Why does university always get my pulse running high?

Today I’ve been panicking about my very first faculty exam (book exam for a course) for which you have to enter by filling in an envelope. Well, I’ve just recently decided I’m going to do the exam and last week when I mailed the examiner, he was abroad and said that he’d mail me more info next (this) week. Yesterday he had mailed a group email about the amount of pages to read and what to read. Today I quickly checked what we have available here and decided the material I’m going to read. I have no idea if I have time to read all 400 pages well enough. Just now I was waiting for confirmation on my choices and the time was running short. Luckily, after a little investigation I found out that people haven’t been writing the literature on the envelope because the examiner never gets it before the exam and the literature is agreed upon via email. Phew.

So, I just dropped my very first exam envelope in the box. The exam is on 27th so I hope I’ll get the confirmation soon enough. I’m going to do some heavy reading for a week.
