*waves feebly* Finally managed to get internet working, considering I forgot my laptop's cable thing (had to drive back) and then as I got here I realised that the internet cable was also missing, that wasn't a small task.

Am happy to say collections will all be tomorrow, and none on Sat, and by happy I mean really, really not.

I shouldn't be here, but then again where else do any of us go before exams? Also, it is the place where I can freely whine. So that's a warning, whining begins here, feel free to ignore this.

So 6 hours of exams tomorrow, second day of my deciding to come early for it hates me period, a splitting headache right now and the fact than *no one* believes me when I say I know nothing. I am not one of those people that say that and then do, my parents are convinced I will be fine, my friends are all yeah you'll get the top mark shut up now and I just want to cry. Yeah, okay I have very detailed notes which I made, but I don't *know* them, the notes being there doesn't exactly help me. I think I would be okay on the politics, as long as I make stuff up, but who knows. Logic is predictable, as far as the questions we will get goes but that doesn't make it easy and if we don't get last year's prelims as collections for economics I am screwed. I don't know the maths, I don't even know the actual economic theory. I think the paracetamol is working though, as headache is feeling a bit better.

I don't know whether to have a nap now or keep looking at past papers.

Apart from all that I am ecstatic to be back in Oxford, I love it here so much, I didn't realise quite how much I missed it.

The thing I've found with learning is, it percolates through your brain like a coffee machine you forgot you turned on.

What? It's true! Like today, I was still trying to decide what theory I was going to attempt to apply to my text about two hours before the exam began, and I was looking through Bakhtin's essay. I'd underlined a lot of stuff and wrote a few comments, but most of it was 'WTF?'. But there I was, reading through it again, and all the poststructuralist stuff just seemed to click, as if it was all I'd been thinking about over Xmas (AS IF!).

In conclusion: take a nap and don't worry nearly so much. You'll only make yourself ill.

I don't know if I know the stuff, but at least I am beyond the panic stage, right now there is an odd calm surrinding me. On the bright side, this time tomorrow it will all be in the past. :D

EXCELLENT ATTITUDE! (No, not sarcasm).

Heh, I love how you had to reassure me that, but yeah done now, did okay in Politics and Econ and appallingly in Logic, oh well.

Uh oh, massive good luck to you then!!!!

*crosses fingers*

Take a nap. Don't stress yourself. =)

Thank you! :D I tend to go all Hermione before exams, only wish my knowledge was half as much as her's.. :)

Good luck with your exams! :)

Thank you very much. :D

Your icon is so awesome, the blinking wins!

Are you on the Oxford University or Oxford Brookes, like me?

Oxford University, we should def meet up sometime!

Heya! *huggles* how were the exams from hell?
Heard, you did alright from your mum, but then again parents tend to make assumptions that aren't always close to reality, like at all!
So, let us know how things actually went, i hope economics didn't eat you alive!
Need to get some sleep now, working again tomorrow and need to look good for the customers! Also, made arrangements to go see brokeback mountain, after work! Its finally out!! GAAAH, can't wait, not so sure how people i'm with will react, i just hope i'm not the only one squeeing in the cinema!

night night

I think I did all right, well passed them, but you never know till you get them back and I've no idea when that would be, we'll see I suppose. In fact it was the Logic that was worse than the econ.

I went to bed at four yesterday and just got up! :D. I also found someone to see it with on Tue I think, will need to check times etc. There will be squeeing, also tears. Heh I left Wilde on my desk and people keep looking at it, I love their diff reactions, from I have to borrow this Jude Law looks amazing to I was watching this alone and then just as the gay sex scene began my mum walked in. Heee!

Have fun at work.
