The things that have kept me sane today...

While pulling out scrap paper for doing my accounting mock exams, I came across these two sheets: journal entries (i.e. solutions) to high school accounting problems that I photocopied from a friend many years ago. Coincidence or what? lol

Along with those, there were...

Papers from genetics research that I worked on
Articles from neuro lab journal club meetings
Grid paper from chem labs
Lecture slides from pharm classes
Re-creations of bio process diagrams
School letters from St Eds
Resumes from past years
Application forms for various things

One other sheet caught my attention, but now's not the time to think about that.

While actually doing the mock exam, I also came across something else.  On my school accounting exam, this was the last question:

"Your instructor has two children.  What are their names?  If you can't remember that, name the universities that they went to.  If you blank out and can't think of that either, then what names would you have given them?"

I'm dead serious.  That was the last question, worth 5%.  And that explains why on the very first class when she was introducing herself and her family, she joked about us not writing down such important information.  Question #33 of the mock exam I just finished contained the answer.  I spelled the daughter's name wrong and gave the son a different name.  But I'm sure I got my 5%.

I've literally done hundreds of MC questions in the last few days.  The amount of time that I've spent outside the house in the last week is probably an hour (i.e. the two times I went to check up on my boss's office).  The last week has consisted of study,eat and sleep.  I said no to lunches, no to dinners, no to shopping, no to everything.

Is this going to pay off?  Am I going to make it?  I really don't know.  In fact, I can't even judge what my chances are, because it's been so inconsistent.
