Jan. 15th, 2008 09:12 pmI have an exam in less than twelve hours and my next one less than 24 hours after that. i can't get my mind to settle and I've cleaned the house, painted my nails, sorted out my wardrobe, tried all my usual tricks and I just can't sit down and do my re-read of my notes, reasoning that I can just leave it until tomorrow.
Normally my trick to getting rid of this is to turn up some music really loud - I have Take That, The Wombats and the new Arcade Fire album to dance around my room to, ferchrissakes - but I cannot do this for two reasons. Firstly, Sarah is still revising and may not appreciate Mark Owen crooning at her to shiiiiiine. Also I have a blistering awful headache that painkillers, copious amounts of water and aforementioned displacement activites have failed to shift. I am not one for headaches and feeling this woozy and weird with it is really not helping my work ethic.
I think I'm going to go and take my nervous breakdown to the beach. It seems to have stopped raining and the tide should be far enough out.
I am sort of not coping right now. Bring on Friday; I've sorted out lots of good stuff to make me feel wonderful again but right now all I can feel is the vice around my skull that's been there all day and the slightly sick feeling in my stomach that tomorrow's doom will bring.
And if anyone knows about surefire headache riddance techniques (the dark room thing doesn't help, either) then please do tell me.
[eta: been to the beach. Headache isn't gone by a long shot but I feel thoroughly more sane than I did previously. Hurrah!]
