Purpose of Midterms....

Ok, now that my cat has finally finished using my leg as a scratching post (she won't use the one we bought from Petco, apparently she likes her stuff organic :)) , I can actually write something. You maybe wondering what the h-echo- lima-lima I'm doing not studying for midterms. Well, you see, I've decided that midterms aren't what they're chalked up to be. Seriously. Midterms are just another tactic our evil teachers have come up with to drive us as crazy as Barack Obama (excuse my not being politically incorrect enough). After 5 hours of reading textbooks, i feel like my brain's been permanantly traumatized. Seriously. When my mom asked me how my day was, I began reciting "Displacement Under Constant Acceleration" from the Physics textbook. If you look at it closely, midterms are just a cumulative test with a big, bad, ugly name slapped on it. Studying for Midterms should take less than an hour per subject. Anyhow, teachers benefit from midterms. They throw us a gigantic bone to keep us busy, then they get to catch up on their General Hospital while we toil and sweat our brains out trying to memorize everything.

What now? Why don't we all just relax, and actually eat something instead of a book on Kinematics. Cuz midterms are nothing more a 200-question scantron test with an official name on it. None of us were scared of the ASK, or the HESPA, or the SSATs, why should we be totally freaked about the midterms?
