Under Pressure
I have been taking an online course in corporate finance for work for which the final exam is on Wednesday. I never used to get test anxiety, but lately I think I've been getting it, but subverting it so that little things send me into a panic (ie. the computer not working). Anyway, this is not that big of a test and I've heard it's super easy. So I'm pretty much acting like an asshole for no reason. As an actuary I have to take a series of exams that take at least five years to complete before I'm fully certified. Each exam usually takes at least 250 hours of studying and they happen twice a year, May and November. So in May is THE test. If I were to linearly graph my panic level for this exam and predict my panic for May, there should be blood shooting out of my eye sockets by then.
I drove into Seattle this evening to re-start my computer so I could get some work done tonight. For some reason it keeps crashing. I think it has something to do with the massive data sets I've been running through SAS programs. Anyhow, afterward I went to have a lager at a nearby brewery. In that hour the streets had gone from being completely bare and wet, to being covered in an inch of snow. Gah.
Sure was purty though.
