Like I said before, this is an uncontrollable nervousness. I have channeled my focus on other things for nearly 10 weeks and was reminded last Thursday of what is to come. I'm not ready to jump off a bridge or anything but I can't ignore that this is the 3rd essay exam I've taken, and I haven't passed one yet even after studying 300+ hours each time. I don't think I'm consciously trying to waste time thinking about something I can't change. Believe me, I wouldn't think about it if I could. The only time I'm guilty of wasting is trying to explain this to people who are fortunate enough to not understand what I put myself through. I have done a lot better this sitting however and it just comes with the territory. I do feel better discussing it with others in the same boat so if you don't like it, then YOU can spend your time studying instead of replying.

I agree with smarty pants, this feeling in our gut isn't about to go away. I don't think telling someone to "calm down" has ever worked in the history of nervousness, but thank you for trying to ease our nerves by giving us a horrible solution of "try studying".
Oh, by the way, results still aren't up yet. Wait....let me hit refresh for the 50th time today....yep... they're still not up yet.

Uncontrollable emotions? I think these are tested on during the Course 7 seminar.
NYC tri: just a quasi-educated guess. I'm also guessing about 3 years between you and your nearest sibling?

Fartmanistan - I will get back to work as I have plenty of it. I have to fix all the errors you're making while you're pretending to not check the soa website as many times as I have.

Pretty good Dr T Non-Fan...I have one brother 5 years younger. So I had five years of being an only child and 26 years of being the only daughter. On top of it all I have some very cool parents, so I've really been very lucky.
As far as the whole "being nervous" thing goes, it's perfectly normal and I know it will not go away until I know if I passed or not. When I first started competing in running and later in triathlons I used to get nervous before races and a friend told me that being nervous means that whatever it is you're nervous about actually matters to you. So as long as nerves don't make you completely lose your marbles (or your lunch) it's all good. So be proud of your nerves, pals

I hate waiting. I hate not knowing. I hate being so angry, waiting and hating and not knowing
Oh, why can't they just release already!

You have displayed the traits of the first-born whose only-childness was snatched from her at an early age.
All those emotions might come from somewhere else, though.

NYC triathlete,
Just to take your mind off of things. I am trying to put together a relay team for the Ironman in Hawaii. I can do the swim distance. I am looking for a biker to bike 110 miles or a runner to run a marathon. Interested in either one?
