When I surf the internet today, I randomly found out this interesting event from Facebook. The event was" One day before exam I will be the most religious person in the world". Yeah! That’s right!! I can tell the whole world I know myself than anyone else, and I will only do things last minutes sometimes, but I’ll become very unstable and nervous before the exam start, and I believe everyone does. Especially 5 minutes before the supervisors put the exam papers on my table, I would pray to whatever god I know in the world and hoping for higher grade, Because I am Chinese so I pray to buddhish god the most, even though I know praying does not helping anything for my grade, but at least I can stay calm and reorganize my mood to answer the questions. In fact, personally I have some tips for preparing the exam, and I guarantee you won’t fail your test anymore if follow it step by step. Firstly of all, making flash cards can be time consuming, but they are helpful tools in remembering vocabulary, formulas, and key concepts. They are also easy to carry around with you so you can review them anytime. Secondly, get enough sleep is really important, I think the whole class already knew that I love to sleep however especially for me, if I get a full night of sleep I will become more alert than usual, more focused and learn things easier than those who are sleep deprived. Especially during the weeks preceding exams keep your sleep schedule as consistent as possible. Somebody might have laugh at me, because I always have my eye bags with me every day I go to the class, even though I feel like I have recharged myself very much. That's because I'm allergic to dust, despite of the eye bags I will sneeze like hell in the morning almost every day. However, to keep you in a good grade, practice is unavoidable. To ensure that you are prepared for your exam, make a mock exam for yourself and you would be able to understand how well you know the material you have absorb from the books, just like how we used to do in high school. Remember Trail exams? I really hate trail exams, and I am saying this from the deep of my heart. I get really stress up during trail exams when I was in high school. I just can’t understand why is exam so important to us? I strongly have a though that we are not going to us most of the knowledge or source we learnt in the college in the future. Many of my friends or cousins are graduated from top university in the world, of course people may think this is very helpful for our future, and that is true, a high qualifications could have help you to get a job easily in the future, but the time has changed in our generation, think in this way, when you think you are good at something actually nevertheless there are millions of them who is much better than you. In my opinion, I think having a good skill in something is better than a qualification, although qualification is important to us as well, but in the same time we should always find an opportunity to enrich ourselves and get more experience to associate oneself with other people in the society.

Exam is approaching!!
Yes, the exam is approaching in 4 days time, and I haven’t really started my revision yet. The reason why I haven’t start my revision is because I wanted to quit college and go back to Taiwan, remember? Luckily I didn’t have to go back, but the disadvantage for me for not going back is to continue doing my assignments, and I’m doing one of them right now. Flashing back in time when I was just in high school, everything was just so relaxing compared to the life I have now. Every day in high school, my classes finishes at 3 o’clock and after that is basketball session for those “basketballers”. In contrast, I am rushing with all the assignments and exams in this particular time, it makes we want to shout and throw everything out of my room just to release my stress. I know that is not related to the topic at all but I just feel like saying it.
Do you guys know I keep scratching my back when I get nervous? I bet most of you don’t know. As you can see during the exam I will lying on the desk and put my hand on my back then start scratch. Especially when I am answering all the structure questions. I hate memorizing things, and I have swear to the god after I graduated from high school I am not going to take those subjects like history, geography and English literature anymore. Because I keep failing my history and geography, I just can’t remember like a robot and absorb everything that has happened in the world. Honestly, what can you do after memorizing everything which has happened before? We won’t be able to fix anything other than learning the mistakes from the past, right?
On the other hand, I really love to study physic and chemistry. I feel excited every time I see all the technology that has improved by some engineers. Moreover my ambition was to become an engineer, somehow after attending few classes of engineering I felt like I am more interested in advertising. Commercial advertisement really attracts my attention from the television and that’s the reason why I am willing to spend almost whole day to blog for my assignments. Because this is just a small step for me to achieve my success, furthermore, blogging can improve my English writing. In other hand, I can have some other benefits and not just to tell the whole world about my boring life in the blog. Back to the topic, in case I fail my midterm exam, I have arrange my timetable for studying and the notes to read. I just hope the exam papers won’t come out so difficult. I remember midterm exam is about 20% out of 100% in our overall grade right? I am starting to panic again. Well, even though I can’t make it for our midterm life still goes on, but I just don’t want my parent to be disappointed again, because I have disappointed them many times. Anyway, good luck everyone. All the best for midterm exam. :)
