A week outside reality

¦ dialling in from Sky BUnker ¦

17:30 GMT, Friday 27th March 2009.  I took my final exam today as part of the professional qualification I've been studying for all week.  I scored 89% in my Foundation exam on Wednesday so hopefully I'm around that zone for this one today.  Wow, what a week though.  A solid routine of early mornings, taxi from the corporate HQ to the training centre, learn, learn, lunch, learn, learn, mock exam or real exam... taxi back to corp HQ, drive home brain buzzing, review notes, home work, mock exams... fall into bed and repeat.  It feels like I've been involved for much more than just a week though.  I popped into the office late yesterday afternoon to say "cheerio" to Gonzo Ben and I felt utterly disorientated: this is where I work, these are the people I work with but... it was if they all belonged to a distant memory of a person I used to be.  The course has been massively intensive, but incredibly enjoyable. I never thought I'd like learning so much!

So I'm pretty confident about passing the exam; regardless, I can certainly start applying what I have learnt to my day-to-day job.  Now I'm back in my zone... my study... and I'm trying to coax my brain to stop gripping onto course material and allow my creative thoughts to seep back into the main cognitive flow.

Yellow Dawn session tomorrow, possibly one of the final sessions for the epic Shadows of the Quantinex Campaign; the characters have done really well so far.

Right... time to try and be creative.
