The Stress of Non-Exams

So I am taking two exam subjects out of 4 (those being IB English and Physics 11, with my other subjects being Computer Science and IB Film Studies).  So unlike most of my friends, I only have two days of exams and then I’m done for another week.  No school.

Seeing as you can’t really study for English, I’m worried about Physics but not stressed.

Film Studies is basically going to be prep time, Physics won’t even have a unit test, Computer Science is as computer science always has been (though I am now using that time to learn Python. Great language. Easy to learn) and in English we are watching Apocalypse Now (based on the ever-dreaded Heart of Darkness) and then working on our world lit papers due at the end of the week.
Unfortuneately, I’m only half-done my WL One paper, so we’ll see how that works.
