It’s a beautiful night out;
Half moon shining her heart out; a movie-scripted sky with stars dotting its already freckled appearance and a nice warm breeze. I should be out perhaps, enjoying a drink with friends or just randomly enjoying the randomity of creation but alas I'm pinned to my desk with the ghosts of exams past haunting me and the books eagle-spread on the table calling out to me in feigned embrace of a lover.
It is the eternal struggle of student vs. books; a fight no sane man was destined to win but alas we try; for what would be without the hope that perhaps if we try again, we just might succeed. Yes it's that time of the year again; lecturers are sharpening the knives and students, like sheep being led to the slaughter house, are 'eagerly' queuing outside exam halls oblivious of the evil schemes that have been hatched inside by conniving lecturers in a bid to shame them to the whole world and prove once again their superiority.
Yes, 'tis exam time once again and woe unto thee student; whether you have studied or not. It must be something in the books they make that make you believe that you have no knowledge of what it to transpire in the exam hall; or a spell cast on individuals to make their minds go blank when exam papers are placed before their eyes; or an elaborate scheme to ensure that questions posed cover only the topics that you have not studied. Either way, exam time has never and will never come at a good time in life; if it did then maybe perhaps pigs would fly and umbrellas would be the order of the day for all and sundry but I digress.
Irrespective of all this, yes it's time to sacrifice ones' life yet again at the altar of vindication of ones knowledge by the unforgiving, uncaring, illogical exams. Like a spiteful lover, they use you then leave you by the roadside, gutted and disillusioned. 'Tis exam time yet again student believe it or not and once again, they shall have their way with you, like it or not. So fight not their wily techniques, but embrace the energies of years of sharpened experience. Here's to another painful exam session.
Meanwhile the books beckon...how foolish of me not to respond…
