My Leaving Certificate Examinations started yesterday, June 3, 2009, Wednesday. Despite my teachers, my parents and even my classmates reminding me to study weeks prior to the start of the exams, I did nothing of the sort.
So yesterday, I did honors level English, paper one, imaginative composition. It was tedious, but not hard. I'm certain I didn't get a very high score as I lacked sleep and couldn't be very imaginative. The exam started at 9:45AM, and ended at 12:30PM. On my way home, I decided to study for my honors level English, paper two, which is about poetry, plays and several novels... many of which I've read only once.
When I got home, I changed my clothes and instead went to the cinema and watched "Angels and Demons". I returned home totally stoked and tired. I fell asleep and woke up at 1 FREAKING A.M. in the morning, THURSDAY. JUNE 4, 2009. I studied nothing, and I am going to FAIL!!
I dump all my English books, novels, poetry books, notes and past exam papers all over my bed ('Macbeth', 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time', 'Philadelphia, Here I come!', 'Cinema Paradiso' notes, notes on six poems by Elizabeth Bishop, Michael Longley and Derek Walcott, each!) and look at them. Overwhelmed by panic, I desperately tried to take in as much information as I could, fueled by an entire bottle of Coca Cola: Zero.
2:12AM. Everything was on the floor, and I lay in bed, masturbating violently and yelling "OH GOD!! OH GOD!! I'M SO GONNA GET RAPED BY THAT EXAM!! OH GODDD!! IF ONLY IT WERE POSTPONED!! I'D FREAKING PASS THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!"
After climaxing all over my headboard (turns out, stress improves the intensity of orgasms!), around 3:42AM, daddy calls from work and says that the exam papers for ordinary and honors English paper 2 had been leaked.
Basking in the afterglow of my desperation, panic, mild arousal and awe, I got a moment of epiphany concerning me and my study habits.
It is 5:07AM and I am posting this irrelevant and totally pointless thread for the sake of chatting. Its not a rant! I'm just in so much awe and wonder right now that I had to share it! Also, my right hand's tired and sore from all that turbo-pump action, so I sort of can't do anything else.
...So, do you guys have any past experiences involving stress and/or exams you can share? Or any problems that seemed to have vanished just when you were dreading them the most?
