I can't believe this.

I feel like I'm in the Charmed episode where the Halliwells' house has turned against them. I can't even go back to my rented room because of the freaking darkness. It's almost as if a heavy invisible shield is preventing me from entering the house. It's fortunate that I go home late at night since the blackout came, or else the irritation this has caused would have been so much greater.

In other news, I'm finally done with my first run-through of the coverage for the actuarial exam! Yayness. I'm starting over, just to finally have a good grasp of the different formulas (meaning: memorize the formulas), and to acquaint myself with the different types of problems once again. After this more thorough second run-through, I'm going to answer the ACTEX multiple choice questions, then after that, I'm going to answer the past Course FM exams. I plan to accomplish all this by November 1, because it's not the only exam I'm going to take! I still have the LOMA exams to seriously consider. So: By November 2, I'm planning to study the new LOMA 280 book (for at least three days-- I'm being hopeful here), then browse through the LOMA 290 book afterwards (which I've already read some few weeks back). LOMA should be done and over with by November 6, because by November 7 and 8, we'll be taking the exams! And by November 9, I'm going to take the actuarial exam! It's going to be a hectic week of studying, but all in all, I feel good. Not because I'm confident that I'm going to have high marks (although I wish for this, too), but because this "mugging" (TM Joseph) is bringing back wonderful memories of college.
