I am now officially a nervous wreck. High on caffeine and nicotine most of the time (which helps a lot) and totally jittery. The exams are driving me nuts...which nobody believes me because normally I do not mind speaking in front of people at all.

But put me in an oral exam situation and I am reduced to a quivering mass of fear with a black hole on top of my shoulders (not a pretty picture, I grant). And now I am in a state being frightened of fright...great.

So yesterday all I could do was take a hot bath which always soothes the nerves...soaking in the tub..imagining a better universe...

In this context, I am wondering: Is it a good idea to imagine a perfect universe where everything works out the way you want to, when you have to live in this one anyway? Will visualising good things make them come to pass, after all, or will it just leave you thoroughly depressed? Discuss.

I wish there was something to take my mind off things this weekend. Instead, everybody seems to be going to the Oktoberfest which I do not want to as that would seriously interfere with my study plans. Great!!
It just seems to be destined to be one of those out-of-body-experience-weekends...oh well...this too shall pass.

Thank you for your kind attention. I will now go immerse myself in a book and pretend I am working.
