Sadly, it didn't make any difference AND no one noticed. I guess it just depends on how big the girls are!<br /><br />Good luck on your exam. I'll be praying!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303538256011330795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964127382381586570.post-51169678283417602342010-10-26T11:35:45.367-04:002010-10-26T11:35:45.367-04:00I love it!

And all of those other cliches. ;)<br /><br />I appreciate the encouragement, though I think you know that will go in one ear and out the other. Ha! (No really...thank you!)<br /><br />And now I know to wear a sports bra...because you just never know.

Five sections, so much garbage to know...I was so stressed! So I just assumed I wouldn't pass ANY of it, and went on my merry way with studying and all. Oh, and I had NO KIDS back then.<br /><br />But if I had these wonderful ideas (like the Star Trek convention!) maybe I wouldn't have worried so much??<br /><br />Best of luck to you!!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980063502482258767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964127382381586570.post-38334374837391568552010-10-25T17:09:47.759-04:002010-10-25T17:09:47.759-04:00Jennie - Only you can make me laugh at truth! (Ev...Jennie - Only you can make me laugh at truth! (Even at the last punchline - your post label - "I'm just crazy" - too, too funny.<br /><br />YES! I have been accused of being a pessimist ALL MY LIFE! (Can you detect the mild frustration in that sentence - HA!) I like to think my way works well for me. Here's an example: I've had times when I was waiting for a test result to come back - I, of course, will think the worst (preparation, in my opinion) and husband thinks everything will be just fine (blind, naive, silly viewpoint...just sayin').<br /><br />The way I look at it, I want to be prepared for the worst. So I kinda do a future "cheat" on it - let my emotions and thoughts wrap around the worst-case scenario, and sorta allow some of the fear and disappointment to at least show up on my radar. Then, IF the worst happens, I'm a little better prepared. If it doesn't - then WOO HOO! Good news is EVEN BETTER because it wasn't what I was expecting!!<br /><br />Expect the worst, hope for the best. That's kinda my motto.<br /><br />I wrote a novel here - Debbie understands... :)<br /><br />One other thing to prepare for (this really happened to me while taking a LONG final exam):<br /><br />Imagine your bra strap breaking, and spending the rest of the test trying to hold your "girls" in with one hand, while writing a dissertation with the other - and trying to make it un-obvious, so people don't think you're weirdly touching yourself... <br /><br />Uh huh - not a pretty picture!!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964127382381586570.post-24498879344403286342010-10-25T16:41:40.611-04:002010-10-25T16:41:40.611-04:00That husband of mine would say that you just descr...That husband of mine would say that you just described me. I call myself a realist. He calls me a pessimist. He calls himself an optimist, and I can him Peter Pan. <br /><br />Go ahead and prepare for the worst. I intend to pray otherwise just to prove you wrong. I like proving nerdy girls wrong. It drives them crazy. <br /><br />Ha!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.com
