Nutrition

Today I had my first nutrition exam. I thought I was going to throw up, I was so nervous. After taking it, I believe that it was a pretty fair exam. Some of the questions had two answers that I could see fitting, but of course, you had to pick the better one. The main things that I focused on for the exam were the vitamins and minerals. Thank God I made flash cards for them, or else I would have been totally lost. The amount of information I had to retain for this exam is unfathomable. I am dreading the final with all my heart. Right before the exam, I felt like I was going to pass out. The paper work we had to sign about cheating made me even more nervous than I had to be. I’m always worried that teachers think I am cheating when I’m zoning out and talking the question out to myself. I am also afraid of my phone going off, even though I turned it off because that happened to my friend in high school one time. I have such bad luck that that would happen to me. After the individual exam, we got into groups according to the version of the exam we had and took the exam over again. I think the discussion I had with my group really helped me understand more concepts and to see how other people’s thought processes occurred. Overall, I think we did really well as a group. The most frustrating thing about having to take this exam was that I had to sit through an extremely drawn-out lecture. I was so brain dead and absolutely done with nutrition that I had no idea what she was saying. I just can’t wait for my patho quiz to be over tomorrow so that I can have a two-day break before I start studying for the exam for that class next week!
