Highlighter Stars.

I had the first of two tests today. This one was for Other Americas. It was horrible.

Well, the first question wasn’t too bad - admittedly I panicked when I looked at the first section because it was either answering on something from Week 1 that I hadn’t bothered to re-read in my revision, or the Cuban revolution, which I didn’t revise either. But then I realised that the first question wasn’t as scary as it seemed and rambled about Native Americans and the way in which they were treated by the Spanish settlers.

The second section, on the other hand? Ugh. It was a question on rootlessness vs. a question on magical realism. Seriously, what kind of word is rootlessness? Not being entirely sure what it meant, I did the question on magical realism. I wish I’d gone with my gut feeling on what rootlessness meant and done that question instead, because I had literally nothing to write about magical realism. I’m not sure my answer even stretched to a page in length.

And I have another test - for Foundations of America - tomorrow at 9am.
Still, at least I’ll be done for the term by 10.30.
