That's me, of course. So tomorrow is d-day, the big exam. I'm excited to get it over with but more than a bit apprehensive about how I'll do. I keep telling myself it doesn't matter, but that's only half a truth.It's a point of pride, I suppose to do well, though I'm not interested in pursuing this career path, so in the grander scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. Or so I tell myself.
What I'm more excited for is that all the pressure of studying up for this exam will be lifted, come tomorrow. That, and even more happily, I'm seeing a friend I haven't seen since March. So that means I'm that much closer to the big moving day. Though all the packing is a bit daunting. I suppose now is as good a time as any to say I'm moving out of my house to a new city. Next weekend. I'm quite excited, though a bit apprehensive about it. I mean, I've never lived on my own. So I just need to keep taking deep breaths and remind myself that this is something that everyone does. Everyone moves out eventually, it's one of those major life steps that so many people undertake that I shouldn't be freaked out, right? I mean, I have first and last month's rent lined up, and I'll be temping while looking for something permanent, so that'll cover expenses and I'll be saving up for October rent. I mean, it won't be easy, but it's something I need to do.
Anyhow, the final thing I'm excited about is salad. I've been thinking about how I can get my favorite salad of all time for lunch tomorrow before the exam. Mixed greens, blue cheese, avocado, red onions, walnuts, and croutons with a balsamic vinaigrette. Mmm. So tasty. I think I'm going to leave extra early to make time to get and eat that. So if I need to be at the test center by 11.30, I'll need 30 minutes to walk and find the building and get upstairs to the actual test site, 30 minutes to order and eat, and an hour for the bus.So I should leave at just about 9:30. Splendid.
Fingers crossed, I don't go down in a blaze of glory.
