Ah, yes, the blog. I keep forgetting about this, but then I suddenly need a place to rant or get rid of some random thoughts that keep me from concentrating on more important things... and that's when I come back here. Not that random thoughts are unimportant, but they don't further my academic career very much, as opposed to, let's say, studying. And random thoughts happen to be the perfect concentration prohibiters. (Or is it prohibitors? Is that even a word? My mind has gone fuzzy with all the Latin vocabulary I've been forcing into it as of late.)
Yes, so, you might have noticed an undercurrent theme to this post. Yes, it is studying. Got my Latin exam tomorrow, and I'm actually so nervous that I'm feeling slightly sick. Never had this before. It is an all new (and unpleasant) experience. In fact, I should be cramming some more information into my head right now, but I just need a break. I need to breathe, walk around a bit, look out the window... and then battle on!
I am a rather ambitious person, and I expect a lot of myself, which leads to a lot of pressure. It's not exactly good for my body, apparently, because I've been battling with a sore throats and headaches, and now nervousness/sickness. But the headaches were probably due to a lack of sleep. (I almost wrote "sleep of lack" here. Which sort of proves that my brain has definitely reached "mildly clouded" on a scale from "clear" to "fuzzy".)
Yeah, just ranting. I don't like exams. I become a wreck before exams. I usually pass them without too many problems, but I just get nervous. Not during the exam, but before. During the exam, I usually enter a stage of odd calm and extreme concentration. (I'm not so sure that the noun "concentration" can be described with the adjective "extreme" right now...)
This post will take no end if I don't forcibly end it. I could keep on ranting and talking in circles and writing phrases that I'm not sure are correct English and then wonder out loud (or, well, in writing) whether they work or not. So I'm gonna end this forcibly.
(As in now, Marlin!)
(Okay, I'm going.)
