Mild pre-exams crisis

[annabtg]

Okay, so Botany went well, despite the fact that I didn't get a wink of sleep last night - too anxious, plus other stuff going on... But I discovered I wasn't the only sleepless one when I got to school. :p

Don't think I stayed up studying, though. I was either online or trying to sleep and failing. I only took another look at my book this morning on the train to school.

I've been going through crazy psychological ups and downs lately. There are moments when all I want to do is curl in my bed, go to sleep and wake up when the exam period will be over. THIS is the cause of everything, I say. Joy of joys, it starts on Thursday, 14 and I still haven't even made up my mind about which tests to take :S (Well, I know more or less but there are a couple of subjects I'm still hazy about.)

It's gonna be something like 8 tests. Curse these sit-ins, messing the exam periods up.

Also, I've started to feel a bit uncomofortable around my friends, because it feels like all I do is whine lately and I'm afraid they'll get sick of me. Especially those who have been my shelters during the biggest depression crises. They insist, of course, that I'm not being a burden and that they're happy to listen to me and help me through this, but still.

I'm such a drama queen.

See ya,
Anna.

Oooh, Anna, I'm with you! I wish you good luck for your further exams! *fingers crossed*
And I can so relate with how you're feeling. There are preliminary (kind of bachelor) exams ahead and as soon as they’re over, I’ll need a break from all my fellow students / friends, just to make sure we won’t kill each other with our lamenting and self-pity.
So, all the best to you!

See ya,
Anna.

yeah i so know how the friends thing is! mine are great and say the exact same thing, too, that it's not a burden, it's what friends are for.

I have to ditto the "that's what friends are for" thing. Really. I'm one to be paranoid myself, but I honestly don't mind hearing friends whine or vent or cry. Misery loves company, eh? ;) Well, not that exactly. It's more that it's a way for us to bond, especially for those of us who don't have RL connections.

Take care!! (((hugs)))

Trust me, I whine enough for anyone, and I know the feeling of thinking everyone's had enough of me, lol. Don't worry about it--you really don't bother me as much as you bother yourself, trust me. Whine all you want. What are friends for? *g*

Best of luck on the rest of 'em. And you get to *pick* which tests you take? How does *that* work?

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks for that!

It's up to us in which exam period to take each exam we have pending. As in - I currently have ten exams pending, 4 from the previous semester and 6 from this one. I can take any number of them I want right now and leave the rest for September, or next winter, or next spring, or whenever. But I can't get my degree unless I pass all of them, obviously. :p

It used to be that there was no time limit, too. Like, I could wait ten or twenty years until I decided to pass the exams and get my degree. :p But the new bill about universities gives an upper limit, depending on how many years of studies the school's curriculum predicts. It was one of the things the students were protesting about during the sit-ins. But the freedom of when to take each exam remains.

See ya,
Anna.

There. Feel better now?

Seriously, that's what friends are for. If you don't feel comfortable whining at them when your life gets you down, how are they supposed to come to you when they hit the rough patches?

Good luck with the tests and stuff. Feel better. And here's hoping that (unlike in Nottingham), the ups will outnumber the downs.

LOL! where do i have to go to get one of those? *g*

[pgwfolc.livejournal.com]

What? You didn't get one free with your LJ? Huh.

Well, you can apply to the Whiner's Accreditation Administration Headquarters (WAAH), but you'd have to decide on a name first.

Paul! *hugs* You're such a sweetheart. This card really amused me. :D

Thanks for the good wishes! :)

See ya,
Anna.

last paragraph. TOTALLY with you. in spite of the fact that i've done the same for them many a time and not minded in the least. (feels like the rules are different when it's for yourself, doesnt it?)

*hugs* if you need a change of listeners or anything else i can do from so far away, i am here.

Thank you so much, Clarwyn! *hugs back*

See ya,
Anna.
