Exam-itis
Exam-itis – Fate suffered by men who get themselves occupied by exams that friends who they shared laughed together before is currently not in their radar. An obvious symptom is they can be seen alone in a room or at a corner and have no time to smile, and laugh is a big no-no. They are said to have a mood swing that would soon be OK just like normal after the last paper of their exam. In short, they are behaving like a different person when exam is around. How to deal with the person with this disease? Fuck them goodbye.

It comes again. Exams. And it is the time of the year where everybody seems to get themselves occupied and unavailable, much to the panic alert of millions pages of books they haven’t revise and thousands of tutorials have to be squeezed in one night. It’s a hell for procrastinators but a heaven full of nude dancers for anyone who have seconds, minutes and hours in their pocket. Procrastinators would most probably be in Man Utd shoes in the FA Cup final last night, when they wished they had more time in a given 120 minutes of play. While the time-wise people who have every single theories and applications of DNA Profiling whatever not, in their grasp is utterly resemble Chelsea in last night turmoil, where they wished the referee would blow the whistle more sooner.

Where am I? Fair enough and frankly speaking, I deal with my time well and tried very hard to find a way to unwind and have a good laugh with my wicked comrades – and even squeezed my time to update this blog when everybody is being tied with invisible rope of complex numbers, differentiation, theory of evolution, DNA transcription etc.

Mood swing during exam season is the thing that bothers me a lot. Everybody seems to have that doldrums when it comes to exams, and other’s feeling is the thing that is not to be prioritized for the moment. It is the time of the year when kiasu-ness getting appalling. Lengthy shout of Dino may explain how disappointing it can be when people that we know is a cheerful, joyful and nice to befriend with turned out to be an exam-oriented animal, with kiasu as his/her middle name and deposit friendship on hold for a week. How sad and how daunting exams could get us so occupied.

If you ask me, my favorite spot of the day is still and will always be,

The awe-inspiring grassland with hypocrisy-free environment

With ever inspiring people of mine

And not the seasonal study carol which get dirty only at the end of the semester,

No matter there are 17 millions of subject I have to sit for my exam.

OK, fucking them off might not cut it. Just my humble piece of advice, don’t let the ugly force of exam to strip our reasons and considerations when it comes to relationship. Anyway, good luck for the exam anyone!

P.S. And my good luck to Stevie G as well in his upcoming exam in Athens.
