  They call it HELL WEEK and I don't really know why. They say it's when schoolwork has piled up. Others say it's the finals week. The week when you cram all the requirements. The week when you study your lessons really, really extrasuperduperhard. The week when others say you're lucky when you've had a 3-hour sleep. Well, I still have a vague idea about it. I woke up today feeling lazy to go my 8:30 class. However, I did get out of bed 20min. after my alarm clock sounded- that is, after a couple of snoozings. Haha. While I was in the shower room, the thought about hell week entered my mind out-of-the-blue (and green!). First, I asked myself why they call it hell week. I think I've had hell-week-like experiences in high school and although it really felt like punishments to students like me, I never really thought of it as hellish.
It just wasn't. In fact, those were the times when, honestly, I prayed twice more often than usual. Nobody prays in hell, that's just so common sense. Second, studying isn't supposed to be getting high grades. Well, partly, it is but there are times when not studying can help. In my case, I only study the night before an exam.
And sometimes, I don't study even if a quiz was announced. Why? I'ts not just because I'm lazy or anything but I prefer to at least, for some moments in my student life, I preserve the essence of quizzes. Quizzes were supposed to assess a student's understanding of the topic and not a student's standing in class. They were meant to test (that's why they're called such) if student's have grasped the subject. Reviewing because I'm aware that there's an upcoming exam is like fooling myself. It's not that I don't care if I get a low grade, it's just that I wouldn't mind getting a low mark if that's what I really deserve to get.
I don't exxactly know how it helped me but I believe it did. (I know i'm getting off-tangent) Enough of my senseless quirks. I know I'm getting nowhere.
