Blast!

I had English Oral exam today... and I didn't even know it was supposed to be today! I'm the English Rep and I don't even know it's the day for Oral examination!! Aaargh!

I was in such a nervous wreck that I stumbled across most of the words in the passage. I really hope the invigilator will pass it off as an earwax problem after what, 19 students? Do you know how sombre the atmosphere felt?

Imagine this. You go into a room and wonder what you'll do when you get home. Then someone tells you that you have to stay behind for a little while - with everyone else in the room. Okay, it isn't that bad.

But they make you hang back longer than you expected. And they started calling people out one by one. And when the went out, they never came back.

Imagine you're kept back so long that by the time they call you, there are only two other people left. Out of 20 people, you're one of the last three. Until then you see people go out and never come back.

It's scary, I tell you. Sort of like getting ready to run headlong towards a fully loaded Colt .33 and hoping they don't fire, and when you're running, you wish you hadn't come.

And yes, so I left the room and thought, hey, maybe it's not so bad. At least I'm outside. I'll just go join up with the rest who left before me.

Outside was empty.

So I sat for my exam. Hints for people who actually read this blog and are going to take the exam! It's about a very bad story-telling session and the conversation will ask you what you will do when you grow up and how you're going to apply the stuff you're learning now to it! I said I was going to be someone when I grow up. When she asked the second question, I replied, "Use what I'm learning? I'm not going to. I'm going to find something else that they won't teach us in a decade or two!"

I tell you, I'm gonna' fail!

So the world will go by without noticing and I won't get my sympathy. Who visits me anyway? No one ever tags me.

Well, at least I go a chocolate bar for getting out of school without killing myself over the test.
