Exams Revisited

The glories of conquering my last semester exams were short-lived. Because, they’ve started to haunt me once again. My Mid-semester Exams are due from tomorrow and what’s worse, I’ve six papers this time, and I still don’t even have a clue what’s in them!

The three days goes on like a festival in my university, hostellers staying up till 3AM, 4AM drowning themselves in endless cups of tea and coffee. I just spent a 200 Rupees on the Photostat copies, which made me repent, if only I had been to the library a bit earlier, now that all the good books are taken.







I had a good three days of a mini-vacation which I wiled away happily, watching movies, roaming around the cities having a merry time. And now when I sit with books in my hands, it’s all greek and latin and I’m starting to panic! (And I still can’t believe, I’m typing a blog entry amongst all this, lol)

Six paper
s to go, three days of horror and less than 15 hours for the first torment! What do I do? I took a moment’s break. Waited for a hot steaming mug of coffee, and started to think! How to handle these three days? Completely lost, I came back to my workplace, having emptied the mug. I looked at the Photostat copies, fresh from the machine! I went through the text for a while, nothing made sense! I couldn’t even recall if I listened to these in class, No! But I was regular to the class, although the text and the class notes seemed so disconnected.

I took my mobile, and I quickly sent an SMS to my pal,


“Heylo! Wat the hell, I can’t recall if the lecturer EVER took chapter 10 in the text!”


Pang came his reply,

“Dude! We never even crossed chapter 3 in the Text, Chapter 10 is way out of our exam portions!”

Omigosh! The few hours I spend before the exams, goes unnecessary like this. (I Really wished if they could include chapter 10 for my sake! ;)) (And not to mention the 25Rs loss on the inappropriate photostat :()


So, this is why people say,”At least get the portions for the exams correctly!” ;)

And now here goes, I start from the beginning!


With such a start span of time (little of which can be attributed to my laziness:)), It seemed like a run for my life! And god, this is just the day before the first two exams, and who knows how horrible the other exams are going to turn out to be! Either way, the exams have a cunning way of out-witting me, they hit on the areas where I have less or no expertise. So, let me try my best to go through these three days.

And I’ll get back to you at the end of day 1!


Cya then,
Love
Jk.
