The Joy of Exams



This image illustrates pretty much how I feel right now. A little comical, brushing with potential disaster, but mostly, “huh?” It’s exam-time delirium—and I only have two exams, neither of which I have taken yet, but I still feel like Henrik Sedin. Is it the fact that the information I study seems to go in my head and right back out again? Are my exams like the stick, crippling me by sending me to the bench and out of the awesome game that is real life? Or perhaps I’m just reaching for an excuse to post an excellently comical photo!

If I’m feeling a little crazy, my sympathies are certainly with those brave souls who have five finals to contend with! I have observed the frayed nerves of some students, and the relaxed approach of others. And an amusing hurl of verbal abuse regarding vocal volume in the VIU library.

I tend to have some pretty terrible study habits, but astonishingly I have been diligently plowing through the books that are covered on my two English exams, and I’ve been able to track down most of my notes (unfortunately still searching for an illusive page). Like most students, I’m just counting down the hours until I am done and can:
a) watch the playoffs guilt-free
b) read any book I want
c) get back to writing stories rather than research papers
d) stop waking up at 4am in a panic wondering if I’ve forgotten to do anything
e) have some general fun times
f) continue to job hunt (okay, I don’t actually want to do this one, but it is a necessity of life and continuing my education)

I will, on the other hand, be thrilled to continue to update this blog throughout the summer on a monthly basis (or more often if I feel so inclined). Good luck on finals everyone!
