standing in line.

The night before the exam was rather strange to me.

I tucked myself in pretty early after totally exhausting my fingers (and wrist - don't know why it still hurts even though it's been three years since I fractured it). I was pretty set on sleeping early for I knew I needed complete rest before heading to the battlefield the next morning.

Yet something felt quite odd. I couldn't put myself to sleep, but it wasn't the usual thoughts running through my head. None about him or about well, things. It wasn't nervousness either. I think after seven grades, the nervousness somewhat disappears.

But then I started thinking. You cram so much in that head of yours that the slightest bit of extra information could potentially make your head explode, splattering blood and brain matter all over the place. I kid you not. But at the same time, you still wonder if you've studied enough. If the last minute work paid off, if your marks could still be salvaged. Are you capable enough to pull through?

It was strange to feel stressed and relieved at the same time for I knew in less than twelve hours, it will all be over.

...hopefully.

The exam didn't turn out as bad as I was imagining it to be. There were a few slip-ups during my pieces but I'm happy with what I played and if all goes well, I'm done with the practical exams.

Spent the rest of yesterday with the ICPU gang (heh, and I'm not even from the same college!) helping Aqil with his campaign banners, posters and button badges. It's going to be awesome, baby! And I must say, the banner turned out pretty damn terrific (Jaws and I concluded that self praise was well deserved).

Today, however, was spent entirely at home. Skipped the outing with classmates and SAM LOCK (he's my lecturer, btw) to spend the day uploading pictures from ball onto Photobucket and scanning pictures for daddy dearest.

Something feels a little off today and I just can't put my finger on it. It's hard to explain since I'm not quite sure what could have caused it but I'm pretty some cookies would do me good.

Yes, I definitely need some milk and cookies.
