Feb. 19th, 2014 09:25 pmI'm sooo tired. And it's not even ten. But tomorrow morning I have to get up at five because I'm doing a debating workshop at a school that's a long drive away in the morning. The workshop will be fine, but I still have to look at the slides today, don't wanna.
So, the test today! I arrived at the driving school around 14:30, because I couldn't persuade myself to leave the house earlier and also because I thought I had more than enough time until 18:30. It went fine, after a while I consistently got 90% or more on the test simulations, so I thought I'd be finished soon! And I went to tell the boss that I wanted to do the pre-exam.
He said fine, and just in case, it's the basic and the B module, good luck.
SHIT.
For the past three weeks - or ever - I only studied the basic module because for some stupid reason I thought B was for motorcycles. I had one and a half hours to study an entire module.
I was freaking out. A lot.
But I started studying, because why not? I also cursed a lot because I knew I would never be able to make it.
So then the girl next to me asked me what I was doing, and when I explained it to her (not exactly in a calm voice) she said well, nobody checks here anyway, she's quite good with the B module, she'll help me do the pre-exam and I can just study B until next week.
I wanted to hug her. And buy her ice cream. Especially after I (we) got over 90% on the combined pre-exam.
Done! I was so relieved I was shaking again.
Only then the boss said I have to call very early in the morning tomorrow and then it's still not sure if I can do it next week, because of some bureaucratic bullshit. And also they'll check if my doctor's examination is recent enough, which now that I'm thinking about it I'm pretty sure it isn't? (Not sure why that'd be relevant for the theory exam, but eh, bureaucracy -.-)
So it's very likely that I'll have to repeat some of the theory classes, I don't know yet how many, because it'll be over one and a half years since I took them. ARGH. So annoying.
But at least I did the pre-exam! Not completely on my own, but I studied a lot and I did the best I could. That's worth something.
(Great example from my mom of how not to talk to me when my nerves are already shot to hell: "You got 100% on the basic part of the test? Didn't you only have 77% yesterday? Wow! Why only now and not sooner?" I got so angry I switched to English, but I managed not to swear at her.)
I've calmed down a bit watching the last period of the hockey quarterfinals (Latvia was so good!) and then reading the articles about how Russia lost (-.-) to Finland (\o/), so the semis are Finland-Sweden and Canada-USA, it'll be brutal. I'm rooting for USA-Finland-Canada. Sorry Sweden, but there are none of my favorite players on your team. Semis are on Friday (curling finals are tomorrow and Friday, maybe I'll manage to watch a bit), the final is on Sunday. Really looking forward to it.
