Several things make a post:

[raven]

1. Twenty-four exams are like essay crises, except it's not your own fault for leaving it to the last minute, it's just because your life sucks that much;

2. 15 hours 24 min and counting;

3. Downstairs' dog is howling at the moon and I really empathise;

4. 2173 words, approx a million to go, oh god, oh god, I cannot deal with this;

5. Really, like an essay crisis only WORSE;

6. I tried to write some of a story to cheer myself up yesterday, just for half an hour, a delicately romantic Vorkosigan story and then Shim pointed out that 500 words of it were actually an out-take from another story entirely, possibly called "five times ImpSec tried to arrest the entire population of Vorbarr Sultana", which I thought was.... distressing, and also true;

7. Funny how my fic output skyrockets when I have to do something else, e.g. take a degree;

8. I hate law school;

9. Hate it hate hate it;

10. My adviser refuses to give 24-hour exams because she thinks they're sexist and adversely affect on women with childcare issues;

11. I wish everyone thought that way;

12. I hate law school;

13. 15 hours 22 minutes and counting;

14. 'kaythxbye.

10. Your adviser is awesome.

6. I would love to read that story--both of those stories!

13. Good luck! You can do it! \o/

She really is! I adore her, not least when she says things like that.

...and now I'm done. *siiiiigh* And I can write those stories if I want to! Or maybe I'll just sleep. There's that. yeah.

Oh, ow. Not fun at all.
*sends lots of sympathy and encouraging thoughts*

This was very reassuring at 3am when I felt like the only person in the world, thank you. :)

Your examiner is clearly evil, but you are smart, you can totally pull this off.

Just, you know, breathing is important, and also tea.

You are a wise lady. :) And I am still alive!

10. My adviser refuses to give 24-hour exams because she thinks they're sexist and adversely affect on women with childcare issues;

And people who need more sleep than others!

Good luck with it.

Law school does that too! And, thank you.

I salute you for surviving this.

When you're conscious again, give us a call.

That all sounds beyond horrible. *hugs* But you will get it done, and then it will be over, and soon exams will be a thing of the past and you can relax.

Soooon. *waaaaaail*

They ACTUALLY ARE. My 24 hours ran out about two hours ago and I feel like I've been wrung out and washed up. Never again do I wish to write 7200 words in 24 hours. NEVER AGAIN.

[stained_glass]

But you SURVIVED IT! *ADMIRES* and *LOVES* Is there anything more you need to do?

[dormouse-in-tea.livejournal.com]

Oh darling, I am thinking of you! Should we send a report to Amnesty International? Ack.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*blubber* *nod* help.

6. a delicately romantic Vorkosigan story [...] possibly called "five times ImpSec tried to arrest the entire population of Vorbarr Sultana"
Hee! Then again, that might well be the Barayaran version of romance: nothing says "I love you" like an ImpSec arrest.

10. Your adviser sounds awesome, and so right about these gender issues. I'm sorry your other professors are less enlightened.

Good luck with the exam! It sounds horrible and ridiculous and unfair, but you will get through it. And then you can write more wonderful fic for us all. :)

*grins* It has a sewer gas explosion in it. Shim was helpful in making me realise that maybe I did not want sewer gas in my little romance.

Thank you, my dear!

[rose71.livejournal.com]

On the positive side, that fic idea could be ... memorable? People would say, "That's the fic that makes sewer gas romantic." *grins*

Glad to see that you have survived your exam and are now free to think about more important things like Vorkosigan fic. ;)

Hang in there. Let me know if you need anyone to shriek at in the wee hours or anything.

I see you've survived the torture (serious cruel and unusual punishment, there). What's next in the gauntlet?

[nerves-patterns.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

*HUGS* 24 hour exams actually sound like the worst thing EVER. WORSE THAN FINALS.
