Thick As Pig Shit...

That's me.

My simulation started today at 9:30am - and I was out of the room by 11:30am, having failed to complete even one of the eleven tasks... I started 2 or 3 of them, but I couldn't even concentrate on the questions - I just got in a total panic, and you had 2 books (one for questions, one for your answers), and it kept saying things like "Refer to pg x of your answer book, pgs yy - zz of your question book, and write your answer on pg a of your answer book" - and I couldn't even remember what bloody task I was supposed to be doing!

You were allowed to go to the toilet, so I went about 11am to see if I could take some deep breaths and calm myself down... but it just wasn't going to happen. So I flunked it and walked.

What is wrong with me? Why can't I get to grips with things? Why can't I just focus and concentrate? Is there any point in me going on with this course?

When I get the results of my December exam back next week, and when I've failed it (as I know I have), I'm giving serious thought to giving up on Level 3 (which I'm doing now) and re-enrolling in June to do Level 2.
