kabutar discussed the weather. Which reminded *me* about the weather.

We had our first real thunderstorm (that didn't include ice) of the season! Squeejoyraptureyayz! I missed most of it as we were in Q2Q, but found an opportunity to duck back out into it for a bit. *happyhappysighs* If the rain picks up again tonight, I may well end up on my porch to draw up my study notes!

partytodamascus helps keep me sane. *hugs tightly* She also provides sushi, which is delicious.

Alright.

Back at it!

Exhaustion has hit me like a bit of a brick wall and after an especially good episode of Dead Like Me and a good Harry Potter fanfic I keep reading snippets of here and there (Thanks for the link hibernator!), I am remarkably mellow. Maybe it's because my fiches are finally out of the way and if I look to my right, there's a whole swath of colouful study notes. I started studying early for this exam and that's quite remarkable. I haven't done that - and I mean really studied, not just pretended to - in years, not on my own. I've been all about the last minute shuffle. There's plenty more to cover tommorow, but it's nice to took at what I've got. I'm really liking this mind-mapping thing. I still have to study, it's not a magic "You know all instantly!", but it really seems to jive with my learning style :)

If I think too hard about the next little while, I start to freak out again, so I am trying to avoid that. I need rest. My body is being very clear on that and rest means emotional as well as physical. I am learning. Tommorow should be an easy-going day, devoted to finishing my exam notes (which is kind of fun since it involves colouring and crayons <3 and is ten times more interesting than simply re-writing them) and then quiet review. I may find time to glue together a paper outline for Wednesday. So hopefully! hopefully! this good mood will last through tommorow. I know I'll have some nerves spring up on me, but it's an exam. You're supposed to be a little nervous.

In the meantime, I am going to read a bit more fanfiction, keep making plans to see thecleric007 in a few week's time and keep chillaxing. Not worrying after weeks and weeks of it is a really nice change, even if it's only just a vacation.
