And so it begins...

So, my first ever exams as a college student...

Wow, I forgot how much I hate exams! You'd think after last year I'd be used to exam pressure, but the summer and this entire semester kinda made me switch my brain off, so suddenly having to WORK was- I'm not gonna lie- Awful!

Anyone who knows me knows that I can get quite stressed. Suddenly I was looking back over the semester going 'wow I did like nothing', and worrying about failing... Naturally this got on the nerves of non first year people I know, such as my darling sibling, because she is in her final year and therefore needs really high grades and I just need to pass. Anyone with a sense of self preservation would have shut up about it, so naturally I kept going... Ha I kid, sort of...

So I had my first two exams today, the ones I was most worried about so I'm feeling pretty relaxed right now. Mainly because I nearly gave my self a stress-induced heart attack this morning so I think I've used up my stress quota for the day... I genuinely believe that I am the ONLY person in the world who could manage to loose their student card (which was IN THEIR HAND) over the course of a 30 second walk... I nearly cried when I realised...

On the plus side, my other exam was totally less stressful after all that, and luckily some good samritan handed in my card... If I knew who they were I'd buy them a drink, I owe them big time!

Another high point to my day- I had a four hour break that was NOT worth going home for on the basis I'd have to leave like an hour after I got home, so I decided to be a loving friend and distract Elyse from studying so we could have lunch. We had philedelphia on bread and coke... then Elyse made me watch some show which SHOWED PEOPLE BEING OPERATED ON, which is not good after just eating...

I'm just counting down to Monday, because then it is over and I am FREE! I also get to meet Elyse's family that day which I am very excited about, though I'll be in the middle of cramming like mad for my last exam so hopefully I'll manage to seem well adjusted and normal as opposed to a big ball of stress! But either way, it'll be over and I'll be officially on christmas holidays.. Excitement!

Your stress angers me.

I know, that is why when I saw you two seconds after I lost my card I decided not to go over and say hi, on the basis I would start crying and you would 'do something more violent then push me down stairs'

Also i figured you wouldn't want to deal with a stressed first year 5 mins before ur exam.
