From doing my reading I've learned that I know next to nothing about the English language. How is it that I can speak fluently, and yet not be able to explain why a sentence sounds correct or not? Honestly, I feel like I have a lifetime (or at least a semester's-worth) of information that I need to learn and memorize in order to do well on this upcoming grammar test.
I think what I'll have to do is re-do all of our in-class quizzes, and study the answer keys to understand why I missed what I did. I'll probably need to re-read several sections of the reading, take the practice test, and study that for a long time. I may also need to pay a visit to the TA's office. It looks like I have my work cut out for me. But with one sister in the ER as I type, another sister mourning the loss of her mother (we had the same dad, but not the same mom), and all of my many siblings headed this way for the funeral, I honestly am not sure how I will fit all of that in alongside working and my calling responsibilities.
This is why I take one to two classes a semester. I don't know how you full-timers do it. It seems like there's always something.
