T-13 Hours and Counting

The day has finally arrived (or will arrive in less than 13 hours). My nerves seem to enjoy breaking the rules and refuse to chill! I have spent the day attempting to "go by the book" and relax, but I am still debating whether or not I have relaxed or I need to relax or I need to study or I need to...AHHHH! Pure craziness, but thankfully for only a little longer.

I attempted to relieve some stress with retail therapy; however, I am still uncertain as to whether or not it contributed to my stress or if it really benefitted me. The first store I entered, the sales associate greeted me and proceeded to look at me and utter the following, "Are you sure I can't help you with anything? You look confused or something." Who is that chick?! I mean really, I know I was stressed out, but give me a break (Nerves: 1 Hilary:0)! Thanks, high school chick. Not only did I not find an Easter top, but I was also paranoid in every store I entered. I just so happened to catch other sales associates looking at me funny because I appeared to have "I'm confused/frightened/lost" written across my face. Epic retail therapy fail!

After such an unsuccessful morning, I needed a pick-me-up. I managed to score the most amazing, delightful, cute (seriously, the bag is adorned w/cream colored polka dots) spring-filled, delicious bag of M&M'S EVER! Let me introduce you to my (your) new chocolate obsession: Coconut M&M'S! The only thing that could possibly make this tasty treat better is dark chocolate; but, the milk chocolate will suffice for now (Nerves 1: Hilary 1). Get. Your. Bag. Now.

Just as I decided that I should become a recluse for remainder of the day, my nerves decided to play an evil trick. Yes, I forgot the code to enter the gate at my apartment (Nerves: 2 Hilary:1)! But no worries, I managed to get home and collect myself (aka come to terms with my mind and put a leash on it).

I refuse to lose to my nerves today; therefore, I will spend the rest of the evening consuming unusually large amounts of dark chocolate and catching plenty of beauty sleep in fresh, crisp, clean sheets (Nerves:2 Hilary:2)!

GMAT OWNAGE: T-13 hours!

*Note(s) to self: Relax. Breathe. Focus. Keep the faith. Exude confidence.
