And then I decided to take a first-year paper this year - Russian language. I decided it would be fine for me to up and leave the country for two months, and then just catch up when I got back. It's a 100-level course, right? Can't be that hard? The exam'll be a breeze!
Well, I've spent the last week studying Russian verbs, vocabulary, cases, grammar. Memorising three months' missed classes. Feeling guilty day and night because I wasn't working hard enough. Beating my head against a brick wall going "it's soooooo haaaaaarrrrd, I hate exams, heghhhhh".
And now the exam is over and I am exhausted. Really looking forward to getting back to my thesis. I apologise, undergrads. Exams suck. I will never downplay their horror again.
As an interesting aside, below is the result of one my moments of procrastination this week:

A) I think you have a future in topiary design.
B) You couldn't pay me to go back to college full time again. I remember the undergrad hell. No thank you.
C) My experience has taught me, if I brag about it, I will eat it in the form of crow.
Aw, poor Allie!
Love the shrubbery.
