The Stressful Test-translated from the original Spanish

Manicure and pedicure.

Ok. I have my test in 4 hours. For me, that is way too much time. The waiting makes me nervous. I don't know why. Maybe it's what I said many years ago. I said, I like the suspense, I just hate not knowing! In this case, it is the same. I don't like not knowing the result of the test. Especially when so much depends on the result.
Yesterday I went to a spa to get a massage, and also a manicure and pedicure in order to relax. The problem was that afterward, I still had 19 hours before the test. I went to bed early to get some sleep, but woke up early, too. Then I took a bath while listening to music. Next I made breakfast, ate, took a shower, and got ready for the day. Right now I'm relaxed. I go to work in 30 minutes. However, I have to wait 3 hours before the test. It seems that everything is against me. When I went to the clinic to have my Lasik, I had to wait a lot, 3 hours there, too, and every minute made me more and more nervous. Everything went well in that case, but I don't know what will happen today.
In any event, I have to take and pass the test. I leave next week for Mexico. There is no time to not pass. I will pass. I'm sure of it . . .

A big breakfast: eggs with tomatoes and cheese,
applesauce, pumpkin cobbler, and water.
I couldn't eat it all.

With a little time, I don't look too bad :)

As for when, I specifically chose not to post that on my blog just because of the public nature of my blog. But I sort of mentioned it on facebook, so you can check there. :); June 19, 2011 at 10:17 PM
