After filling the last five months with practically nothing but tutorials and practice exams (excluding that two week holidays I took to go back to Adelaide in which I took my first solo flight), I finally attended the last tutorial in my program yesterday. Between now and Monday, I'm left with trying to contain my stress levels and counting the minutes until the University entrance exams , THE exams that will quite literally change my life - which also happens to coincides with my 18th birthday. Big whoop.
This anticipation is killing me.
On one hand I really wish time would speed up and the exams should just happen right now so I can stop stressing. However on the other hand, I wish the exams would be months and months away so I can prepare better for it. Oh the dilemmas of being a student - it never goes away.
But then yesterday morning the postman rang my doorbell and handed me my orders from ASOS, and I took it as a sign. I'm seeing it as a reminder from the Lord Almighty saying something like, 'Ira, don't stress too much. Here's a little something to lift your mood. See it as an early birthday present from yourself. Or a "congratulations on making it this far" gift - whatever, you're the one who paid for it.' (I doubt God would say 'whatever' but - whatevs.)

So I spent the rest of the day forgetting about the exams by hanging out with a friend, in which we got crazy at a bookstore, took half an hour to decide where to eat (and another half an hour to decide what to eat from the menu), went grocery shopping and basically talked and talked about random what-so-evers. It was fun. Like, really fun.
