Exam in an hour!!!

I have the biggest exam of my life in less than an hour...
I'm too stressed to re read notes, I'm to stressed to do anything other than sit here and have a mini panic attack.

I wish I was prepared. I wish I stood a chance at passing.

This is going to be an epic fail.

Watch this space.

Exams and Loans

Wow, it really has been a while! I've missed out the whole of April, but i have had good reasons. I've been studying my butt off over Easter. Okay, thats a lie, but I have been studying more than normal. I've got 3 exams over the next month, all of which im un-prepared for.

I have my medicine module exam on the 9th of may, then a Chemistry exam on the 18th of May, finally i have my Biology exam on the 1st of June, then i'm all done for this year.

Then my plans after that are to stay at my uni halls, to make the most of them, after all, i am paying a ridiculous amount to live here. Then on the 20th June i move in to my amazing double room in our brand new 6 bedroom house. The house itself is 5 minutes walk from campus, and about 20mins walk to the hospital, im so lucky! I can't even explain how excited i am to move in :D Im sharing with my cousin and 4 other girls and its going to be great :) I've already picked out the curtains haha.

Anyway, this summer im after a job, to try and make a positive dent into my overdraft. The concept of an overdraft is an entirely new thing to me, i had to go to the bank last month and get one out of nessecity! Im already -£250, which is a hideous thought. Another hideous thought is that so far, im in approximately £10,000 debt. After just one year !!!! Its a hard life for a student. But the debt ends up getting so high that the numbers dont really mean anything anymore. The idea of £10,000 is just ludicrous to me. Its such a large amount of money that i just dont recognise it, i cant get my head around it so i just look at it as a figure not a real debt.

Another funny thing about debt is that the students here are almost in competition with eachother. We all face debt of some magnitude by coming to university, but those who have racked up more of it than others are looked at with some kind of hero worship. We brag about our debt, we go down the pub and collectively laugh off the seriousness of it and revel in eachother stories about how it all got so much!

Anyway, last month saw my 4 year anniversary with my boyfriend. We've been together now since I was 15 and he, 16. We didnt do anything special, just dinner and a movie. We cant really afford to do anything exciting. I cant really afford to do anything to be honest! We went and saw Fast and Furious Five... it was amazing! The best one of the series. If you go to see it, make sure you stay until after the credits. Theres a sneaky extra bit which sets up the next Fast and Furious film im sure they're making.

I need to get back to work... If only revising could be fun, then maybe i would spend less time procrastinating. My procrastination of this week has been the Vampire Diaries. I've sat and watched them all to date in order (obviously). And i have completely fallen in love with Damon Salvatore/Ian Somerhalder, who is ... well... WOW.

So anyway, off to the library.
FML.
