I've learned several lessons this week.
1.) Just because you have new high heels that make nifty "clickety clackety" noises it does not necessarily mean that your entire office wants to hear you goose step about the linoleum.
2.) In addition to said heels, your coworkers also do not want to see you tap dancing away in the bathroom on the hard tile while going "bum ba dum!"
3.) Even though you study for a testing out exam to avoid taking a class, the day the test arrives you will forget everything you know and spend the remaining five hours until the exam scrambling to study more and frantically contemplating leaping off your balcony (four hours to go...oh god....EEEEeeeee).
4.) Just when you think you can declare yourself certifiably sane...something will always come along to prove you wrong.
5.) If you mail out your bills and try to make it a festive occassion ("Yippee! I've paid my bills! Yippee! I'm broke!") it doesn't make the pain go away. Instead people look at you very strangely at the mailbox.
6.) Blogging does not help one study when four hours are remaining to take a giant terrifying exam of which you cannot recall if you are prepared for any longer or not. The terms 'prokaryotes', 'xylem' and 'homeostatic mechanisms' are now becoming interchangeable and the balcony looks more promising by the second.
7.) ....EEEK!
UPDATE:I did it! I passed my first clep exam. I have successfully tested out of (not one!)
two biology courses with one fell swoop and only a few weeks of independent study. I just got 6 credit hours on my transcript for a one hour test.
HUZZAH!
