Jan. 14th, 2006 10:54 amI just slept through my start of term exam.
Saw it coming. I've been having really hard hits of insomnia again, mostly due to fucking up my sleeping habbits over the holiday. I left Emma's party before midnight, and entirely sober, and then did some revision, and then called Rosie and then STILL couldn't sleep and lay there thinking 'only three hours I should just get up otherwise I'm going to sleep through it'. But I didn't, and I did.
And now I should get on with the other things I'm meant to be doing today. The fun things. Because there's no point not doing them. But it seems all wrong. I feel like I should make more of an effort to correct this mistake, but I've attempted to contact my tutors, and I've been to the exam room but the invigilator's gone and they haven't left me a paper... so there really isn't anything else I can think of to do. Other than, y'know, sort out my fucking sleep patterns again.
So I thought that instead of doing any of those things, I'd go post on LJ. *sigh*

When I invigilated, I would always leave all the papers on the desk till half an hour before finishing, to allow for this sort of thing, especially on Saturday mornings (sometimes I'd start with 75% turnout for Saturday ones, btw, so in that sense you aren't alone).
*hugs*

You're right, there's nothing you can do about it now it's done, so go and do something enjoyable to take away the edge of feeling shit about it, because you don't deserve that. It's an honest mistake and one that comes from smaller mistakes piling up before.
I hope you do have a good day.
*hugs*
