just took the exam that will determine how good of a grad school i go to. i believe that i did very well ... not exceptionally, but definitely up there.
on the walk back from the library, i thought to myself how triathlon helped me (so yes, this is almost on-topic)... long mindless hours on the trainer, miles of lactic acid in the pool, tempo runs where i hurt too bad to keep going but had too much desire to not stop.
after that, a stupid test doesn't seem so intimidating. and having an unintimidated mindset may be what gave me the edge over a nervous kid who is otherwise as qualified as me.
