Yes, today was the day ... the first of three final exams for A-levels ... god, I have never been so afraid of something in my whole life!Okay, I am kind of a coward, since I apt to panic even before tests in minor subject ... but I guess if a test means so much for your future and stuff it would be unnatural if you were now worrying ... only that my concerns were not from this world ... I couldn't sleep the whole night long, my heart was beating so fast I thought I would just faint ... now I slightly know what a nervous breakdown could look like
... anyway in school, when we were give the text and the question sheets it wasn't that bad anymore ... suddenly I just realised that if I hade made it three years, I would be able to stand this last challenge also!And I did it
the text was okay, the quetions also and despite the fact that I wrote three whole pages commenting on whether I am optimistic regarding immigration, before I realised that the question had nothing to do with immigration but whether I am optimistic about the21th century (I nearly DIED when I realised that) but fortunately I had one hour left so I just wrote another comment ... and now I am home, on Monday is the nex exam and I am wondering if it's normal to be SO panic-stricken? I mean, it's a test, even if I fail the world is not going to end ... and plus, I can't stand that pressure anymore ... god, still thinking about what I wrote and whether that makes sense ... just want to forget everything about it ... but cannot ![]()

What are your English texts?
The good thing about Jan exams is we can always repeat them in the summer if we mess-up
the text in English was a short story by Roddy Doyle, about Irish history (easter rising etc.) but thank god, otherwise it would have been a magazine article about Bush

If so then I will be thinking of you Monday, since I have my German exam then.
