終戦。

Well. my exams are over. As a friend of mine remarked as we were finishing lunch, we are now officially part of the unemployed. Well, not strictly. we're all still students as long as the results aren't out and the convocation ain't over and you don't see those tassels doing somersaults in the air.

Anyway, i can see and feel the emancipation on everyone's faces as they stream out of the exam hall. Everyone's really relieved that its all finally over. in a way, i feel it too. it has been a very big weight off my shoulders and it has been a tremendously long and ardous journey for me. but i do not feel the sense of euphoria that i thought i would. It was really something to look forward to but now that the end has come and gone, it seems that it wasn't that big a deal after all. at least, thats the case for me.

anyhow, i din't think i did too well for my second paper, although it was an openbook examination. A really apt description for my situation then would be an old Duran Duran song called "Too Much Information". i had so much reference materials that i find myself checking my answers almost all the time, from different sources. I think i spent more time doing that than the actual paper itself. Not knowing how to do about 25 marks worth didn't really helped me there either.
As for today's paper, it wasn't that bad, but wasn't as good as i would have wanted it to be. What set this one apart from the first two was that there were loads of time. i finished the paper with about an hour left on the clock. the thing is, there were tons of theory questions and i think i scored with at most half of them; it was basically smoke bombs all the way. i hope the examiner takes it easy on me once the smoke clears.

it seems the next logical question people ask me will be what are my plans now that this phase is over. well, to say the least, i hope to find a job. Though i think i will probably take about a week or so to relax and soak in my new found "freedom" for a bit; indulge for a while, read a book, get some much-needed exercise, finish up the audio project,etc. Hmm...looks like i've got quite a list there. Maybe a week isnt enough.^_^
