Whining

[studyhard]

Okay, okay, I'm just sniveling, but I figured you all could pat me on the head and cheer me up maybe.

Actually, I'm not un-cheered, I'm just TIRED. I am ALMOST DONE....finished my TESC course yesterday and have my very last DSST on Tuesday. I can't wait.

But meanwhile, I'm up to my ears studying for it. It's "Western Europe Since 1945," which is kind of a lot to keep track of. And there's no IC for it, sniff! Between now and Tuesday morning I still need to read about 300 pages from "Postwar" (teeny tiny print), making my own flashcards all the while, review my flashcards over and over (I've got about 75 so far) and do a bunch of wikipedia reading on stuff I'm fuzzy on.

I'm tired. My brain doesn't want to think. I'm a little stressed, as this test is the last one I need for my major. Not even chocolate helps. My eyes are tired and burning and one of them is literally twitching.

I'm ready for this to be OVER.

So hey, tell me to take an eye break or something.

:eek: If chocolate is not fixing the problem then it sure sounds like time for a break - go for a walk - listen to some music - meditate!

And after you've done that check out this resource to see if someone has already made some of the flashcards you are looking for:

history Flashcards

Course....if it was me..I'd go get a glass of wine and sit on the porch with Vivaldi's Four Seasons blaring (it's educational for the neighbors!) and close my eyes!

Cheers!

Ok- here's my kick in the butt for you. If you DON'T pass, you'll have to start all over with something else :eek: Hey, sometimes pressure works

Yeah, I know. That's what's scaring me. If I flunk this, it means taking a 3-month TESC course instead..........OH NOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hence the grind.

knucyt, thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

Like i said earlier. If you look at 300 pages of teeny, tiny print of course your brain is saying NO WAY. If you just tell yourself 1 more chapter then I can have a piece of chocolate and listen to music for 15 min. you are making it attainable.

Of course I can talk now. I just spent 2 glorious hours working in the garden

Looking at your signature I am sure you will get this done and pass with ease. Youare a well motivated and highly intelligent individual. (OK that was your pat on the head)

Now get your butt back to work we all want to see you post a loud yahoo on Tuesday

I know what you mean. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, even though it means scarificing time outdoors and sleep. I'm pretty sure you don't really want to take another course. Keep on going, you're almost there. Once you're finished, we can go to TJ! Party!
