a week!

One week from today! 7 days and only 6 days left of studying! Ahh...I can't wait. The end is in sight.
This morning we made our test run. My friend Siraj (whose taking the test at the same time and same place) and I are driving to the testing center to make sure we know the way have a feel for traffic, etc. Thankfully he's driving. I already have the worst sense of direction known to man and everyday I lose a little bit more of my common sense. So it's my job to give Siraj his wake up call and it's his job to get me there.
We made it to the testing center! It's a nice little place 8 computers and 8 little lockers to put our stuff in. Small lockers I need to decrease the size of my purse before going, but at least I figured it out now. I get a good vibe from the testing center - it'll be a good place to take the exam.

A wake up call. Yesterday, I received an email from a friend that really hit home. It served as a reality check.

I hope that you will find peace of mind throughout all of this. Don't feel guilty if you need to chill. You are operating at full capacity and it's necessary to turn off the machine so it dosent over heat. Also, you can readjust any of the nuts and bolts that might be loose. Not saying you're going crazy, just trying to prevent it. I feel sad that you are experiencing this much pressure. I don't think its supposed to be this way. Even though you choose this it dosent have to be this exhausting. Remember: doing your best means knowing when to chill.

Anyway, I want you to take care, continue to learn, and try to enjoy breathing. Take a walk without golgan, cook without buzzwords, or watch TV without doing anything else!
