I was too busy worrying about what the prompt would be; how I will approach it; whether or not I will get a high English mark...whether or not God will be with me during exams...had my doubts because I was convinced that I'd be punished because of my lack of motivation during preparations - now I know that that was the most ridiculous thing I could think.
I'm touched by my family's faith in me and God that He will (and did) lead me throughout this exam. They took the time to pray for me and with me. I thank God for a loving family.
I also thank God for being with me before and throughout the exam. He kept my nerves in check (otherwise I'd be hyperventilating and be experiencing psychologically induced physical symptoms - stomach aches) Yeah, I was pretty calm. Even though I had ONE LAST SENTENCE to finish before the woman overseeing us grabbed my paper away (literally). She snatched it out of my hands *cry*
My thoughts? Well, I would be elated if I got over 40 out of 50 for my English...otherwise I'm just happy that it's over. PHEW.
Oh and reflections. I'm grateful that I don't have to suffer like my friend did. My friend...lets say 'K'- well, K- she- uh- has seizures- O.o
After the English exam, I found K and she told me she was feeling very sick (was already very sick during exams - worst thing that could happen to you because the exam results determine which uni and which course you will take. A bit like STPM/SPM) and wanted me to go with her to the health center. So I did, asked her how she was feeling (I knew she was generally unwell; get's sick often and faints often and that's about all I knew) So we hurried to the health center. Nurse wasn't in. She was having lunch. We were told to go into the room first and that the nurse will be with us shortly. We went in to the room then K just sort of fainted and started having seizures, I panicked. Thankfully the nurse came in soon after and told me to move away anything that could hurt her. Her seizures lasted about 3 minutes? Then she went into a semi-comatose state for about 10 minutes or so before she could respond to anything.
I was pretty flustered by the end of it, but somehow I was calm (I guess it's cos of the nurse being there, hahha.) Anyway, I got to speak to K after that when she was feeling much better. Asked her about her seizures; the frequency of it (average about 2 every week *gasp*); when it started happening to her et cetera. K told me that it started happening a year ago. But before that for 3 years she had non-stop headaches (from when she wakes up to when she sleeps) and that made me go - "Wow, that must be...so...difficult to endure (FOR 3 YEARS!)"
So reflections. Yeah, I'm really blessed to have a healthy body and to not suffer headaches and seizures! It was an interesting experience for me. I know what to do in situations like those now, haha.
*Note: If you do come across anyone having a seizure - MOVE any object away that might hurt the person. POSITION them in the recovery position - it's essential so that they won't choke on their tongue (yes, that happens.) And I guess, call the ambulance. But in K's case there was no need (partly because the nurse has previously been informed of K's condition)
So if you are feeling like you're the unluckiest person on Earth, there are bound to be others worst off than you.More exams for me...I have 5 more to go
