I was on leave today to study for the certification exam tomorrow. Applied for the leave only yesterday because i just realized that i haven't studied for it at all and would most probably fail if i don't take one day off to at least read through the books.
Sigh, and there are four books to go through. I only managed to complete reading through two and a half today. Had been reading since morning, non-stop. It's really tough to squeeze in all the information into my tiny and ageing brain within a day.
The worst part is that i paid for the exam fee myself and would be a waste of money if i fail. To add on the stress to myself, i kinda bragged to my boss yesterday that i would pass the exam if i study for one full day, just so that he would approve my last-minute leave application.
There's a Chinese proverb that can describe me now ("临时抱佛脚"), which i don't know how to translate it. Suddenly, i feel like i'm back to school.
Darn, i need all the luck in the world.
