I also want to tell you a story.

If you hike in the mountains it happens all the time, and I am pretty sure you've run into it. You are hiking up the hill and you look up and see the top, the crest of the hill. It's still ways up, but with each step you are getting closer, you huff and puff, and finally arrive there... only to find out that what you thought was a top, was merely a fold of the terrain, you can see another top, and who knows, maybe there is more up after it as well. You feel deflated, down, tired, disappointed. Perhaps you feel discouraged and wonder if you have it in you to keep on going. So you rest for a while, you sip some water, nibble your energy bar, maybe stretch out for a few minutes and watch the clouds, and then you resume hiking. Not because you have to, but because, after all, you want to get to that top, and may as well.

So that's how I see it with you finding that just when you thought you were done, you find you need to study as much again.

And you know what, with economy as it is, might as well keep on studying.
