Four weeks to go

I realized today that the final exams are only four more weeks from now. This is quite a frightening thought I have to admit. However, I cannot stop "Father Time" - known to those who read "The Chronicles of Narnia" - and I finally come to the conclusion that even if I had 6 more months to study, I would not be able to get more information in my head.

It seems that everyone around me is getting a bit waspish, even I start barking at my flatmate for doing nothing at all. But surprisingly, everyone else from my study groups have this ridiculous impression, that I know all the answers. I had three "Please Help me, I know nothing at all" calls this afternoon. The funny thing is that when I ask what is wrong, they know more than me! I seem to have this reputation to be a perfect "Dear-Abby type".

There is also one of my lecturers who tries to convince me that I still have enough time to conduct a "Tutorial" next semester - she seems to forget that there are 9 oral exams for the teaching degree and 4 more for my master - telling me again and again, that she believes I would be good at that. Right, I would like to do that, it fills my wallet, but I remember my tutorials - they were rubbish and I guess I will be dissatisfied with myself.

Apart from that - it's "Karneval" in Germany. I have not been out for ages, but I will meet some friends tomorrow to have dinner together. I spent up to 16 hours at my desk studying. I do not know how I am going to survive the next few weeks. I tread myself with good food (I cooked a Curry yesterday with fresh prawns) and if possible I go walking for at least an hour - depending on the weather of course.

So wish me luck that I manage to survive - okay, everyone I know survived this heavy time at the end of their studies, but an educational degree is pure horror - my master is kindergarden work compared to it!
