took a test today, and i'm pretty sure i didn't do well. I studied and studied and studied, and i knew everything on my flash cards.. but the test was so ... random. I completely studied the wrong things.. Last time, the test was oriented on the different players, what they played, and how they contributed. This time, it was all about the significance of the songs. I knew the players, and their significance, for the most part. I studied what i thought i needed to.. i made flash cards, i listened to the songs, i read the book.. i don't know what to do. i might go to the professor and talk to him, and see if theres some way i can make up some points.
I am definitely not a history person. I can't get a timeline in my head, or make connections between people or ideas. It just doesn't work. give me a math problem, or a science theory, and i can solve it with my eyes shut (just a slight bit of exaggeration there..), but give me a few people in History, and i immediately forget. I can't hold onto the information. Even things who sings my favorite song, or who wrote my favorite book... forget it. I won't know.
And the worst problem of all? The only grades in that class are the tests. if there was homework, it might be a little easier.

Now, after that rant, let me add that i'm doing fine in almost all of my class. I absolutely adore sociology, and english. They keep my interest really easily, and the teachers are easy and fun. Book of Mormon, Civ, and Biology aren't too bad.. i've got fairly good grades, and i'm enjoying them. And i officially love BYU. It's the best.

So, i did really well not getting onto facebook at the wrong times today! Whoot! lol.. at 12:01, i had four different people pop up and tell me to go to bed.. it made me laugh, because that's what i told everyone to do.. I would have been off already, except we were in the middle of dorm prayer, and i had forgotten to sign out. Day one down.. maybe i should make this a short-term goal, so that it's actually got an ending. Here's what i'll do: if i make it two weeks without breaking my rules, i will buy myself a new shirt. maybe. or do something equally self-indulging. I'll have to come up with what.. ice cream maybe?
Anyway.. off to study for the written half of the Jazz test. *sigh*. Wish me luck!
