"Midterms"

To most January is the year's start
But in the school year it is the middle
Which makes everyone happy a little
Yet there is always one most hated part

I speak of course of dreaded midterms
Which is a problem in and of itself
But to make it worse try and add some germs

It is hard enough to take a midterm test
When you are there for the in class review
And days prior gotten plenty of rest

But being absent three crucial days
Can easily send you into a craze

There is no easy way to overcome
The damage that has already been done

There is only one possible solution
Hard studying with no substitution

And after you've studied all that you can
You have to go into it with a plan
Know what supplies you will need for each class
Mainly you need a pencil or a pen
Pencils break so you may as well bring ten
But in Math you need something greater
You need to remember a calculator

There is no doubt what is the hardest part
Sitting down and waiting for it to start
Once its done, one thing to remember though
How you did is something you have to wait to know.
