Hi there! My name is Rujuta Mhaswade and I am back with another blog post.
Recently, I had my final exams! I was tested on four subjects: Mathematics, English Grammar and Composition, Science, and Music.
I had my Math exam first, my English exam next, my Music after that, and I my Science exam last. The general structure for all the exams was really good. I had a good time solving (and struggling with) the Math problems in my Math exam. As for my English exam, I had so much fun making a crossword and giving my family the opportunity to solve a crosswords I, myself, made. For my Science exam, I loved the fact that the questions were about my thoughts to some of the concepts in Science. Lastly, for my Music exam, I was tested by an “external examiner” (my grandmother!), who is a phenomenal singer (and teacher) of the Indian Classical Music and I am happy to receive an “A”!
On all of the exams my dad gave me, he always said that exams are not to embarrass you or dishearten you, they are just there to mark the progress that you have made and to make a note of things you need to work on. I completely agree with this! I observed that whenever had a time limit (my dad was just testing me on how I would do with a time limit), I stressed on how much time I had left and how many questions I had done and how many questions I had remaining. This showed me how much exams can stress someone in the normal school setting! Overall, I would say that I am happy with my progress and am going to keep working hard. Without further ado, on to the start of my summer break!
I am so excited for my summer break! I have so much time now, so I can do whatever I want. Even though it’s my summer break, I still think it should be a well planned summer break. I feel that I should organize my summer break using my calendar so that it’s a well-balanced summer!
Since I live in India, I feel like this “summer break” is more like a “monsoon break” because it is now Monsoon season in India! I have already had so much fun in my break. I go outside to play with my friends and I really hope that I can go back to my gym because I will get to do more gymnastics. I really hope that COVID-19 also stabilizes and people are more careful.
I hope that I have an awesome break and will have so much fun!
I’ll be back next time with another blog post. Bye everyone!
