random question but can we use those inky pilot precise pens for the essay?
or does it have to be just a regular pen

yea right :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: who is going to be calm enough to read that?
 
Saturday night Im gonna be passed out in a gutter after about 35 shots. 😀 Anybody else??? Good luck to everybody, its just a friggin test right?
 
bucket of rats, 2 candles, a lighter, a can of kerosine and some yarn....

those inky pens probably wouldnt be a good idea... they usually soak through the page so much, that trying to read a paper that you wrote on both sides of is a pain in the ass.

oh yes. saturday night will be great.... this month of abstenance will be rewarded with a nice 12 pack of moosehead.

Your list looks quite complete. Every time I thought I'd add something to the list, boom I find it there (e.g. pencil sharpener.)

Maybe some inspirational personal item (lucky rabbit's foot, picture of your loved one(s), etc.) ?? Also you might consider some ant-acid like Tums or some anti-diarrheal in case you experience some unusual bowel activity :laugh:
 
I actually plan to bring some of the pink generic chewable tablets just in case. Those work very well.

HAHAH this thread is hilarious

something motivational I'll need:
CD w/ the mix I'm about to make in a couple of hours before I sleep...This is what I'll be doing during any free time =D
 
I second the pink chewable Pepto-Bismol tablets! Also along with painkiller like Tylenol I'm taking sudafed (actually the kind with sudafed plus guafinesin), because the pollen count here has been way high and my sinuses aren't so happy.

The other thing I'd add is my cell phone to call my husband if I want to during lunch (probably won't want to, but just in case), and also to come pick me up after the test is over!

Really thorough list though 👍

woohoo, this thing is almost over!!!!!!!!
 
might seem like a stupid question, but wh would you take tylenol? I guess if you get a headache in the middle of the test, no?
 
One more thing: running shoes. It's going to be a beautiful day for a run. Nice way to shake off the anxiety when it's over.
