Exam Jitters
Actually, its more the lack of it. I remembered back in the day when I was still in school, how nervous I would be as the start of any exam paper drew nearer. I would be frantically trying to cramp everything I had in my hands into my head in that short span of time. I would literally isolate myself so that I would not get distracted by everyone else. This usually happens because I was very ill prepared for that paper, and as always I expected myself to do very well with little effort.
But my students experience no such jitters. From my perspective, they looked like as though they had no exams that day and it was just any other day in school. They would be laughing and playing, or talking about everything else other than the formulae they have to memorize or the who-did-what-when questions I would have asked my friends before the paper.
Is it well preparedness or just simply bo chap. What;s worse is when they start to sleep 15 minutes into the paper. Maybe they are just too brilliant. They don't seem to take anything seriously, not even exams. I worry about what would happen when they face such situations in the future. Is this the kind of attitude that they would take on? I certainly hope not.
The last time I blogged was probably last Friday. Fortunately, I did do what I said I would do. I did my gym routine and went home to run the 6 kilometre route. But that was the end of my exercise last week. Saturday was spent with Ana and her sisters at their relatives place. Sunday, I had my open house. So I really didnt have time to exercise. I had time to mark though, which was good.
On Monday, the ESSS dragon hearters played Ultimate and after that I did my gym routine in double quick time because it was my dad's birthday and we were going sewnsens. Tuesday, we played Frisbee again but that was it. I aimed to do my gym routine on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but yesterday, I fell ill. I had this terrible running nose and I could not stop sneezing, so after school all I wanted to do was to eat my chlorophendremine and sleep. By the time I woke up it was too late. This sucks but I hope to gym later today and run off all the bad stuff I ate for 5 days.
I am currently waiting for some Graduation Day rehearsal which I have to emcee. Hopefully that doesnt take long so that I can have an early gym session. Ill then try to slot in a run before Dillah and wife comes around 7ish.
Lets hope this works out.
