IT'S OVER

My room before the exam.

Finally. Finally. Finally.
After 250 pages of refill, countless late nights and endless neglecting of school and life in general, it's finally over.

I can now procrastinate all I want, and only get a little screwed over.

Today we had our final exam for MAX. I can't say for sure whether or not doing this paper was worth it, and I probably will never know. But I do know that it's affected me quite a bit. I can now easily sleep past midnight and be relatively awake first period the next day. I can handle a lot more stress, and I can maintain that even though things seem impossible when you're standing there and then, chances are they'll work out in the end.

I felt so good when I came out of that exam. No matter how I did, I don't have to think about that stuff ever again. I can now look forward to my 6 week break, Australia & Europe. Ever since the 8th of February, I was looking forward to this day. There were so many times between then and now that I completely doubted myself. But I've come to realize that it's only through tough things do you get stronger, more sure of yourself, and more appreciative.

I don't know if I'd recommend MAX for anyone, (thanks Jaz ==) and unlike everything else in the world, I don't know if I would do it if I could go back and choose it again. There were some good things about it though.. I made a new tradition of doughnuts & hot chocolate after lectures. I now know my way around Auckland Uni - I did feel reasonably grown up walking around campus. I made some cool friends from different schools.

However I feel about MAX, it's done, and I'm happy.

freeee. :)
