Things that suck when you have a huge exam in 29 hours

1 - you wake up nice and on time, decide to test your CD-RW drive just to be sure, and end up spending 5 hours troubleshooting the driver
2 - you find out the problem was a very simple preference setting
3 - your sister in law gets in a bike wreck and ends up having to have surgery on her wrist
4 - you discover one of your print drivers is missing and spend an hour trying to find a driver for a printer which is longer supported by the manufacturer. Then have to troubleshoot that for 20 minutes.
5 - you are flat broke
6 - your car will no longer shift in to any gear at all
7 - see #5. Can't go to the mechanic. Or the study group for the exam which is now 17 hours away.

Oh, and I have a belt test in aikido tomorrow after the final of doom, no way to get there (see about re:car), and my knee is inexplicably swollen.

All I really have the energy left to do right now is sob.

Hold on - this too shall end.

a little trick I use when my life is like that (unsolicited advice is so useful, no?)

I just say "In _____ hours this will be the past - something I can just forget if I don't like it."

And then - what do you know, in _____ hours it *is* the past!
