FEAR

It's coming down to the last few hours of studying for my last final exam of the year. My assessment at this point is grim.

It's clear that I won't get an "A" in this course, but the question that does remain is, just how badly will I do? I must pass the final to pass the course and right now, I can't say that's a guarantee. In previous years, this course had a final exam that had an average mark of 46%.

I know I'm going to get my ass kicked tomorrow, but I'm hoping to scratch and claw for enough marks to get me over 50%. To be honest, I don't know a single person who said they got a great mark in this class.

Time to enter the final phase!

YEAH, I'M GOING CRAZY

I just took a pee. The toilet in my bathroom is right near the door. As I was doing my business, I thought to myself, "Hey, I wonder if I can completely stick my head out the door frame (without moving my feet) and still be hitting the bowl?"

The answer is yes.

UNMOTIVATED... AGAIN

I have a killer exam on Saturday. Yes, Saturday... as in the day after the first game against the Wild. The timing is perfect.

In the meantime, I've again developed some serious motivation problems. I wrote an exam this morning and planned on taking the morning and a little bit of the afternoon off. Yeah, try like the entire whole day! I now have basically two whole days to study for my hardest exam.

Old Erwin wouldn't have let this happen. Old Erwin woulda holed up in his room and focussed like sonuvabitch for days in advance. Old Erwin then would have been prepared like no other student in that class and be the "King of All Geeks".

Of course, we're dealing with New Erwin now, who's a lot less stressed, strangely still wants a good mark but doesn't put in all the crazy hours anymore, and is easily distracted by TV, video games, women he has no chance with, the Internet, and shiny objects.

You know, just writing this has made me motivated (for now). I'm gonna end this post here and get going! Old Erwin in the house!

STUNNED AGAIN

I'm kinda speechless right now, but it's been a crazy night for all different type of hockey reasons.

What I do know is that I'm gonna get my ass kicked by my final exam tomorrow. Oh no!

I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS

I don't have good feelings about tomorrow night's game. They say anything can happen in game sevens and this is exactly why I'm worried. Sure, the Canucks played well enough to win the last two games, but I don't think that counts for much now. It's highly unlikely the Blues are going to give up and go away easily. They're gonna come out hard and I only hope Vancouver can match their intensity. Again, it's only a feeling I have, but it's not good.

It's obvious the first goal will be huge in this game. If Vancouver gets the first goal, I'll be 0.0001% less nervous for the rest of the game. I can only cringe at how the fans and the Canucks will react if the Blues get the first goal.

I'm nervous already!

I STILL STAND BY MY PREDICTION

Despite what happened in St. Louis tonight, I still think the Blues will win in six. :)

I watched the game with two other guys and we all mentioned how the Canucks better not have a mental lapse in the third period, like they did in the last game. Sure enough, they stopped pressing and/or let the Blues dial-up their play. The end result was a game which was way more exciting than it needed to be.

To say I'm nervous for game seven is an understatement. Each game is a new game and anything can happen, good or bad. The real kicker is that I have an exam on Wednesday at 8:30am. It will be very unlikely much studying will be done past 7:30pm on Tuesday night. Final exams started on the same day the playoffs started. Coincidence? Or an evil agreement between the NHL and UBC?
