6.20am

just like i predicted yesterday, this morning i woke up at 6.20am, 10 minutes before my alarm went off. you know whats going to happen though. come saturday, i will wake up at 6.20 because my body will have gotten used to it. felt a little cheated of 10 minutes extra sleep i could have had this morning.

booked an exam. i know from experience that if you don't book it then you don't have a date to aim for and then you don't end up studying hard for it. anyways the booking is in a couple of weeks and i am going to try and do a concentrated effort and take the exam and force myself not re-schedule.

i won't tell anyone at work i am doing an exam. have found from previous experience that for some strange reason people don't like it when you tell them you are studying and planning to do some exams.

its not just bosses that don't like it, because they wonder you are just trying to make your resume look good and must be planning to leave. co-workers as well don't like it because they think you are trying to make them look bad or being a smart arse. no one likes a smart arse and that includes me. i am not trying to be a smart arse. i just want to do my exams, learn some shit, make my resume look good and maybe an interesting opportunity might come from it. thats all. we do what we got to do.

anyways will just tell the people at work that i will need to take a longer lunch the friday of the exam and am meeting friends, when in reality i will be sitting in front of a computer for an hour in a testing centre in the city trying to get certified in hyper-v. sad but true and a rather strange turn of events, when i think back to when i was in school and i used to say i was studying or going to the library and would just end up playing computer games or football with my friends, to now, when i am saying i am going out with my friends but actually am going to be studying.
