It is the night before the first of our two days of Final Internal Exams for phase one; what this means is whether or not we are eligible to be candidates for the external licensing exams.
It has been a very very long day of studying and revising; up at the crack of dawn and working non-stop with no breaks other than for food.
Right now, my head is thumping and I feel drained. I really want to go to sleep and get some rest before the exams, but there is still so much that can be done.
The fear has definitely arrived, although I am yet to receive the butterflies. I am feeling very nervous about tomorrow. It is 4 exams tomorrow and 3 on Friday.
The Illusionist
- "This is it boys, you have to go in there and just get on with it. There is no 'I can't do this' or I 'We haven't been taught how to do this'. This is the moment, the moment you've all been building up to."
Hearing him phrase it like that, conjured up images of being on the flight deck, in a situation. There IS NO going back; here you are, the pressure is here, the tools you have are all you have. It is time for me to prove my strength of character, in the first of many trials that will face me in my career.
Here goes; wish me luck..
