Tremont

Welcome back to all Tremont goers. I speak for everyone when I say that we had so much fun. Even thou that I got blisters, that were killing my mood, I still had one of the best times of my life. The ten mile hike was intense and challenged almost everybody. But one person stood out among all during that hike. Senior Victor Dornette did an amazing job. He fell behind with me when I was struggling. Victor also didn't take a single sip of water during the hike.
One of the other activities that we did was a night hike, were it was so dark that you really couldn't see one foot in front of you. The next night we sang around a campfire and did one of my favorite things. Ram- Sam- Sam, which other didn't find as entertaining as I did. Then on the last day, we all woke up with sad faces. I hiked to the falls with my group and after lunch departed for home.
Tremont was one of the best experience of my life. I encourage everybody to sign up next year

How to study

Studying the night before a test is not an efficient way of study. Repetition is the best way of studying and making sure that whatever it is stays in your brain. Mrs. Hadaway just told us to copy down these twelve things every night before we go to bed and by the time the test comes around, it will be locked in our brains.
I think we all know that, but not a lot of us actually follows. This year for my last ANP test I had my binder by me the entire day studying, and it really didn't help that much. For a lot of us who are procrastinators, this method will not always be efficient enough to get by. Study groups are a great way of studying for a test. Maybe other students get what you don't.
So repetition is the best way for studying for a test
