emperor at 12:07am on 06/06/2003Well, that's all the revision I'm usefully going to get done before the first exams tommorow. There's a vast chunk of soft tissue surgery I haven't looked at, we didn't get lectured on/I failed to turn up, and I've probably never seen done in practice, but with a shade of luck that will only account for one question, which I can bin (I have to do 5 of 6). Some of the other material I looked at nearly a fortnight ago too.
The "you'll be fine / no-one ever fails finals" approach is actually rather stress-inducing: the feeling that no-one believes me when I say that I do feel that failing is a real possibility sucks. I think I am capable of passing, but it's not a foregone conclusion.
Still, anticipation is always sucky, and I expect I'll feel somewhat better once tommorow's papers are underway.
The plan is now to sleep muchly (I hope I've tired myself out enough with revision to sleep), and then not be online again until the evening.

Nothing ever is. The best I can do is wish you GOOD LUCK -- and hope that you feel physically fit/healthy/well/etc. while you're doing the exams so that you stand the best chance of doing justice to yourself intellectually.

*hugs* I'm sorry if I've come across as saying this, as it's not what I've meant at all. Simply that I (and others) have faith in you and believe that you'll do fine. Good luck, you deserve it, and see you soon.

As someone with a very real chance of failing, I know what you mean. All it takes is a bad day, a poorly worded question or two, and the marks start sliding away beneath your nose. And though it's unlikely you'll fail, it's still not nice to have everyone saying 'you'll be fine' the whole time.
Having said that, you probably will be fine.
God Bless.
