The mind

The mind is amazing. It doesn't tell you whether you remember something or not... until the very last minute when a question is presented in front of you and you curse yourself for not remembering the exact words for it.

Tomorrow is D-Day for me. Gambate!

Status update

I've been studying in the office till 10 - 11 o'clock everyday for the past 2 weeks. Right now my brain is so fried.

What do you do when your brain tells you to stop and take a nap?

I tell you what you do. You tell that weak mind of yours to suck it up and continue on studying cause only losers quit.

I'd rather put in hundreds and hundreds of hours into this exam and fail... than to put mediocre hours (200 hours is mediocre) and fail. At least I'll know I gave it everything I got.

Of course if I pass I'm going to buy myself something expensive of which I will regret the first two days of purchasing the item but will feel non of that regret later on.
