I have been so out of it the past couple of days. Post exam fatigue.
( girly stuff be warned )
Just want to stay in bed but need to get up and get it together as have my first shift back at work today 5-9. Tomorrow I work 3-7 so alas I shall not be watching Dr Who then.
Anyways trying to spend minimal time on the laptop at the moment so it will hold together as long as possible so it is back to the large pile of books I have awaiting.
Toodles.

I am so wiped this afternoon. My arms hurt so much from wii fit its quite funny but am kackered.
I found a pool for £3 and finally brought some black shoes for work. Slightly miffed that I had to pay £13 for them but I needed ones that would not fall off every ten seconds.
Back to watching stargate now.

So yesterday my disc drive stopped working completely. Today it appears to be back if still very clanky.
Fingers crossed it stays working for a while.
Have another headache this morning and it is either allergies (i got them last summer (headaches that is)) or to do with the hormone implant which also causes headaches. As my eyes are incredibly itchy and my nose is blocked I am going with the first one.
Got to go to town today and will be setting off after brekkie. I am on the hunt for shoes for work, a paddling pool, and something for Pip's birthday.

Two hours of wii fit today but seeing that other than that I have mostly been asleep today that is probably a good thing.

Last exam was 3 hours and my answer to the question for hour three was shit but right now all that matters to me is that it is over and I can go play computer games and read books without feeling bad.

Today I have the exam from hell that I have no idea how to go about passing. It starts in 3 hours so I am up at 6am to try and get some more stuff crammed into my brain to prevent myself bursting into tears when I look at the paper. I know some stuff for this one just not enough. The past paper questions have been so specific that even if you know a topic chances are the question will fuck you up. Also everything has to be done through a comparison of three west european countires and err. I have pretty much no idea about anything other than vaugearies of them.
Anyway so it is going to be a bad morning followed by an afternoon cramming for my USA paper which I am less worried about.
5 Hours of exams to go and counting.

Exam 3/5 this afternoon.
Really do not want this one. Or the next. They are my worst ones.
Today is Contemporary International Relations Theory.
Cannot wait for it to be over and then only have 4 more days of Uni work before I can be a lazy cow for a few days.
Wii Fit injuries have now recovered and am back to the Wii training. Yay.
Thats all. Hope everyone is OK.

- afternoon exams. I prefer to have them over.
- when it is sunny during my exams. It should be raining so I don't want to sit in the sun and so I do not boil to death in exam halls.
Yeah exam today. Strategic studies today. really not sure how confident I am about this.
I know I know stuff but if my brain leaves me hanging like it did yesterday it could all go horribly wrong.
One week till my first freee day in a long time. Bring it on.
Good luck to everyone else with exams. :)

I have no earthly idea how that went. I could not answer most of the questions and made up most of what I wrote through deduction of the stuff I did know. I know that I got some of the treaty stuff wrong for a fact as I could not remeber it.
Also could not remember so much about the commission so had to miss that one out leaving my with very little clue about anything. Nontheless I made it through the exam and wrote some stuff so heres to hoping.
Taking a break till two before I get cracking on my exam tomorrow afternoon. *sighs*

Well it is here at last. After a month of revision the exam week has done a nasty creeping thing on me.
Today is politics of the european union and I am not entirely sure how I feel about it yet. I think it really could depend on the types of questions that I get.
I am still in some kind of pain but it is slowly beginning to dissapate. Woot!
Will probably post again after the exam to let you know how badly it went.

OK so maybe, just maybe, spending an hour on wii fit yesterday was a bad idea. Like really bad.
I am in so much muscle pain today I could barely get out of bed.
My thighs and my stomach muscles are agonising. So whilst this is funny in some respects it is not when I sneeze.
I am blaming it on all the yoga. *sighs* Oh well, I was expecting the third day to be painful.
My first exam is tomorrow. *worries* It be on the EU, so stuff like the EP, Councils, Commission, legislative process, frameworks and the ECJ. Yeah I pretty much need to do some panic revision on that today. First I will do an hour of strategic studies though as the exam for that is on Wednesday. That is stuff like Clausewitz, nuclear deterrance, Security Studies, International Law, Causes of War and Terrorsim.
Oh, Happy Birthday ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fran06
Off to work now.

Hello.
Time for an update methinks.
Not much to report as exams start in t-minus 3 days so it has mostly been resigned to revision.
Work was OK albiet still knackering.
Ian brought Wii Fit which is highly amusing! Also knackering and balance is not so much my issue as coordination. I like the jogging stuff although it left me fried!
Anyways back to the sitting on my butt part of my life know.
Hope everyone is ok.

OK so apparently spending four hours tidying up ladies clothes makes me feel pain everywhere.
Seriously even my butt hurts.
But it was weirdly soothing spending that long doing something so boring, at least until the pain started. Made me realise that I had not spent four hours on my feet in a long time.
So yeah my next shift is friday night when I hope to be till trained and then I am off for four shifts.
Overall I liked it and the people were relatively nice. If only I could soothe the aches now.
Thanks for the wellwishes too people. :)

Have pretty much had a brain melt this morning. So I am sat in the garden on a blanket in the sun with a girly romance novel trying to recoperate enough to start my last week of revision tomorrow.
Only problem is I feel really guilty for taking time out but I know that I need to or I am not going to make it through the next 2 and a half weeks.
Had my induction at work yesterday which was pretty pointless and boring. But I get 20% of at Matalan in three months (after probabtion is up) so that is cool as the clothes are pretty cheap there. My hours are going to be 5-9 Monday and Friday and 3-7 on Saturdays (so will be missing the end of the season of Who alas by a few hours.) Also possiblily for overtime and they are letting me work Monday and Friday this week before taking 4 shifts off for my exams with no quibbling about it which really bodes well if I have issues with my shifts in the fall. We also get like 2 pairs of trousers and 3 tops if working part time so I will not have to rush washing. We also get the standard fleece. The trousers are actually boot cut so they won't look that bad like some work trousers do (cough cough sainsbury's). Only annoyenece is that I am not allowed to wear my all blacks so I am going to see if I can get a really cheap pair of black slip ons in ASDA as working in summer in Docs is too much for my feet to take.
But yeah I get till trained on Monday and am looking forward to it.
So yeah brain death, collapsing on a blanket and going to ASDA. That be my day today. I am hoping to be more commenty on peoples jornals after my exams it really is a case of crunch time and I need to concentrate (when I am able to)
Back to the cheesy romance now.

I have finally finished watching all of the West Wing.
It has made me think, laugh and cry over the past four months but it has still not finished astounding me with its brilliance.
Bartlet for America.
Let the re-watching commence.

Feeling much better this morning! ie. i have stopped crying so yay!
West Wing season 7 arrived so I am sitting down with Strategic Studies revision and the first four episodes to get excited over. Watched the first half of the episode with Pip earlier and LMAO at it. Is the baby photogenic cracked me up and I am still giggling mancially about it so thats that.
Feeling a little more optimistic about getting my mac soon as there is currently a free printer/scanner offer so I am going to try and get that. May mean I have to use some of my savings and just put it back in when I get it but I would like to be able to get used to a mac over the summer without trying to figure it out during term time. Pip is going to give me software so I don't have to worry about paying for that although at some point I am going to have to sit down with a photoshop guide of some description and figure it out.
Anyway enough random and pointless dreaming.

I can't stop crying.
And for the most part I have no idea why I am crying.
This is stupid.
EDIT: Have stopped with the blubbering. Feel like pretty much anything will set me off. Dinner and bed I think.
Sorry for all the emo.
