Well it's just after 6am and in 5 hours I'll be totally done with the Arabic exam and probably rushing back to my apartment to take a cat nap before the first meeting this year of the Middle East Legal Forum (a fancy name for the YLS student group that focuses on Middle East and Islamic law stuff).
Less than 3 hours until the exam starts, so I need to get in the shower and get some coffee so that I'm physically sitting down reviewing with two hours before the exam. I will be really embarrassed and mad at myself if I don't pass into intermediate Arabic, but I'm also worried that the exam won't be as easy as last year and that, now that the professors administering the exam has been here for a year, she'll use an exam more like the one at Columbia (in other words: I haven't memorized the 10 verb forms that WERE tested at Columbia last year but were not tested at Yale).
Ok no point in stressing :) Results will be posted tonight, so I'll let you know what happens!

UPDATE: 7am and I totally know the 10 verb types and how to derive the past, present, and gerund for each form: Teal Muff IfA Tough Nuff Fat Lal Stuff!

Counting the Hours
