Default AGH I can't stand the waiting

So, I have my Ph.D qualifier exam tomorrow which determines whether I can continue with my graduate school career. It's two hours of being locked in a room with four of my favorite professors while they grill me with questions. I've studied 40 long hard grueling days, learning everything there is to know about thermodynamics, gas kinetics, heat transfer, combustion, and spectroscopy. Tonight, with 14 1/2 hours left to go, all I can do is sit here, flip some flashcards, and wait for the inevitable.

It sucks...

Thanks for the kind words everyone

I'm going to bed now, and hopefully it will be all over soon.
