here we go again

More exam woe. We are not 'supposed' to have them, since we are not modularised, but yes,one has crept in and many friends have up to 4. So of course I am ill. AGAIN. I have fought this cold (?) for a week, during which time I have been battered by the winds and rain of the region (all of them aimed at me, I swear), and it has of course won. Now, I should be feeling my very worst by Saturday when I have to go to some unknown cattle barn in S. Dublin and sit an exam. When I have dome that,I have to spend the next 6 days working on an 'exam essay', due in on 22 December.
After that I am free to get Christmas together. Just as well I am not one of those people who 'believes' in a big fancy 'do', let alone any other aspect of Christmas. It's enough to curdle the milk of human kindness, which I keep - where exactly? In my breast or in my veins? I can't remember, I feel so addled.
This does not bode well for the Saturday exam,when I need to remember things in a clear concise way. It is howling gale and teeming rain outside and I have to fight my way to the library - no,not the college library, where it is standing room only, just my local one to see if they can help me. The specialised Library for my subject would be the best, but I don't know if I can face the 90 mins bus-and-walk there, to find it also SRO, not on a day like today at any rate. Long cross-campus walks are best done on fresh summer days and crisp autumn ones and not too many of those recently.
Gotta go and achieve something, even though my head feels like cotton wool, if cotton wool could HURT.
