Exam Season

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :)

So here are some questions for everyone to answer since it’s the exam season and my head is nearly cracked due to the many facts and information digested:

1. Why is it so unfair that we have to learn so much for the sake of examinations? And then by next semester, we forget all that we learnt in the previous semester?!

2. Why do some lecturers teach their students something that would only come out in the exams? Are we really that exam-oriented? And do we want to be? And is it something that we want to pass to our students when we teach later on? There is a very horrifying truth inside this and we, as future teachers may end up doing so because of many factors involved. I’m warning you now.

3. Is it okay if I drink Milo twice a day? I don’t drink caffeine or Pearl Fatimah like some of my friends.

4. Is eating instant noodles really that bad when it’s time for exams? I mean, my friends eat it before exams and then when it is the exams season, they stopped eating instant noodles so does that really make a difference? Sometimes I feel lazy to go to the café but perturbed at the thought that eating mee cintan or mee seeddapp (tak sedap dah) would make me forgetful.

5. What’s the best?
1. I don’t sleep after subuh but will tend to be sleepy around 10am and perhaps take an hour nap or more than an hour, oh uh…
2. I sleep after subuh and wake up around 8am-ish, but latest at 9am, hmm…

6. Last semester, I felt really contented that I had leaded a balanced life. Even when I had study group but I played ping pong every afternoon because I had a ping pong mate who would willingly come and play with me. This semester on the other hand, I have no ping pong mate at all, so I play ping pong all alone inside the house with the wall so does that count as exercise?

7. It’s not that I’m too lazy to jog but I’m just worried that if I do so in the morning, I would feel tired and then may not really focus on my studies so is that really the case? Or if I do jog in the mornings or in the afternoons, I would feel more energetic? I know it probably depends on me but are there any scientific justifications that somebody out there can explained to me?

8. This semester, my course mates and I have to take one paper that has some maths innit and we find it very difficult to process some of the calculations. Is it because we, as English students have lack of practise in maths or is it because we, as English students are just not good in maths? It may seem funny to some but it’s really true! Out of 25 of my course mates, only 2 people are really that good in maths.

9. My sister hated it when her peers would come up to her before the exams and exclaim; eh, awak mesti dah study banyak kan? She said that it made her exasperated because what did her friends expected her to answer? If she said yes then they would say, eleh, if she said no, then they would say, ala, tipu. This is so true as it happened around me too and made me snickered. I never say it though mind you but I hear it all the time, not just to me but also to other people, huhu

10. Why do I always end up eating when studying? Is food really that comforting?

Happy answering! :p

Please pray for my semester 6 final exams, thank you ^_^
