I mean, yeah, I\u2019m not taking another test anytime soon, but does that mean I\u2019m completely done with them? I wonder what my grades will be. I studied my butt off; I hope I get good grades. Oh, now I\u2019m anxious. I\u2019m gonna be thinking about my grades all week. Oh gosh, now I know for sure: <strong>I am not done with my midterms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I should really find something to take my mind off them. Oh, I know! Music always puts me in a nice, relaxing mood. Let me hop on YouTube real quick&#8230; Hmm, what\u2019s this? \u201cRelaxing Pok\u00e9mon Music Compilation?\u201d Just what I needed! <span>\u00a0<\/span>Wow, this music really brings me back\u2026 I remember playing these games all the time when I was a kid. Little ol\u2019 Frank capturing monsters and trading them with his friends. Nothing could keep me away from that Gameboy; I just had to become the Pok\u00e9mon Champion! Haha, I kinda miss those times! I remember having to hand over my Gameboy to my mom when an <em>exam<\/em> was coming up so I could study without distractions. Oh no, there I go again thinking about exams. <strong>I am so not done with my midterms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019m just too tired. This music has really put me in a sleeping mood. Some shut-eye will definitely calm my anxiety. Ahh, this bed sure is comfy. Time to count some sheep and go to the land of make believe. 1, 2, 3, 4, was question 5 true or false? I\u2019m pretty sure it was false. Did I answer false? I\u2019m pretty sure I did not. Maybe it\u2019s actually true? Let me double-check in my notes real quick\u2026 Yep, definitely true. Wait, did I really answer false? I think I actually answered true on that one. Yeah, the one <em>before <\/em>it was the false one. Or maybe I\u2019m just misremembering\u2026 <strong>Agh, I am 100% not done with my midterms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wait, what am I doing? I already took the midterms. I already handed them in. There\u2019s nothing I can do about them now. You know, I gave it my all studying these past few days. I did my very best in those midterms. There\u2019s no use worrying on what <em>might<\/em> be. Gosh, I\u2019m losing my mind over an uncertainty. Heh, I wonder what little Frank would think of me if he saw me now? Life was so carefree back then, now all I seem to do is worry. It doesn\u2019t have to be that way. I could afford some relaxation time. Some time for myself, some time for fun. I hear there\u2019s a new Pok\u00e9mon game coming out real soon. I wonder how the new Pok\u00e9mon look. Maybe I could hit up some of my friends back home, maybe get the game together and trade Pok\u00e9mon like old times\u2026 Yeah, just like old times\u2026 <strong>You know, I guess I <em>am<\/em> done with my midterms.<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen we are children we seldom think of the future.
