School Life; Assessments After Assessments

I finally finished my second last exam for this term.

I now just have 4 assignments and one exam left until school holidays come round again. ...which would then come more exams and assignments, and the cycle continues.

The exam I'd done earlier today was my [2nd] Japanese Speaking Exam, something that has been freaking me out for quite a while.
I did it, and when sensei said "arigatou", I was so shocked I turned speechless. "...Is that it!?"
"Yes, that was it."
"..." I blinked. "I... I see..."
It was insanely easy, and she asked me those questions, what is your name, how old are you, what grade are you in, what are your hobbies, what do you do on Sundays, what did you do today...
Most of which I have already known for a while, and what I was worried over didn't appear much (て form, time), and the exam itself didn't last long, unlike my Year 9 one.

And even though sensei had straight away told me that I got an A, I was still worried over my results. Which didn't make that much sense. Maybe it was because my Reading Exam still needs marking. But then again, the Reading Exam was easy as well...
Usually when I finish an exam, I'd feel relieved that I'd finally finished it, with few difficulties. Or if it was lots of difficulties, I wouldn't worry about it too much since there wasn't anything I could do to change my results no longer.
But somehow, today, the feeling lingered. The worry didn't lift off. I can still feel it now.
Maybe it's because the draft for my English assignment is due this Friday and I haven't even started yet. I have to write a prologue or epilogue for To Kill A Mockingbird. But I have no idea what to write about. However it's only 400-800 words, so I'll be able to finish it in one day.
Or it could be the Maths exam. But then that's also strange. Never in my life have I ever felt this worried over a Maths exam. Simply because Maths is easy, and I've always been confident enough that I was sure I'd get at least a B...
Or maybe with the Science, SOSE and Italian assignments?
Science is a presentation, pairing up with a classmate to present to the class about climate change, or other such related topics.
SOSE is another presentation, about diseases.
And Italian is a brochure about the region in which we are in - I have to advertise it. Something I find myself stuck on... I don't go out, I don't know any restaurants, I feel extremely forced having to praise Australia so much...

But now that I've finished the exam that had been worrying me the most, I can change my focus into the other assignments and in catching up, since I'm still like, 10 weeks behind everyone else in the Year 10 class... =="

Oh, but wait! There's also somewhat good news! I may be able to take Economics next semester! :D My other friend and I were just saying how we'd wished that we get to do Economics in Year 10 Sem 2, but it wasn't in the list, so we thought our hopes were lost...
But when we went onto the computers for [fake, preparatory, just to see] Subjects Selection, Economics was one of the subjects we could do! ><
...but then again, if not enough people pick the subject, there won't be a class.... I don't think there will be that many people, personally. I mean, not many actually knows what Economics is, do they?? (I have had a couple of people asking what it is once I'd mentioned it before, you see.)

So, yeah, that can, once again, lead to total disappointment. Yes, so logically speaking, it wouldn't come true anyway. I should actually forget about that chance, now...

Also, today, I'd went to school with "be silent" in mind.
I was pretty silent, most of the time. ...And when I actually spoke to my friend in full sentences, I regretted them. ...so next time, tomorrow maybe, I should stick to the rules. :D
