I just had an emotional breakdown: partly because my computer crashed while I was studying and taking notes; partly because I'm freaking out about my history exams. I must write 3 papers: the last two of which include 5 essays. The information I must memorize is insane: from pre-WW1 to the process of detente in the Cold War... I have to know these events inside out and be able to analyze them. It's crazy, but we've been studying these things since September 2010. I'm freaking out, though.
Anyways, the computer crashed, and I burst out into tears. I'm still red-eyed and stressed, but I need not be. This is the moment where most of my IB buddies would come in with a pep talk and yell at me (in a personal-trainer-sort-of-good-way), telling me that I've been studying this stuff for two years. I've been writing for so long. On the inside I really know what to do, and when the time comes, everything will come flying back and I'll nail this. In fact, they'd probably tell me that I could nail it right now, if I put my mind to it. Don't let obstacles get in the way, just sprint.
Wow. Kind of just gave myself a pep-talk and I feel a little better, actually.
In any case, after 5-10minutes of balling and raging I washed my face with freezing cold water, turned the computer back on, and decided to pull everything back up, and keep this picture on the side, as well as on my desktop, for motivation.
It's working.
I'm going back to work now. I've pulled out a bunch of history text books and hopefully my computer stays alive enough for me to get a good review in.
Not going to stress, because that will get me nowhere.
Sprinting.

I just saved this as my desktop background. Thanks! :)
