Happy Birthday to me!

Why was it that I wanted to be a qualified professional again? Seriously I can't remember why I was so desperate...must've been a bit funny in the head that day (yes, yes I know...I'm funny in the head every day...) Tomorrow afternoon I have the "joy" that is my final OL (Ophthalmic Lens) exam...two hours...in a hot lecture room...answering questions on aspheric sags, spectacle magnification, accurate transposition, best form lenses and all that jazz. Oh yayness. As glad as I will be to get the wretched thing out of the way (that way I can keep my eyes focussed on Easter and Christ, not BSEN ISO 21987...don't ask) I would much rather not have to do it. Can't I just pass without all the revising and crying and panicking and stress eating? ... No, didn't think so. Spent today (which coincidentally happens to be my 22nd birthday) reading through my revision cards. As pretty and confusing and informative as they may be I'd like to say (just for the record) I'll never use any of this again.

Pointless

Okay so this is probably the only tiny part of my course that's not
pointless...

Tedious

If folk don't mind sparing half a Hail Mary for my fellow day release students and I we'd all be eternally grateful.

Dear oh dear...DOD3B (my group) not at their best...

You know what's getting me through all the study and the sheer terror of exams? The fact it's only 2 weeks and 3 days (or 17 days if you like) left to go!
