Discernible Direction

I'm not really sure where this page goes these days, but I don't intend to take it down or archive it anytime soon. I started posting on here around freshman year in high school after reading through and being encouraged by a mentor's blog. Those last couple sentences were written briefly before my first week of college, and today I just flunked my first college test - two weeks into the semester.

School days generally consist of me briefly blazing up in the morning, followed by a review session, and then finally dragging myself to wash up prior to class. I come home from 3-6 hours of exhausting myself mentally and make an attempt to organize my assignments. To be fair, I did finish most of the homework for the test I just (miserably) failed. I'll get my test back on Tuesday, and that's when I'll see where I went so wrong.

It's funny, the only class whose ice breaker in which I referenced wanting to do well in college is the only one where my grade is below 90%. This is nothing like high school - there's not a day I don't go over my notes, and that's not just because I need to study for my grade. I can do well in most of these without studying, but I want what comes into my head to stick this time. I want to know exactly what I'm studying.
