Exam mode

I'm entering two and a half weeks of final exams beginning this Friday, so posts will be sparse for the next little while. When I can, though, I'm still keeping up with all of you - nobody can study a hundred per cent of the time, and certainly not me.

Sleep and pain reduction are high on my list of priorities during exams. This is one time of year when I allow myself all the sleep meds, extra painkillers and couch-flopping I need without feeling guilty for not trying to feel better on my own. Thankfully, as the effect of the hip injection begins to wear off, the Celebrex is proving very easy on my stomach and I'm still feeling much better than I was before the cortisone. Holding it together (physically, at least!) over the next few weeks should be a fairly simple task.

I'm a big believer in not stressing yourself out to the point where you go into an exam (or whatever) a total wreck. So, I shall be coddling myself accordingly.

I can't believe I'm almost done first year!

Good luck with your exams, Helen.

You're such a wise person, Helen. I'm glad you're feeling better and that the Celebrex is helping, too. And I hope that everything continues to keep you feeling decent long past the end of your exams. Best of luck with those, but I know that you don't need luck that much--you study hard and deserve your good marks.

Congrats on nearly finishing your first year in law school. Incredible! Bravo!

This afternoon I had fun with a friend and then went out with another. And now it is 10:15 and I am going to bed in a bit, and I didn't do any homework. And honestly, I don't feel that guilty because I am in pain and tired! Go us!!

Thanks for the good luck everyone! I am not feeling too badly - definitely nervous, but not horrible (yet, anyway).

Britta - we all need fun days. I'm glad you had one (and that it was guilt-free, too)!
