-Study Day

Got up early, got a good breakfast in me and LOTS OF COFFEE!!!! Today is a study day. I'm forgoing training this morning so I can concentrate (read CRAM) for my Public Organizational Change class tonight. We were given 6 questions to study...concepts really. Of those six, the professor will randomly pick 4, then we can pick and choose 3 or those four to answer on the final. The questions cover every topic covered so far. I had to giggle to myself when someone raised their hand and asked the prof. what specific things we should be concentrating on for the final. When Dr. D. said "That's easy...everything." I about pissed my pants. At this level (this is an upper level, graduate class) I woulda thought that answer was obvious. Oh well, I guess somebody had to ask. So, I'll have my head pressed firmly into my notes all day. I can't wait until this test is over. Getting ready for tests always makes me edgy. Taking them is like getting into a fight. You're no longer thinking about all the crap you should be ready for, all the things that can go wrong. You're DOING. Doing is good. You can just rely on your preparation. There's no thinking involved, everything is already thought out (for me anyway). It's a release. I just hope I do well. Maybe instead of blogging about it I should go ahead and start cramming, lol.

Another reason I want this test to be over is because Ai said she'd go to Burger King with me afterward. Now, I'm not going to rush the test just to go to dinner, but it's something to look forward to. They have Micky D's in Japan, but not Burger King, so she's been wanting to go to one and was disappointed that the one on campus is closed for the summer. I told her when I finished my test I'd take her to one off campus as a treat. She's was all kinds of excited. It's a shame she's only going to be here for 2 more months.
