Exam.

I skipped tuition, knowing that there won't be anything useful for me to learn and I will be just wasting my time there.I rather stay at home and revise by myself.2morrow is the day , one of my major exams.But still ,nothing much I suppose.Thinking back,3 years after this, will I still be having any concern for this exam thingy?How far will it affect my life?After all, our whole life is a never-ending exam.So,why the fear for exam?Still,I suppose,like any other normal 17 year old teenager should be doing, I should be worrying about it.It does play a role in my college entry after all.I must say,I am definitely not fully prepared yet.

Actually, exam is nothing but a trick.A clever trick devised to fool the entire community of students, and there are plot holes everywhere to score an exam.For instances, one may cheat by various means ( e.g putting books in toilet, referring to them in certain way, copy friends ) But of course , I am not encouraging that way or using them either.For a normal,hardworking A1 student,exam means it is time to bury yourself with endless facts , biographies,definitions and everything else in the book.However,if we were to look at it from the other side, we would discover that it really isn't a test to memorize and understand the whole thing.It is just a gimmick , a trick , like I mentioned earlier.One can actually do well in exam even though he/she doesn't study all the facts in the book.How?

Well,think of it this way.Lets say there are approximately 200+ pages in a reference book,but in the exam, there will always be only a few pages, only around 5-10 pages ,right?So,get my point ?This is the true definition of "study smart ,not study hard".Just study whatever that is coming out.Still, it is easier to say than to be done.One can employ several means to get the scope of the questions. Asking your teachers for example, could be a big help.( If your teachers are friendly that is ...) One can even try to predict what is coming out and simply memorize that certain part.( This, one needs to have some certain sixth sense to be able to do it.Apparently some of my friend DOES have this sixth sense lol)

Actually,it is not that hard to predict what is coming out judging on the rationale and logic of the subject.But still,this is sort of a risky gamble.Either you win all, or you lose it all.And the percentage of losing all is rather high.So, it comes down to these two options.Either you study like hell , or predict and study only those that you think will come out.Sure, the first option is definitely better, but if you are lack of time, which do you think would be better?I chose the middle path, a bit of this and that.Lets see how I will fare in my exam.

Today, I came across a rather interesting quote from a drama (Step of Dance , 8tv 7.00 p.m) that is "If you got problems , you must let it out, find someone to share it with.Happiness will only be doubled when you got someone to share it with, sadness will only be reduced if you got someone to listen to it " .True I guess...Though, I would rather be happier being a listener than doing the contrary.

This evening,I suddenly have a spur of desire to check out one of shakespeare's famous poem,Sonnet 18 and another one entitled Life Brief's Candle.Funny, why does it always seem that I am always late in admiring works of others?Anyway,it is simply entrancing.The poem,especially Life Brief's Candle is so true to it's meaning.Just take a look at it.

"   Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
 Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
 To the last syllable of recorded time,
 And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
 The way to dusty death.  Out, out, brief candle!
 Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
 That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
 And then is heard no more; it is a tale
 Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
 Signifying nothing.

"
It just reminds me of how short life is.One moment you might be having the happiest moment of your life and what did you know, it all turned into chaos in a split second.Life is short,enjoy it.

So,2morrow is my exam.That marks 3 weeks to suffer before it ends.So,be it.I shall endure,I shall persevere, and somehow, I shall gain happiness.Good luck to others too!!!
