AIMS: The Memior of a Student Who Really Didn't Want to Do It.... (Expressive Piece)

I correct myself, it's not a Memior it's just my opinion. Same thing right? .... Well, no, but Memior sounded better than Complaints of a Students!

I'm tired - exhausted really.  They say some people come out of experiences years wiser and “changed.”  Aims wasn't one of those experiences, however.  Instead, it unnecessarily stressed me out and made me miss classes that have left the rest of my week, and now my weekend, hectic.

I’ve barely slept the past few nights. Teachers packed work on us because of the horrid timing of AIMS; with midterms next week, just for missing one day of school, our teachers poured on the work.  I have a midterm project due on Monday that I stayed up until midnight doing; I'm still not finished.  I have pages of math work, and even English, and I know that within the coming week or so until math AIMS, it will get even worse.

Not only the side effects of the testing were horrible either; the test itself was grueling.  You had to go over your essay over and over and over again; if you make one grammar or spelling mistake say good-bye to that six you want; say good-bye to that free ride to college; say good-bye to the tile up on the wall and your name being always remembered. I’m sure you can understand why it’s so stressful, to think of losing all you had hoped to get from the testing - gone in the blind of an eye. Not only that, but why do they keep us in the room after testing? They never tell us why we have to be there, they just keep you there and if you don’t have a book you’re stuck there staring at the ceiling and wishing that ceiling lights didn’t make that annoying buzzing sound that makes you think of the blue caged lights they use to kill mosquitoes.
              AIMs in my opinion has no point, but to stress students unnecessarily. The prep for it does make you better at certain things, but that could easily be done without having to pressure us so much.  Why do we have to stress?  Lose sleep for nothing?
