Stress-B-Gone

Filed under Friends, My Future, Tests Suck //

So today I had my Accounting test, and I took off half of my work day just to go and talk to the instructor and bombard her with about a billion questions about the test.

Needless to say, I think I passed. All in all is was okay. Not exceedingly good, not incredibly bad, but OK. Most of the true/false questions I thought were really easy - kind of overly easy, but I tried not to think into them too much and hoped for the best.

Then the multiple choice I know I blew on some of those - I remember one in particular about Accrued Assets not accounted for in the adjusting entry - I had no idea what the hell it was talking about so I just took a wild stab on that one.

Tomorrow I have a test in my COBOL class, and I KNOW that will not be very hard at all, but I would like to study a bit because I still don’t really know everything that is going to be on the test. Although he reassures us that we will all get A+’s on this test, I’m just not putting all of my faith in the instructor you know? We all know how THAT can blow up in your face and it might be the hardest damn test of my LIFE.

HOWEVER -

Tonight Allison and I went out to eat at Bing’s Wok, a Chinese place just up college avenue - afterwards we went to Dairy Queen where I had a vanilla cone - boy did that hit the spot!

We also had very nice conversations about a hundred topics but it was VERY entertaining to say the least.

Oh yeah and the Career Fair went fairly good - Discover was reallllyyy happy with my resume and said to e-mail them with a cover letter and my resume again so I can get an interview set up, etc.

So many things seem to be falling into place at exactly the right moments lately. Am I heading in the right direction?

Of course no one has a crystal ball directing me where to go next, but I sometimes wish I had a crystal ball - it would make my life easier…

Scared I’ll Freeze Up

Filed under Homework Blues, My Future, Nerves //

Oh man I’m so scared right now I’m practically shaking just imagining what it’s going to be like tomorrow.

Tomorrow is THE DAY. The Career Fair Day here at ISU.

It’s the day where a bunch of important (and large) companies come together in a HUGE room, each with their own table, information and recruiters, and then ISU students go around and introduce themselves and basically have a bunch of mini-interviews right there.

Oh, the joy.

I feel like making a list:

1. I’m scared that I’m going to freeze up tomorrow during an important interview
2. I’m scared that I will not know what to say when asked certain questions
3. I’m scared that I will not look professional enough.
4. I’m scared that I will forget everything that Tyler told me tonight.

Right now, I still need to update my resume, and I really need to make it look more professional.

Anddd I have a test on Wednesday that I am equally nervous about.

I just hope I can get through the next few days without suffering from a panic attack.
