Everything from self-doubt to invigilator drama.
Exam season is upon us *cries* and there’s nothing you can do about it. You studied all night, yet can’t remember a thing. Your classmates are discussing topics in great depth that definitely weren’t on the syllabus and your anxiety level has reached an all-time high. You try to compose yourself but it’s too late - it’s time enter the exam hall.
"I can’t find my seat."
This must be a sign. Great, now everyone’s looking at me.
"We were never taught this."
Fighting a losing battle over here.
"I’ve got this."
Must be confident. Must stay calm.
"I’ll skip this question."
Oh and this one...and this one..
"What is everyone else writing ABOUT?"
"What if all 12 of my pens run out of ink?"
I only brought 12. I have no spares.
"Why are my hands sweating?"
And my face, armpits and back? Clammy central.
"CONCENTRATE!"
Dammit. It’s astounding how your mind can find the time to procrastinate at such a crucial point in your life.
"How many marks have I got so far?"
"The invigilator is standing next to me."
Why me? What have I done?
"HAND CRAMP!"
I should get mitigation for this.
"OMG 10 minutes remaining."
"So many people have asked for extra paper."
I can't believe this - they must have big handwriting.
"Is this a trick question?"
"I know nothing. Literally nothing."
Playing hide and seek with the answers in my brain - they must be in there somewhere.
"Quick doodle or double check my answers?"
"IT’S OVER, FINALLY"
Until next time...
I wonder when retakes are
