#student probs

Sometimes you just gotta say ‘fuck it’ and hit the submit button.

Soooooo turned out I had an exam yesterday I didn't know about 🙃 I was so lucky a friend texted me saying 'hey the translation doesn't look bad!' to which I replied 'erm what translation' and he proceeded to tell me our 24hr Spanish translation exam had been live for several hours already 😭 I did really well not to panic too much and to just get on with it though so I'm proud of myself for that! Super lucky that it was a translation exam too and not any other module that would have taken up the whole day. It was only 300 words so I finished it by early afternoon and handed it in but it was a bit of a shock 😂😂 Turns out the exam timetable I last looked at wasn't the finalised one so I was convinced my first exam was on the 27th. But I now know as well that my Catalan exam (which will take all day bc I haven't looked at any Catalan since uni closed in March bc I THOUGHT I could cram after handing in my essay due on the 27th)... is actually on the 26th. The day before I have to hand in this stupid essay that's taking over my life atm bc the lecturer is an extremely pedantic historian and I am a LANGUAGE STUDENT, not a history student and I'm only on this module bc another lecturer for the module I did want to study retired suddenly in December. So I'm already using Harvard referencing bc that's the only one I know confidently and he 'prefers Chicago' but I don' have TIME, JENS and I really don't want to have to ask for an extension for my essay bc I have other exams on the 27th and between then and mid-June. I'm also due on so I'm mega bloated, achey, extremely emotional and snacky all the time. It's just not what I need between now and next Wednesday 😂 So probably will just stick to my 10-20min intervals in the evening to cheer me up after sitting at my desk all day but today I'm staying in my pyjamas, eating as much chocolate as it takes to get some progress made on this fucking essay however terrible it turns out, and having a day off tracking food and working out. And I'm gonna enjoy it so much, I feel like my body has been screaming at me for a rest day but I've just been really needing the endorphins but tonight I'll cheer myself up with a long hot bath and a funny podcast instead. So much love to anyone else currently in the midst of a crazy exam season, double check your timetable and be kind to yourself !!!
