Exam Time / myLot

Grumpy Nerves - my daughter has Three Major exams this month and she is preparing for them as we speak. She has done all the summations, plenty of studying and now is doing some of the older exam papers to get insight into what they might ask. By this time in the afternoon - 17h00 she is pooped - and yes this word will be accepted, i tried it the other day - @garymarsh6 I have told her that with the heat we have been experiencing, a good afternoon swim, relaxing time is needed and then she can hit the books later when the air is cooler. The ballet girls are finishing off class from the school and walking past her room where she is taking a lie down after her swim . . . . . well she has just belted out "Get away you rowdy little brats" ha ha ha - I will have to go rescue the situation - they are being rowdy but not sure if they like being called little brats!! Super Mom to the rescue

I had to go out and call a PEACE conference - she was furious with them - Well I haven't heard her belt that out her bedroom window ever. She must be very stressed. Might have to get her some chamomile tea or something.

I know how your daughter is feeling. I just finished my biggest exam in my life. It took four years to finish those and that times were really stressful.

Taking exams certainly is stressful and hope she is able to relax a little

Thats what I tell her - but unfortunately this time of the year its busy at the Ballet School we have as well - so noisy ballerinas are in and out all day long. Shame - I might have to put up a sign - Grumpy is Studying!!
