Bus pass

[cosmolinguist]

Going home from the pub early to get a good night's sleep: good!

Anxiety attack because you lost your bus pass/railcard: bad!

Having left while your friends are still in the pub and can look for it for you...and eventually find it! Priceless.

I absolutely did not get the early night I wanted because my stupid anxiety wouldn't calm down.

But! I still did this in the best possible way: if I'd left the pub with my friends and got a lift home as I normally do, I wouldn't have noticed it was missing and I wouldn't have been able to ask them to look for it while they were still there. And they were kind enough to put it through my letterbox on their way home anyway.

So it all worked out, but the reason I wanted an early night was that I'm stressed about my Arabic exam today and so my nerves are so jangly just when I'd wanted to calm them down. Oh well, not much I can do about it now.

The credit goes to the guy who was sitting between me and you, who had the cunning idea to go to the bar and ask if it had been handed in :)

Good luck for your exam!

Ah, cunning! I wish I could remember that guy's name... :)

I hated the exam but from talking to people after it sounded like we all struggled in the same way so I guess I feel better for knowing that.

Hope the exam goes well!

I'll find out soon if it did! I'm embarrassed my teacher will see some of the stupid things I wrote down. :)
