In January when all my friends in SIS had their mock exams, I left. I had a month off school because it was summer holiday over here. Now my friends are enjoying their summer holiday, and I have to revise for my yearly exam. Really, what comes around goes around! My turn to suffer, my turn to struggle, my turn to be stressed?
Now, in reality I don't really feel that stressed. In fact, I'm probably more worried about the exam room being too cold, since the first thing that comes to mind when I think of exams is the exam room being too cold. That came from when I was in year 10, we had mock exams in April, and it was fairly warm so the air conditioning was turned right up. It didn't help that most of the exams at that stage were easy enough so that I would finish in half the time given and end up sitting there shivering for half an hour. As for the exams coming up, it's winter so it'll be cold, but at least I'll be wearing winter uniform. This time, I won't have time to sit there shivering; I'll be writing as fast as I could, worrying that I'll run out of time.
I won't have to worry about getting to school the way I did when I was in year 10, since I go to school on public transport anyway. Of course, I'll probably get out earlier than I need to and end up sitting around waiting for a long time.
At the end, I still don't really worry about the exam itself. I just don't. It's not because I feel confident either. I guess some things never change, I'm like that. May be I'll act worried when I see my friends being nervous, but I won't know if I'm just acting like that to avoid standing out too much.
