Hi Amazing Supporters! Hope everyone is doing well! You may have noticed that I have been writing fewer blogs recently. I haven't forgotten anyone of you :)) and I don't intend to abandon my blogs and this incredible website (how could I?). The reason why I haven't been very proactive is because of my upcoming Exams ๐ฎโ๐จ. I hate to say this, but my exams have been really stressful these two terms and I might not do so well in some of them (NOOOO). ๐ญ I have written a rough schedule of my exams and my emotions and revision plans below. ๐
Schedule: I have no idea who planned the school exam schedule but basically, in term 3 (July - early September), I have exams in August and they finish really really late August. By the time I've collected all my marked scripts to bring home, I am left with about three weeks or so before the End of Year Examination (the teachers make it sound like a killer).๐ To be honest, I am quite worried and stressed for the EOYs (End of Years) because I might not pass Chinese๐ถ and I don't think I'll do very well in the other subjects. Although I have received straight As for my WA3 (๐ฅณ๐ฅณ), I am not so confident as for the final papers, they will be testing all the topics and components I have learnt.ย
But with all the bad points, there will always be good points too. For example, my first paper starts on 22 September and my last paper is on 6 October. This means that after 6 October I will be freeeeeeeeeeeee (YAYYYY)!! โจโจ
Emotions: On days where I have no exams, I do not have to go to school. I am also advised to return home immediately after my exams. While this may give me extra time to revise, it kind of feels like PSLE 2.0. In primary school, EOYs were much more chill and they were like normal tests. However, this year, my EOYs are like major exams that will change my life forever. ๐ฅบ
The way the school makes EOYs so formal also adds extra pressure to the students as we fear getting bad grades. Furthermore, with WA3 just before EOY, it gives us little time to study and prepare. I guess from this we can learn to work under stress ๐.
Rough schedule: My perfect plan is to study study study during the week of school holidays and NOT waste any time (of course, I procrastinated and got distracted more than once which is really frustrating ๐ก but enables me to learn from my mistakes and plan ahead). I have no idea why, but I feel happy to just study everyday without playing or taking a break, maybe it's because I feel that I have taken too many breaks while studying in the past so I have to compensate my study hours. ๐
I made a to-do list on everything I have to revise and study and unfortunately, it was longer than expected *sigh*. I also took longer than expected for revision which really puts me behind time and I am currently still figuring out how to survive this month without failing my exams (please forgive me for my negativity). ๐
It is also quite hard when I see my siblings finish studying and starting to watch TV while I am still stuck doing the same thing. Sometimes I lose motivation but I remind myself that when it's their exam period and my exams are over, I will be able to enjoy myself. ๐
So far this is everything about my exams, I CANNOT wait for them to be over. Thank you for reading until the end! Have a blessed week ahead!ย
Best regards,
Adlyn
