I was praying that I wouldn't get sick.

Saturdat May 30th (a week before the exam), I go out, have a couple of drinks come home pass out.

Monday June 1 - At around 7pm, my throat starts hurting.

Tues June 2 - I wake up and my throat is hurting pretty bad, I panic but decide to continue studying.

Tuesday night, I decide to take a mock and felt like @#$%& so i put it off for Wednesday.

Wednesday morning - My mom calls me and tells me she's having emergency surgery on Thursday at 6pm. She explains they had to open her up and remove something, a common surgery but I couldn't concentrate and it had me worried.

Wednesday afternoon - studied all day and took a mock, I score a 74%, i felt somewhat happy.

Thursday- I woke up and I couldn't swallow my spit, my throat is killing me.... at around 3, I take my mom to the hospital. Wish her well and go to the cafeteria to take a mock. I had forgotten my exam at home. I drove home and took the exam from 11pm to 2am. After the exam, I drove back to the hospital to check up on my mom, her surgery was over and she was awake, she even spoke to me.

Friday June 5, I still had a sore throat but I did not feel weak like I felt Tuesday and Wednesday. I studied all day and went to see my mom at night. Came home and went to bed at 1145PM.

Friday night June5 to the 6 - I couldn't go to sleep to safe my life, I was tossing in bed for hours, I even tried to listen to classical music, drink milk but nothing seemed to work. At 4 am, I finally went to bed.

Saturday June 6- My friend calls me at 530am... "dude i'll be at your house at 6 to pick you up. I told him to forget it. He calls back at 6am...�Dude I am afraid you're going to miss the exam".... �F$ck! Ok come pick me up, I replied.

I took the exam, sick with 1.5 hours of sleep and had to hold my urine for 1.5 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon. I went to the bathroom prior to the morning and afternoon exam.

HOW UNLUCKY CAN I BE?

Overall, I finished both exams, with 30 mins left, and had ample time to rework questions I had skipped.

After that, my friends and I went out and celebrated until 3 am....i felt like i was going to die. Sunday i woke up feeling like sh********T. I am glad this is over.

Haha yeah that had to be the same old man. It was at the Pomona testing center. I couldn't believe he said that. I was just thinking to myself "are you serious right now?"
 
Ya Marjuhrene. I was laughing. It was this old kinda chubby guy. Nice, but that is not something you say when I am leaving the bathroom. I was giggling all the way back to my seat.
 
HK test centre - guy at the front wore large extra dark shades throughout the exam- totally in the zone.....
 
I sat on the wrong side of the room, though the table numbers were the same, and was handed a Level 2 exam booklet, good thing I spotted that before I started the exam..

Did he look like that old creepy man from Family Guy? or may be he was ex-senator Larry Craig.
 
@ Rasec, sucks to be sick that close to the exam. I was sick for two weeks in early May and my productivity during those two weeks totally plummeted.

I went to a friends birthday party in March. Found out the next day that two of the girls living there had strep throat. Another one had pink eye. A friend of theirs had mono. I made out with a strep throat and a pink eye chick. Then hooked up with another girl (don't know if she had anything). But I was sick until Mid-April (about a month, maybe more). Tough time studying. I had strep for so long my immune system was crap. Then caught a common cold which became a sinus infection. Had pink eye too, haha. I feel your pain, but I am thankful I was ok by exam day. You are a trooper for going in there to rock it anyway.
 
To Raw & 4tay,

I am thankful, I did not have flue like symptoms. Just a nasty cough. Wish you both luck.

Oh I was good by exam day. 4Tay definitely had it worse. I am thankful I felt pretty good. You guys are ballers going in there sick!

Good thing I was quite familiar with the Expo, I guess :) I was able to find some remote washrooms that were not so fully occupied. But yes, it would be SO MUCH NICER to have it in one of Suntec's hall or something (Expo's a lot cheaper, I'm sure.)

I checked in for the 2nd session at 1.35, then I realized I should've checked in earlier. People were sleeping inside that cool quiet hall! Why didn't I think of that!

After the exam there were so many people at the train platform I was wondering if the structure would be strong enough to carry all those people. Luckily I was going to the airport direction--way less people. Phew.

Raw, maybe you should change your name to "wrapped up" to avoid further sickness? Get it?;-)

Jk, nothing too eventful for my day, I finished the PM session and stood up to go hand in my test just as they announced 30 mins remaining so i get up there and the guy says even though i was done I wasn't up at the desk so they can't let me leave. It sucked but what was another 30 mins after 9 hours right?

I wish logic would be used in that scenario, I understand they have to be fair but no one else would have known if I had left a minute after time, I was just handing my stuff in. It's over now though.

Saw a guy eating a huge pickle and drinking an extra large can of Red Bull while waiting to check in for the AM at the Denver testing center.

Yummy

More Craig I think. He was kinda pudgy. So the creepy old perv from Family guy is a tad too skinny, haha
