Biggest annoyance to me is the idiots who continue at 40mph passed a school where the temporary limit is highlighted at 20mph !

Man is that ever true!

Buncha radical rebels!

In IL, everyone does 70 in a 55 on the interstate because there's a cop nearby. Otherwise it's 85 in the right lane and 55 in the left because no one in our state knows the difference between left and right. Ask Shel about the first time she saw a state trooper pass us while we were doing 75; the look on her face was priceless. I personally try for 78 as a nice balance between getting there in a reasonable amount of time and road-rage. Then again there's always the jackass who has their cruise control set 1 MPH slower than yours...

But that means they are invisible (everybody knows Ninjas are invisible). So they practically aren't here...

Three days to a big exam. I feel almost ready, but I hate these last days full of rereading things you have already learned and wondering if you actually need it (of course you do, but only 5-10% of it all, and memorizing the rest 90-95% is making me crazy).
And I'm so nervous, I can't sleep more than 6,5-7,5 hours at night. Normally I have no problems sleeping 12+ hours.
Did I mentioned the"being hungry but feeling too sick to eat" feeling mixed with anxiety? Problem is, if I counter it with something, I get sleepy - not very good condition to study.
But, only 5 days left. Then it will be all over, at least for the next 1-2 months.

P.S. Now that i wrote it down, I do feel a little bit better.

Is it too early for the good luck wishes ?

I'm sure you won't need it, but good luck anyway.

Let us know how it went in a few days.

Stay cool. Plan your study time and prepare as best you can. You'll do fine if you do.

Good luck!! I'm sure you'll do well!

At the risk of being obtuse - what is the test you're taking?
