Today, I shall talk about exams.
Mine had been over two weeks ago, but in my opinion, the nerve wrecking moment is when it's over. You heard me, folks.
Pre-exam! This is the period where those who had since long been prepared will strut confidently, already familiar with everything. It is also the period in which those who are NOT prepared will pull out their hairs trying to figure out the solution to the certain problem. (Curse the select few lecturers who do not give solutions). During this time, past-year papers are examined and analysed, while done with much care and desperation.
During the exams itself, when a familiar question pops up, the first thing everybody feels is confidence. The opposite happens when a not so familiar question pop up too. Those who are really afraid will then attempt to calculate how many marks they are able to get, hoping for a mere pass even with the last minute cramming they had staked their lives on.
And now, post-exam. At first, due to the exams done, you'll have fun for a bit. But that's only the beginning.
Anxiety. Nerves. Stress. Fear. Those emotions run through everybody as the fateful day approaches. Some will wonder: "Will I get an 'A/B'?", while others wonder: "Will I pass?". Truly, the experience of post-exam stress can push a person to their most desperate, because of one simple reason.
"What matters is the result." - Lelouch from Code Geass.
Yes, that is the reason. Even if the exams have ended, everyone wants to, but is afraid to know how well/badly they had done. I feel a lot that way too.
And so, here I sit, waiting for the 4th October to approach me, slowly but steadily.
Lalala~

Ever since the start of the holidays, my first week had been dedicated to good old ACERs. The Parents' Forum event was a success. For me, anyway. I just love the parents. They're really awesome, patient, and kind with us.
And I got a job, thanks to my old friend, KY. I'll be working as a receptionist at Kumon, so essentially, it's the same as being an ACER, but I get paid.
I actually should be in my Japanese class tomorrow evening, but I'm postponing it in favour of my job training. :\ Even though it's my Tuesday's teacher's last lesson with this current class. Sumimasen, Sensei. Shigoto desu kara... I know she might have wanted to give me the Ikoma cert herself, but I have no choice but to deny her that pleasure... I'll be taking the promotion test on Wednesday.
Things have quieten down lately. It's about to get busy again. I'll be back to update, so be here to read up! ;)
