Forcing Down Time
This morning I wrote what could turn out to be my worst exam to date.
I studied 11 hours in total for this Financial Management exam. It doesn't seem to have done me much good.
We went in, sat down and the exam started. By question 3 I was guessing. 51 multiple questions in all. At the 15 minutes out mark, I was only at question 35. I skipped to some of the later questions dealing with equations and worked on those, and then time was up. That was it. How can anyone rightfully expect student to have 1 minute per question when you have to do calculations for most of the questions!?!? It's utterly ridiculous!!!
So, I am reasonably confident I failed. Which leaves me wondering what happens if I actually fail this class. Will I need to do an evening class next term to make it up?
Needless to say - afterwards I was numb from the stress and frustration.
I worked hard all day on other courses, and try my best not think about this slaughter. And I'm going to try to just move on - but its tough.
When I finally got home tonight (long day) I just couldn't face doing more work. So, I decided to take a little forced down time. I curled up on my couch with tunes playing, rain pounding outside and a great brainless book in my lap. What Utter Luxury!!!!! It was just what the doctor ordered. And I've discovered the phenomena of "post novel bliss" - basically the warm satisfaction of sitting down and reading a novel straight through. Heaven!!
The book was called "The Undomestic Goddess" by Sophie Kinsella (a la Shopaholic books). Its about this high power lawyer who 'loses' her way, and ends up finding herself. True ChicLit, and perfect. I would highly recommend taking a night out like this every once and a while.
