Marathon

This is going to sound weird. (just warning y'all!)

Okay, my last exam wasn't so hot. One of the sections I messed up pretty bad. I read the wrong question and wrote a different answer. The other section was good. So, I hope that compensates for my blunder.

We have a gap of one day between exams. So, yesterday although I started studying for tomorrow's exam I didn't cover much. Today morning, I didn't have my focus at all. I sat down to study but every damn time my mind kept wandering to that damn question. Kept worrying. Didn't do much at all in the morning either.

After lunch, I was surfing the net. I have recently started reading a lot of things Wicca. I like it. Anyway, I just picked a Tarot card today (online...lol). Usually while I read astrology, horoscopes and believe in Tarot cards to an extent, I take them pretty lightly. I don't do anything based on them.

Today I picked the Tarot of the Hanged Man and I read the interpretation at http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/hangedman.shtml

Towards the end of the interpretation, it said something about a sacrifice of some sort. I wasn't about to change my beliefs, wasn't in a position to give money or any of the other things listed there. So I sacrificed my break time and I decided to study for 8 hours focussed... lol

I closed my laptop at 12.45 pm with this picture in it...lol.

(Let me tell you.. it did help. But I never actually opened the laptop. Just knowing I would see that if I opened it, stopped me from doing that)

I stopped whining about not being able to focus and I just did. I don't know why but the Tarot kept me focussed. There's no logical reason but it worked so I'm not questioning it :P

And I went on an 8 hour marathon. I completed so much that I'm pretty amazed by myself and teeny bit smug. I was also completely tired by the end and just needed  lie down for 10 minutes even though I had done no physical work... lol. I think I'll split it up into 4 and 4 next time... :P

Not only that I feel confident about an exam for the first time in a long time.

So that's my 'weird but totally worth it' experience for today!
