Panic!!!

I have my first exam tomorrow and I don't know anything. Too much stuff and too many blokes with German names that all sound the same. Es gipt nischt gut!!! Me not liking this exam thi ng. I am so not prepared for this exam its not funny. Tomorrow's is the worst of the lot of them. I just can't wait till its over.
As well at that, I still haven't sorted my dissertation. I've got work comingm out of my ears!

Finally!

It took the Carphone warehouse 5 days to finally connect my phone. It works- I can make calls and send text messages and everything- trae exciting. I know I know, its no big deal really but I am a mobile phone junkie. I feel lost without it and when most people only have your mobile number I did feel a bit like I'd lost touch with the world. I still need to write a nasty letter of complaint to the carphone warehouse. I might try and bill them for all the money I spenk calling various call centres to get my phone fixed. I'd probably be lucky if I even manage to get an appology out of them. Normally I'd just let it go and not use that company again but I'm stuck with a 12 month contract with them now. I just have to ride it out and hope and pray that nothing else goes wrong. I must admit that it was slightly amusing when one of the call centre people' advice for me was to pray! Which I did do eventually! It just seemed in my head that it was such a silly trivial prayer and was wasting God's time which is rediculous. We can take all things to God. I spend so much time pointing this out to everyone else but somethimes I just have to listen to my own advice.When I finally prayed, my phone started working 2 hours later. It would have sounded like such a silly prayer to make but in the end it was the hundreds of thousands on top of the icing on the cake. When your stress levels are so high that you start crying over a phone I guess you've got to stand back from your pride and let God in. I keep on learning this lesson and re-learning it. Its amazing how quickly you forget things when the slightest bit of stress comes your way.
