Counting down to time zero
Who knew that you could feel incredibly bored and incredibly nervous at the same time?
I certainly didn't, until this week, anyway. Tomorrow is the day before my exam and that is terrifying. It would be really bad if I didn't pass the exam because everybody knows I'm writing it; you know? I have sacrificed a lot of holiday time to study this crap, and if even after all that (granted, there have been, as always, distractions, but that is not the point and I did try to be good), it doesn't pay off, it'll all have been for nothing, almost. Also, it doesn't help to have two accountants in my immediate family who think they are helping but in actuality are just making me feel worse. Everyone (family, friends) is telling me that I'll pass for sure, but I don't know where that certainty has come from. Mostly my fellow exam-writers know better; this isn't a sure thing for any of us, really, except the huge brainers.
So, to recap: very nervous, very bored, very tired. Arrgh. I am so watching a movie or seeing friends (assuming anyone's even around after the break is over) or something after this. Um, when I'm not at work, that is, 'cause we all have to go back to work the day after the exam. Boourns.
Arrgh, I don't have anything else to say. God I hate studying. I really miss having the time to properly lounge about with a good book and just read. Bah! 'Course, all this studying didn't stop me from reading stuff online during "study breaks" (which, I must admit, were more frequent than the actual studying on some days) and, um, rereading the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Other than that, though, I've tried to stay focused. It's nearly impossible for me, Juliet the Easily Distracted, but I haven't even played with my new Christmas gifts or anything even though I did assemble my Game of Life board and try out my DVDs to make sure they work!
Anyway, hope you all had a good New Year's and all that, and I really hope that this exam won't make me start off my year with a dismal disappointment.
