When I lose my head I lose my spine.

One down, three to go. Exams here are scary. It's like taking an AP test. You go into the exam hall (which was a gym for me today), you have assigned seating, you teacher is nowhere to be found, there are proctors but they aren't called proctors here, you get reminders of time, and you aren't allowed to bring much of anything into the room with you. When you walk in there are like ten people staring at you seeing what kind of things you're bringing into the hall--I was told that I had to put my jacket in the cloakroom upstairs. It was hot in there anyway. It's different though because the examiners walk around the whole freaking time. There is always someone walking past you and looking at you to make sure you aren't somehow cheating. It's really distracting actually.

Definitely out of practice writing essays. Only two and a half pages each essay. Not looking good. And you know, this first exam was the one I actually need to pass. Ugh. It's over now though. Can't think about it anymore.

I got carded at the store a little while ago and I didn't have my student card. I don't think I can use my student card anyway though. I don't know if it has my birthday on it. I'd never been carded at Dunnes before though. It was weird. I guess I don't even look 18 today. It's probably because of my backpack. I decided to just take Paco as my grocery bags cause all my other ones are falling apart. College kids don't really use backpacks here. Instead of beer, I'm drinking hot whiskey tonight.

It's actually hot in my room right now. I'd much rather be hot than cold though. I'm not complaining.
