The Waiting Game...for the last time?
In 2 hours from now, I'll know one way or the other whether I passed the final accounting exam or not. I wish I could just skip all of today and just go straight to tomorrow and Sunday - I've got plans to see friends and that's awesome. I often find weekends where I just sit around a lot a bit of a waste of available time, you know?
Anyway, I keep saying I'm happier the way it is right now - a perpetual state of not-knowing. At least for the next 2 hours. I've been equating it to a television show that gets cancelled before its finale -- something I should know a bit about by now, I think. But anyway, the gist is that you won't ever know what the final outcome was; you'll just remember the good times that preceded it. Sure, you might be a little resentful about investing all that time and energy into that show, but in the long-run you will accept that there will never be a canon answer to your questions [unless they make follow-up comics or movies], and this leaves you free to make your own theories and conclusions.
As Isolde shrewdly pointed out, however, this exam result differs from a cancelled TV show in at least one way -- I DO have to know eventually whether I've passed or not, 'cause it would suck if I was supposed to retake the exam next year and didn't even know I had to. Damn.
My fun weekend plans that I prefer to think about instead are as follows --
Saturday: The One of a Kind Show with Izzy and Kat and another of Kat's friends, where we're pretty sure Kat is gonna die and go to craft and stationery heaven; this is followed by my company Christmas winter party, to which just Iz will be coming with me, because the Barenaked Ladies are gonna be there and they're her favorite group. I don't know how my company managed to get BNL to play our company party, really, but...well, there you go!
Sunday: Plans with my study buddy Michelle - hopefully we'll still be up for getting together, depending how today's results go. I think we've decided we'll do something regardless of today's outcome.... Plan is to do a bit of Christmas shopping and probably see a movie (Enchanted, most likely) and then play my new XBox 360 games. Should be fun. DESPITE today.
Anyway, that's all that's up for the moment. If I pass the exam I'm going back to the office and then Hard Rock Café for celebrations. And if not...well, then I'll just be here. Trying not to mope. I look forward to it.
