I can breathe now...

I had part 2 of my TOK test to day. It was an essay but we didn't have to write an actual one. We had to choose between 2 of the questions then we had to do 4 parts.

1)  was underline key terms, defining what in the prompt and so on~~this was easy
2) was to say what the question was asking and how we should answer it in a TOK style~~I think I might have screwed this up cause I don't think I answered it correctly.
3) was to make a detailed outline basically on how you were going to answer the question~~ this one I did but I don't think I had enough info which means I may have not gotten enough credit for it
4) was to write the introduction to the essay~~this I didn't finish at all and my teacher told us to stop writing a few minutes before the bell rang and then said something about how we didn't have time to complete a whole essay (this about gave me a heart attack cause I  thought I had missed the direction  to you know WRITE the essay) I didn't but still

so TOK was a lot easier than I thought it would be hopefully they give us a little slack on grading since that was the first time we had done something like that and I know it through me off at least.

History on the other hand was a different matter entirely. This one I totally failed. We had to write an essay on "Why did the Mexican Revolution last so long?"  sounds easy right? yeah no

I wrote like a page and a half (one paper both sides and one side of another) and I repeated myself so much all the while saying absolutely nothing all the way through. When I said saying nothing I meant it I gave the vaguest of details and absolutely no supporting evidence. I was basically writing for the sake of having something on paper.  

On the plus side ONE more day before two weeks of almost all bliss. I have to my knowledge so far one probably two things of homework over break-one some type of a  photo essay in TOK and maybe reading Jane Eyre for my lit class. hopefully that will be it. I am hoping that I won't have to do my internal assessment  for my infotech class over break cause that would like suck especially since I don't have the correct program at home to work on it.

so besides the writers strike which is screwing with my normal tv schedule- well not really since most shows are on winter break this time any way in a normal year-but still I could use some distractions.
