Midterms

This week is a stressful one for a lot of students.  The close of any quarter comes with testing and essays, but the end of the 2nd quarter is particularly stressful.  Midterms come around, however Half Hollow Hills no longer has a midterm week.  We have "cumulative exams" from the first quarter, which practically act exactly like a midterm.  This is the teachers way of making up for a midterm, and giving students another thing to worry about.

Midterms are bitter sweet, though.  Although they are just another exam to worry about, they signify the middle of the school year.  We are now onto the second half of the year, which is somewhat enlightening to many students.
