Yesterday's unfortunate encounter in the two most hectic papers had left me in immense tremor, that I was constantly fearing of the possibility to retain, despite the small chance each year. But Chemistry was so difficult that I couldn't help but to think that way. Thus, I revised all the way until 2 in the morning before turning in. That gave me much peace of mind, having studied and revisited the entire year's work to prevent any potential slip of mind.
As a result of the late night sleep, morning was a tiring one, and I soon regretted having done that, as my mind kind of blanked out minutes before the exam. Mugging mood in school is high, that everyone seemed to be doing their last minute stuffs. I was an exception though, pretty much due to my strong belief that the stuffs were already up there in my head, and as long as the question is there to stimulate my brain, that amount of knowledge should be enough. Nevertheless, when friends probed me with questions which I could not answer, panic effect always threatened to shake my confidence.
Soon, we were finally in the hall. First question got me stuck, and for a while I thought it's gonna be another goner, a well-designed killer after the Chem paper. Fortunately, the subsequent questions were more do-able. There was a little twist in between. The paper was a 3 hour one. But having been placed at one of the last few seats at the end of the hall, the sight of the clock wasn't exactly good. So after what I thought was a very long period had passed, I looked up at the clock, couldn't quite make out the numbers, but the position of the hands gave me a big scare. I thought time was up when the clock struck 10. I thought it was 11 already, and by then I still had 2 or 3 questions left. So I panicked for a while, and all my thoughts got blocked up. The more I wanna do, the more the stuffs won't come out. So I hastily hurried through many questions. I didn't look up at the clock anymore, largely because time didn't permit. It was only until 1015 that I looked up again, and realised 15 minutes had passed. I was puzzled for a while because 15 minutes allowance was indeed a little more than acceptable. Then, it suddenly struck me that "heys, it's not yet 11!" Math made me blur=P
Despite not being able to find the solution to numerous question, I thought the paper was overall a do-able paper. So when the paper finally ended, I was on a high mood. Yes! One more to go, and that's it.
