Exam-i-nation

So exams have officially begun, and already we’re two papers down. Despite all the complaining and whining about how the lack of study is gonna kill me for the exams that we’re all supposedly not looking forward to, I actually like exams. They offer a sense of purpose and meaning. Doing work or studying close to an exam date always seems that much more relevant and gratifying than weeks before. But I suppose it’s all part of that misguided sense of a lack of belonging?

Well, at least for a short two weeks it feels as if I have the weight of countless people on my back. Probably just my family, parents in particular. But who cares about their expectations, honestly? If you don’t feel good doing something, why bother doing it; then again, that’s rather hypocritical wouldn’t you think.

Oh well, time to study for history tomorrow. Long night ahead.
