The Right Answer

I get a little anxious about being tested on what I may or may not know.
Last night I took the first quiz for Introduction to the Study of Religion after putting it off all day.
Yup, I waited until I was tired to exacerbate my anxiety.
I took the quiz more than once, aghast that the first attempt did not elevate my self esteem to genius status.

I did do the reading, I should have been able to zip through it providing evidence of such but, sadly, no, I did not.
My head was still full of Sociology reading, History reading, and a video that made me cry in my Sociology class.
Also, there was a trick involved in the quiz; more than one answer to a question.
I did not see an "all of the above" answer so I checked the one I thought was most relevant.
Oops!

What I learned on my Thursday vacation in Religious Studies:

  • I am not as smart at night as I am in the morning
  • Being tested makes me anxious
  • Sometimes I forget what I thought I knew
  • You can check more than one box in life
  • My head has a limited capacity to hold on to previous information when there is a constant stream of new information
