Ok, so maybe not the exact opposite but they might as well have if they're gonna give me that nasty yellow stuff.

Studying makes me hungry too....another reason I need to pass, if I don't I might end up being 200 lbs! lol


And the closer we get to the test dates, the more I'm freaking.

Welcome to the club. I went from slightly underweight to slightly overweight in 2 months. And this is only Exam 4

I need to either give up on these exams and find a new career or find a way to motivate myself to pass them. This is the third sitting in a row I've half-assed studied and found myself a little over a week from my exam with zero hope of passing. I just have no desire to study when I could be doing anything else instead.

Planning on spending a good portion of the weekend studying, but I have absolutely no motivation right now...
