I think I did kinda ok on my trig test... like I studied since friday for it and reviewed before taking the test as well today... But then as soon as I sat down and took it everything I learned just vanished.. Some of it was there but everything else just went..

I could do every problem on the test at home and on the quizes just fine... I hate myself

Trying to unscrew some plans. Going to LA on October 17th for a friends wedding on the 18th. Now the powers that be want to send me to Atlanta for an Audi class on the 16th. So I'm supposed to fly to Atlanta on Wednesday the 15th, attend the class on Thursday from 8-5pm, then fly back to Dallas Thursday night to get on a plane to LA on Friday morning........

I had the same problem. For myself I used meditation and breathing exercises before a tough test, to relieve test anxiety. Some people have tried a very small dose of PH relaxents.

The wife and daughter have a Girl Scout meeting tonight so it's just the boys and I. Get some pizza, sit around in our underwear and diapers (you decide who is who), scratch ourselves and drop food on the floor for the dogs while watching the Sox game. I'm looking forward to it!

I'll probably spend an hour or so before they leave scrounging around the basement to find some last minute dumpster material since it gets picked up Friday morning. I've got to admit, it feels damn good to lighten the load. Once the dumpster is gone all I've got left is an 8' Knapheide rack body, an 8'x8' snowmobile trailer frame and a 21' Bayliner to make disappear to anyone who'll take them away. If I had the ambition I'd haul the rackbody and frame to the recycler for the steel but somebody could probably use them as-is.
