The Final Countdown

My exams begin tomorrow - all I can say is thank goodness. I am tired of spending my days desperately looking for excuses not to study. While I have become quite the expert, the whole shtick is getting a bit old. The biggest thing I have found to take time away from studying is eating - and today I have officially entered the world of bottomless-pit-eaters. And its not like I am noshing on fruits and vegetables either - today its been carmel popcorn, butter cookies and brownies. I think these exams are going to make me fat!

I did get my short run in today - only 20 minutes. For the first time, I forgot to start my watch and so I dont know my time or pace. I ran the same path as the other day when I had to do 20EZ, so it was 1.88 miles. I do think I ran it a bit faster, since this time I took Wrigley. It possible that I didnt run for 20 minutes total - but I was probabaly gone for 20 minutes. 1/2 way through the run we passed a leaking fire-hydrant, and Wrigley decided to lay down in the water and lick the hydrant. Since it was pretty hot out, and she was being a good sport by running with me, I let her enjoy her moment. Also, when we got home I turned on the sprinkler for her to play in (and we also had to play fetch for a while too!). This dog has it so good, she has no idea.

Exams
So my exams start at 10:30 tomorrow. There are thee of them, each lasting 1.5 hours. Since I am always late to everything, I need to leave the house really early tomorrow. My plan is to get on campus, grab a coffee, and just relax. That way, I (hopefully) can settle my nerves before doom strikes. I actually am not totally worried about tomorrow (which may be stupid). There are 2 exams I think that might be a bit challenging, and they are both on Thursday. The other 4 I feel that I am fairly comfortable with the material, and thus don't expect to be shocked by the exam questions. Obviously, this may blow up in my face...but I am hoping that I am right!
