"Exams are driving me crazy"..
I've heard that quote very often throughout my whole period as a student..
but I didn't know that exams can really drive someone crazy..
I've always thought it was just an exaggeration..
a way to start a conversation..
but this is apparently not the case for my friend who shall be referred to as "HM" for convenience..
This semester exams have been surprisingly a lot!!!
For the past 2 semesters, we always had 5 papers maximum..
but this time we had 7 papers!!
So, I can really understand the extra pressure felt by all fellow students including me!!!
but if you think about it,
you have almost a month of holiday before your exams..
If you think you won't have enough time to revise,
then you should start doing it during the holz..
You don't have to spend the whole day sitting on your table revising..
Just 2 to 3 hours would be enough a day..
If you choose to go on a trip, you do it at your own risk..
you know yourself more than anyone do..
so you should know your limit as to whether you can manage it or not..
but my dear friend "HM", unfortunately, always thinks he is better than anyone else in the world..
I'll just state a famous Chinese proverb, "When you feel that you know more than others, you know nothing."
Humans are God's most extraordinary creation because of our seemingly unlimited intelligence..
so there will always be someone better than you..
maybe not in this country but other parts of the world..
So, what causes HM's behaviour deviation?
I can only think of two reasons..
First, you feel the overwhelming pressure and you started to sleep at an awkward hours..
It is very common for people to have reverse biological clocks during exams..
Because of that, you'll constantly feel tired as the body needs time to adjust to the sudden change..
When people are tired due to lack of sleep, they tend to have mood swing..
I've been through it a few times so I can be called a 'veteran' in this matter..hahaha..
but again, you brought all this upon yourself on your own will even if it is unintentional and you should not drag the others into your own problem..
What I normally do when I'm tired is to just keep quiet..
It's always better to be safe than sorry..
Secondly, HM needs a girlfriend!!! Normally if you are in stressful situation like this, it would be great to have someone to comfort you and give you motivation..
An encouragement from a girlfriend saying, "If you do well for exams, let's go for a trip or I'll come and visit you" would be great..
so I think I need to launch a campaign to find HM a "kanojo"..
I am definitely confident that HM would be a totally different person after that!!!
My part-time hobby is to observe my surroundings and the people within it..
and experience has taught me that once you're attached, you'll never be the same again..
People changes with time..no matter how small that change is, it is still a change!!
Hehehe..blogging is really a good way to waste time and to relieve stress..
