A stress period

Within a forth night, we- the master TESL students are going to sit for our comprehensive exam (CE). This is the peak of our program. The most scarry moment. The is a test whether we have understood what we'd learnt during the One and a half year course. The first paper, we have to really know about research and statistics. I am in the mid of trying to memories the statistics -the anova - the differences of means, the df , the variance, F value and what not.
For the core papers, I choose Cik Pah's & Dr. Noreen's Second language Acquisition (they are good and sporting lecturers) and Dr. Arshad's Testing ( I choose his subject because I have keen interest in this subject - and Dr. Arshad is very good-looking too) .
For the elective papers, I choose Dr. Jaya's Material Development because I enjoyed his class very much, (He is such a talented comedian) and also Dr. Noreen's Oral Communication (because she is young, understanding and most importantly, good looking!)
Got to study now. i'm really worried. Time is very precious for me nowadays - i really got to organise it and set priority. I've got a bundle of my students' assignments and exam papers that need to be marked. I just wish myself luck!
