Somersaults

My stomach is doing some serious summersaults. Why and when on earth did I think it would be a brilliant idea to do an MBA? I'm so math challenged it would almost be funny if I didn't have to pass some serious exams to pass the course. And the worst is Finance. I enjoy the Finance lectures, it's just that when it comes to the exam, I have no idea what I'm doing or where to start. I get the explanations, but there's no way on earth I can figure out what I need to do if I don't have the answers right in front of me. Heck, even with the answers (I'm practising last years' exams) it sometimes takes forever to figure out where the h*ll this answer comes from. [big sigh].
OK, it's not that bad. I have to tell myself it's not that bad. Other people can do this. So I can do it. And I don't want to be a banker, so I don't need to be an expert. Just pass the exam. I can do it.

My best wishes go out to those R2 applicants who got their LBS interview interview invite: go knock 'em dead! (on second thought, don't take that too literally...). To those who didn't get the interview: all things happen for a reason, maybe you're destined for bigger and better things!

OK, enough procrastination, I figure I can squeeze in one more mock-exam question (although not sure about an answer) before I head off to my very first Pilates class ever. Another tick off my 1001 things I want to do before I die list. And hopefully it'll calm me down and get me in the right, relaxed frame of mind for the exams tomorrow. In all my finance prep, I'm completely ignoring the Operations and Technology Management midterm tomorrow afternoon. For now. I'll start on that tonight. Promise.

[it's now 3 hours later, post-Pilates, post-lunch and post-good-chat-with-friend and I'm feeling more relaxed. I've kickstarted my Finance exam prep again, and I actually got the answer to a practice examquestion right!]
