There's Black and There's White

The world is in black and white whenever exams are around - you either do or die.

You can't think of anything else. You have to work for the grades. You are expected to. Slack and you will be hit with guilt. Lag and you must catch up alone. It is all a war - every exam is a war. And the outcome is unpredictable.

Then there's always this place bustling with colours and warmth, and always a little too far to reach. A spectrum of colours would only pierce through the monochrome world once it is over. Gosh! When would that be?




Let me summarise what I've been through lately: Three days with four papers. I'm not the only one who had such a "blessing". In fact, there could be people with a whole week full of papers to sit for. Still, studying four heavy subjects at once can get frustrating. Very frustrating.

Extremely frustrating.

But what happens in the exam hall is normally a different story.

I'd say that everything so far is alright. Only one paper got me flabbergasted and only on one occasion (which was the night I sat for that difficult paper) did I get the exam blues. It took me some chocolate to get better before the next one. Unhealthy, I know, but effective.

Well, now that my self-imposed rest day is about to be over, I have four more papers to get over with. They've been bugging me at the back of my head even when I was indulging in my art projects. That probably means that the pressure has been turned up by several notches, especially with the harder papers coming up.

Wish me luck!

PS. Our little cousins will be at our place for several days. They're having fun punching out shapes for their art project now, but the mess, though expected, is getting unbearable.
