A deck, a warm evening, a glass of wine, and …
Now we’ll see if we can’t translate that into a job.

As all good postcards do, this one arrives after the vacation is over:

Well, New Mexico is still tentatively on. I managed to get the follow-up doctor’s appointment rescheduled to Monday the 12th, although I was warned that I could expect a long wait. No problem. I’ll just take a couple of good books with me. I spent last night with my legs elevated, as per orders. Can’t…
Recovering
Tendon release surgery went well Wednesday. I came out of anesthesia with a dry nose that turned very drippy in the recovery room; by the time I woke up Thursday morning it was a full-blown head cold. I must have been ready to break with the cold going into surgery. Hand-wise things are going well….
A Feast of Blood Oranges
The blood oranges have again appeared at my grocery store. This is nearly a month earlier than their first appearance last year, and I dare to hope that this means that this year’s season will be longer. The Socialist has been indulging my addiction, and has purchased several dozen blood oranges for me already. I…
I’m not going to Disneyland
8:29 – The Auditor should be here at any time now. There is nothing further I can do to prepare. All that’s left now is to ride the wave in. 8:55 – Half an hour late, but here at last. 11:54 – It could be worse. 12:14 – The end is tantalizingly close. The Mouth…
Nerves
I leave for the new job in an hour. Between the normal Christmas stressors and this I’m a borderline basket case between the ears. I console myself with the fact that nobody expects much out of you on the first day of a job; it’s the *second* day I should be worrying about. Doesn’t help…
You’re probably just winding up your dentist’s appointment right now. I’m sure everything there went well and now you have to get your butt to school and study your head off. Eat something around five so a growling stomach doesn’t distract you. Don’t forget to have a nice cup of espresso or two about half an hour before the test. (Studies show that caffeine before a test improves scores, you know.) Then a trip to the bathroom immediately before. Those are my own little tricks to make sure I don’t have any distractions. With those suggestions I’m sure you’ll do very well on the test. (((hugs for luck)))
Good luck!
And try not to cram right up until the last minute – I always find it’s better to put my books away at least an hour before the exam, and spend the remaining time just relaxing, maybe reading some light fiction or something – it gives your brain a bit of time to process what you’ve learnt (otherwise you risk only being able to recall the last thing you tried to memorise!), and going into an exam in a relaxed state of mind is always a good idea.
But I’m sure you don’t need this advice anyway – you’ll blow them away!

RYC: I’m never convinced by my sketching ability – I almost didn’t upload those ones because they didn’t seem to me to look anything like what they were supposed to.
