The Joys of University

Hey all,

How are you all doing? I hope you are doing better than me to be completely honest.

As I've mentioned in the past posts (at least I'm fairly certain that I have), I'm in University right now and this week is exam week. All of the finals happening all at once. Gotta love it, right? Wrong. Not only is this time of year incredibly stressful, but I need to get ready to work a lot more if I'm going to be able to afford to go to school again in the fall.

Today, which is a Saturday, just in case you were wondering, I was supposed to have an exam at 9:00 in the morning. First of all, I'm pretty sure this is some form of unique torture that is tailored to me seeing as one of the only days of the week that I actually get to sleep in on is Saturdays. Second of all, I check the exam schedule, find the room and sit. And wait. And wait. And wait.

No one shows up. Absolutely no one. Not even my professor.

At the time that my exam is supposed to be starting, the entire room is empty except for me. I check my student email, but I find nothing. So I sent an email to my prof asking if there was an announcement of some sort that I missed because I don't want to miss my exam over an email that didn't make it to my inbox.

I basically tweeted out the meltdown that I was having (@The_Book_Tree) before deciding that having a panic attack in public at my Uni wasn't the right thing to do. I got on the next bus home, got inside and picked up a book to read and try to calm down. I'm still waiting to hear from my prof as I type right now, and its been nearly four hours since I sent the message. Obviously something must have happened, but why does this kind of stuff always happen to me?!

Well, enough of the pity party. Let's talk about happier things...

Like The Amazing Book is Not on Fire! I've been a fan of Dan and Phil for a long time now, but recently my love for them hit me again like a brick, so I went out and bought their book. I'm almost half way through it, and its definitely a fun book to read. If you're a fan of their videos then I would highly recommend it.

I think this is all I can really manage to type right now, so I'm going to go. I hope that any of you who are reading this who happen to be in Uni and are getting ready to take exams this month don't have to face any of the same troubles that I've had to go through today. I really, really don't recommend them. Its not good for my poor anxiety-ridden heart.

Ta-ta for now,
Helen.
