5 hours to spare.




I completed my written exam this morning and as you can imagine, I am pretty exhausted. I can't think anymore and am starting to get a headache. I ran out of food...ate all the salsa, blueberries, yogurt, shrimp, salmon...and I drank plenty of tea. I only had two cups of coffee surprisingly, but i never felt the need to crash either. Except around 4am each morning. I been going be strong the last few days and not stressing at all, but now I am feeling like i don't know what to do with myself. Wait...why am i still here. I still have 14 browser windows open, each with at least 10 tabs open to different resources. In addition i have stacks of printouts, overdue library books and i dried up two highlighters. And i managed to not run out of printer paper. My advice to anyone who is going to go through this process is to keep up with the reading...although, you are not going to know it all, you just need to know where to find the information. 2) be prepared physically and mentally. Get your meals ready, clothes, schedule etc. minimize the distractions and pace yourself. And of course don't forget to take a few breaks. I guess i didn't write enough during my exam cause i am still typing away. I wish this was my dissertation i was submitting!!! next year. But in the meantime. W.P.B. let me know if you need to know what that means.
